- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

As someone who has lived in apartments for most of my adult life, there are two easy fixes for this. If your place has a maintenance guy, hunt him down and either ask him to come by and do exactly this, or if it'd be fine for you to do it yourself. Most maintenance guys are just cool stoners who can fix things and they'll give 0 fucks if you want to fix something for them so long as you don't fuck up and have to call him to fix it.
If you have a land Lord, it's almost exactly the same. Call them, tell them you have an issue you need them to fix, then off hand mention how you'd just do it yourself and explain how before saying you wouldn't want to get in trouble for messing with their property. Again, most land lords will take you up on it and just let you.
If you have a corperate or bank land Lord, do it anyways and if anyone asks down the road just say it was like that when you got here. They're too beaurocratic to actually notice or care.
