/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Canonically, you need to have graduated from Starfleet academy to get this job.
I'd love a star trek show that's basic just regular people living in a post scarcity society. A positive solarpunk style slice of life but all the characters are incompetent.
Canonically, this job is already automated. It was established early on that a portion of the simpler patterns on the holodeck are fully replicated rather than simulated. When the holodeck shuts down, it selectively reclaims everything that's not a person.
And if it has an uncontrolled shutdown, it will reclaim everything including the people.
Canonically, holodecks follow the same rules as replicators - they're capable (and incapable) of whatever bullshit drives the plot forward today.
It'd be funny if only the California class doesn't have self cleaning holodecks just to fuck with the ensigns.
It's a learning experience!
Learning to use cold water on... Protein.
O'Brien never worked with Holodeck buffers so there must be no safety.
