Star Trek Fan Rules:

[Praxius]

Figured this could be a fun and informative topic.

Let's list some Rules that Star Trek fans should follow (non binding of course)

Rule #1:
Never ask a Star Trek Actor how long it took them to put their makeup on. They don't like it because they get that all the time. Google it.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

Rule #2:
Never ask Brent Spiner to sign something 'Data'.

 

[Praxius]

Rule #3:
Avoid a Star Wars vs. Star Trek Debate with a Star Wars Fan. You might as well get into a debate about Religion.... oh wait... they got a religion. Just smile and nod.

 

[Melakon]

Rule #47: There are no rules.

 

[F. King Daniel]

Rule #2009:
Always justify your dislike of a particular Trek by pointing out minor continuity nitpicks, while acting as though the Treks that you love are completely devoid of them.

 

[SPCTRE]

Rule 34 coincidentally is the same as for the internet in general.

"If it exists, there is porn of it. No exceptions"

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Rule #69 This is Star Trek so there is no Rule #69.

 

[urbandefault]

Rule #9: Always carry a knife.

Oops, wrong franchise.

Rule 0514 somehow allows leading zeroes. It's a rule I pretend doesn't exist.

 

[Praxius]

Rule #82.65 - Subsection 3 - Paragraph 7 - Line 2:
All Star Trek Fans must know how to either make a Vulcan "Live Long and Prosper" hand Gesture or be comfortable using a Ferengi Tooth Sharpener.

It is recommended to learn the hand gesture.

 

[T'Girl]

Rule #3:
Avoid a Star Wars vs. Star Trek Debate with a Star Wars Fan. .

Rule #3, subsection A. If you do get in such a debate, casually mention to them that Starfleet's light weight navigational deflectors block laser beams ... this drives them insane.

 

[Vandervecken]

Rule 8472: early Borg are best

 

[Nerys Myk]

Rule #1701: No bloody A, B, C, or D

 

[Smellmet]

Rule #1 Always try and get as many people into Trek as possible. Starting with your long suffering partner.

 

[T'var]

Rule #1 subsection A:
Whilst binge watching with your long suffering partner be sure to explain in detail, every scene, what exactly is going on.

 

[C.E. Evans]

Rule #1c: Your favorite version of Star Trek is the best period and any version you don't like isn't really Star Trek at all.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

Rule #∏: If you are in any argument in which you're taking a position against NuTrek, the first comment you make must reference lens flare.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Rule #4: there are FIVE rules.
