I've been meaning to write something like this for a few years now, because a lot of users seem to confuse and conflate where they are on these sites.
WAATGM and the child sub/forum WATGMA are separate entities from TheRedPill, and are just hosted here.
Site owner @redpillschool extended similar invitations to the MRP subreddit and the MGTOW subreddits (before those got banned), but only WAATGM took him up on it.
An example of some of the confusion: I've seen users in TheRedPill or on The Hub at the trp.red side of the site say things like "I don't want to call this man the S-word and break the rule against shaming men". While "no shaming men for any reason" is the first rule at both WAATGM and WATGMA, the rest of this site has different rules. At TheRedPill, it's perfectly OK to call out a man for simping.
Just be aware of where you are, and what the rules are there.
And yes, I get it can be confusing because there is a LOT of crossover in membership, and it doesn't help that I moderate at both (most mods for one aren't mods at the other). Hint: anyone at WAATGM with green flair is a mod, and at other forums they'll be labeled other ways and/or make themselves known when necessary.
Anyway, to make sure you're within the rules of whichever forum you're in, open the sidebar using the dropdown menu from the little half-black and half-white square at the top of the page. Once you start learning the rules at each one, a simple glance at the top of the page you're on will remind you where you're about to post/comment.
Now for those of you who only come to forums.red for WAATGM, there is a lot more to the dot reds than just WAATGM. For all that I'm rather proud that the WAATGM forum has the most traffic of anything on the dot reds, some of you are missing out by staying only in WAATGM. There's the child forum of WATGMA (with lots of additional recommended reading in its sidebar), as well as TheRedPill and askTRP, as well as other forums that don't seem to be nearly as active. Many of you have missed some great posts at WATGMA, and your commentary would have been a welcome addition. Same with the other forums, if they are something that interest you.
There's also the trp.red side of the site which functions kind of like Twitter, and has separate tribes within it. All forums on forums.red originated through tribes on trp.red, and so if you want general conversation relevant to WAATGM but don't necessarily have something that fits the strict posting rules for our forum, try the WAATGM tribe as @moorekom said in this post.
Check out some of the other tribes there. Frequently TheRedPill's tribe will have discussions that didn't merit a post in the forums. There are political tribes, a satire/shitpost tribe, a TRP memes tribe, and others of various levels of activity (or inactivity lol).
And of course there's just general discussion at The Hub, and if you use the OG feed on The Hub, it'll show all recent posts from all tribes (including ones you aren't currently subscribed to). That's my personal favorite way to navigate the trp.red side of the site, as the "what's hot" feed also shows posts and comments from forums.red, and I prefer to keep my feeds separate.
