House Rules of Iron & Ink
This place is a workshop, not a lounge. These rules are here so the work can stay sharp and clean.
1. Come as a weapon in progress
- You are not a brand here. You are a student and a craftsman.
- Speak as yourself, not as a persona or a sales page.
- Owning your mess is respected. Posturing is not.
2. Radical responsibility
- No whining without willingness. If you bring a problem, be ready to work it.
- You are responsible for your choices, your reactions, and your results.
- “They made me” is not an acceptable frame. We look for the move you can make.
3. Plain speech, clean conflict
- Say what you mean in simple language.
- Attack problems, not people.
- Honest disagreement is welcome. Contempt, insults, and drama are not.
- If you are heated, cool down before you post.
4. Privacy and the circle
- Treat what people share here as belonging to the circle.
- Do not screenshot or repeat personal details outside the group without clear permission.
- Stories used as teaching examples should be anonymized unless the person explicitly agrees.
5. No pedestals, no gurus
- I am a guide and a fellow practitioner, not a savior.
- Question ideas. Test methods. Keep your sovereignty.
- Do not recruit followers here, for any path, teacher, or ideology.
6. Work before performance
- Share attempts, drills, and experiments more than polished victories.
- Theory and clever takes are fine only if they point back to practice.
- If a post has no clear connection to mind, body, or ink, rethink it.
7. Respect the body
- No encouragement of self harm, starvation, or reckless stunts.
- Hard training is welcome. Stupidity disguised as toughness is not.
- If you give physical advice, stay inside your competence.
8. Respect the mind
- No bullying, dogpiling, or mocking people for their current level.
- Challenge each other with the intention to sharpen, not to dominate.
- If someone asks for support, read carefully before you answer.
9. Respect the work
- No spam, pitches, or self promotion without asking first.
- External links should serve the work of the group, not harvest attention.
- AI generated content is fine as a tool, not as a way to avoid doing your own thinking.
10. When in doubt
- Ask yourself: “Does this help someone reforge mind, body, or myth”
- If the answer is no, do not post it.
- If you are unsure, ask a moderator or ask me.
Violation of these rules can mean a warning, removal of posts, or removal from the group.The goal is not punishment. The goal is to protect the forge so the steel that comes out of it is worthy.

A training ground for outlier humans who want to reforge perception, body, and story into one coherent life.
