Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- 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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I hate the term "pseudo-science". Call it what it is: quackery.
I was under the impression that quackery was specific to medicine.
I think you're right and that is how the word is most often used, but at least merriam-webster gives a broader definition, as the "practices or pretensions of a quack", which it then says is the same as a charlatan, so I guess it would be acceptable. I'm not a native speaker, however... :)
