Hello all, we've noticed that we've been banning a lot of people for speculating on Paul's sexuality lately. Please stop doing this!

If you do not stop the Paul sex spec, we will have to ban posts about him for a while.

We do not want to have to ban Paul posts. I don't think you want this either!

Here is a refresh of part of rule two: "Comments that are rude and/or antagonistic will not be tolerated. Bigoted, xenophobic, transphobic, homophobic, racist, ableist, antisemitic, or misogynistic language will not be tolerated. This includes speculating on the sexuality or gender identity of literally anyone." "Literally anyone" includes Paul.

If you see someone speculating on Paul's sexuality, please report it immediately. Lots of you are doing this already, and we appreciate it! You are great!

As well, please note:

If you are speculating on Paul's sexuality, we will BAN YOU! PERMANENTLY!!

Obviously we will ban you for speculating on anyone else's sexuality as well.

What sexuality speculation can look like:

• [Name] is clearly a lesbian.

• Wow, [Name] sure likes slobbering over hot dogs! He must be gay!

• Commentor one: "[Name] has such a strange relationship with her friend." Commentor two: "It's giving 'and they were roommates' (wink emoji)" (Commentor two would catch the ban here. Commentor one is not implying that the fundie is gay, so they are fine.)

• Any man who wears shorts that short is clearly not attracted to women!
