This is satire in keeping with the site's stated tone, not an enforceable rule. Actual rules are on the [[Rules]] page.

New page

This page describes the '''tone and culture of [[2swagg]]''' as presented on the public site. 2swagg describes itself as "an off-color, absurd-humor, spamming and raiding website," and much of what follows is comedic framing rather than literal policy — the [[Rules]] page is the place for actual policy.

== Swaggtan ==
'''Swaggtan''' is the site mascot: a pink anime-girl character who appears on the site's 404 page and in its rotating banners. Per the FAQ, she was created by a site '''moderator''' named Slashstabslice. (Slashstabslice is a moderator, not an owner or founder.)

== Rotating taglines ==
The homepage cycles through dozens of short, absurdist one-liners that change on each page load. They set the site's shock-humor comedic tone. Many are edgy or NSFW-adjacent in tone and are not reproduced here.

== House humor and in-jokes ==
* '''GET''' and '''checkem''' — see [[FAQ and glossary#Culture terms|FAQ and glossary]].
* '''greentext / pinktext / bluetext''' formatting conventions — see [[FAQ and glossary#Text formatting|FAQ and glossary]].
* "namefag", "tripfag", "newfag", "anon" — classic imageboard terminology, used the same way here.

== SomeBois Guide for New Users ==
The rules page carries a tongue-in-cheek "SomeBois Guide for New Users" that instructs new users to "bully" various categories of poster — far-left posters, far-right posters, furry-porn posters, forced memes, and disliked namefags, tripfags and anons. This is satirical framing consistent with the site's self-described "off-color, absurd-humor" identity, not an actual moderation rule. Actual enforceable rules are on the [[Rules]] page.
