No bigotry of any kind allowed. Making racist, sexist, trans-/homo-/queerphobic, otherwise demeaning and hateful comments is not ok. Disabilities and mental illnesses are not to be used as insults and should not be part of your comment unless speaking of your own or absolutely relevant.
No gatekeeping and being rude to people who don't agree with you. Leave “gamer” stereotypes out of your comment (e.g. sexless, neck bearded, teenaged, basement-dwelling, etc). Don't compare people to animals, or otherwise deny their humanity. Even if you think someone is the worst human on the planet, do not wish death or harm upon them.
No "justice porn". Posts regarding legal action and similar is allowed, but celebrating someone being harmed is not.
Contrarianism for its own sake is unnecessary and not welcome.
No planning operations, no brigading, no doxxing or similar activities allowed.
Absolutely no defense of GamerGate and other right-wing harassment campaigns, no TERFs and transphobia, racism, dismissing of war crimes and praise of fascists. This includes “JAQing off”, intentionally asking leading questions while pretending to be a neutral party. This also applies to other forms of authoritarianism and authoritarian or criminal actions by liberal or leftist governments.
NSFW threads, such as ones discussing erotic art, pornography and sex work, must be tagged as such.
Moderators can take action even if none of the rules above are broken.

given that this was approved by Twitter's outgoing board as a final “fuck you” to Musk (who tried to slither out of it with some paperwork sleight-of-hand), I’m curious where the wiggle room is in this agreement or how the law firm is even liable.
IANAL but I was told that Musk would have a much bigger chance of success with this lawsuit if he sued the Twitter's former management. Going after the law firm is allegedly pointless and purely vindictive.
that would make much more sense as they’re the ones who took action to screw Musk over in this way by offering such a huge overpayment to the firm at the last minute. Thing is: Twitter’s former board no longer exists as an entity to sue, so Musk is suing the only entity he can: the law firm.
And I’m sure the former board members knew that when they did this. lol
