CCC = RGCC - personal attacks.

You can not set rules for this. It should be self-understood.

It's the job of the FG to watch over this as we don't want a second
RGCC. That's all. That's our only goal.

As for you suicide joke, I don't think many people had a good laugh
about it. But moderation? Come on...
