<h2>PRO TIPS FOR MAXIMUM FUN:</h2>
<ul>
<li>The mods are not on powertrips, they are friendly and are trying to ensure the quality of lainchan, not belittle your ideas.</li>
<li>Lainchan is a place to have your voice heard but not a place for you to drown out others' voices.</li>
<li>Mods usually ask each other for opinions before doing anything. We hate having to ban someone.</li>
<li> Just relax and try to have fun. Jokes are always welcome.</li>
<li> Visit a board you've never been to. Try out /random/.</li>
<li> Max file size is 35 mb.</li>
<li> PDF, ePub, and webm are supported across the boards.</li>
<li>We ALWAYS need contributors to our board software, located on <ahref="https://github.com/lainchan/lainchan/">github</a></li>
<li> Dice rolling: posting in the email field with the form "dice XdY+/-Z" will result in X Y-sided dice rolled and summed, with the modifier Z added, the result is displayed at the top of the post body.</li>
<li> Be smart when posting about potentially illegal activities.</li>
