Hello, I'm Alex. I will go over a few things before you continue on my profile.

Please do not post "+rep" in my comments, as I do not support this system. I will delete such comments, and if you continue, I will block you. Also, don't post hate speech, sexual, anti-LGBT, racist, sexist, Russophobic, and Sinophobic. They will also be removed, and users posting them will be blocked. These rules also apply to friend requests.

If you want to add me as a friend, please explain why in the comments before adding me. Otherwise, I'll ignore the request. Similarly, don't add me solely to use me as your personal help line, or if you have no real intention of actually messaging or speaking to me. On top of that, I won't add any private profiles or friend collectors.

But I do enjoy making friends and having conversations, so please feel free to reach out, as long as you follow all the rules, of course. If I'm not able to reply immediately, it's either because I'm not feeling well enough to respond or I'm very busy. Please don't take it personally; I haven't forgotten about you, nor am I ignoring you.

(Though I can be shy to send the first message.)
