Risa: Your Home Away from Spacedock

Welcome to Risa

All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.

Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not KlingonThis is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.

  • No harassment, brigading, or trolling
  • No bigotry
  • Keep the banter playful, not hostile

Rule 2 — No Prohibited CargoSome things aren’t welcome aboard.

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

Rule 3 — Keep It TrekPosts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.

  • Crossovers are fine
  • Low-effort “unrelated” memes may be spaced out the nearest airlock

Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole
You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don't get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.


If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn't inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.

Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.

OK, for those like me who had no idea who this punter is:

In 2014, Kapoor began working with Vantablack, which was thought to be one of the least reflective known substances. He would later be granted exclusive rights to use the material for artistic purposes

Wiki link.

Yes. The additional context is that another artist was so annoyed about this that he founded a company (culturehustleusa.com) to invent an even blacker black paint for all artists to use except Kapoor. They've now expanded their product line to other "most-est" colours, including a world's pinkest pink paint. If you buy any of their products, you must tick a box certifying that you are not Anish Kapoor, or buying on his behalf before they will sell to you.

No idea how legally enforceable that might be, but it is hilarious.

It's all publicity stunts. Nothing wrong with publicity stunts, except when you raise hundreds of thousands of dollars with the Kickstarter you never deliver on.
