Rule 1 - Don't be a dick
Don't be a dick. This includes any kind of trolling, baiting, etc. Bigotry may result in an instant permaban.
Rule 2 - No misleading or non-descriptive titles
No misleading or non-descriptive titles. Try to be brief but detailed.
Rule 3 - Keep post and comments relevant
Posts must be related to Plex and Plex-related products, apps. etc. Try to keep comments relevant to the parent comment and to the post.
Rule 4 - Keep discussions of "media aqcuistion" limited to means and methods only.
Discussions regarding media acquisition should be limited to the "how" not the "what", as this is not the place to discuss piracy of specific media. There are other communities for that, and we don't want to get this community defederated from instances where it's a forbidden topic. Posts/comments discussing specific acts of piracy ("How do I find X show?" or "Where can I download Y film?")will be removed. For further clarification see this post
Rule 5 - No asking / offering Plex shares.

Whilst this may seem out of the blue, it is something we have been considering for nearly a year - in order to future-proof, it is important that we disassociate ourselves from the "Plex" trademark.
Just the "Plex" trademark? They don't have a problem with the "Meta" one?
Meta in this case is not relating at all to the company.
You think that will stop a team of corporate lawyers?
Actually, maybe? Meta is an example of an arbitrary trademark. Meta is a word in everyday usage, so it becomes a lot more difficult to defend than say Kodak which isn't a word and is an example of an fanciful trademark. Could cooperate stooges take them to court and throw so much money at them they can even make a defense, of course. This is America were talking, cash is king and country. It just wouldn't be very easy.
Interesting. I wonder if that means they're looking into supporting Jellyfin and/or Emby
