About Us & Rules
🍵 About Tea Served Hot
Pull up a chair and get comfortable. Tea Served Hot was created as a space for real talk, thoughtful discussion, and bold perspectives.
This forum started with a simple idea. The best conversations are not watered down or filtered to please everyone. They are honest, personal, and sometimes messy. That is what you will find here. Whether you are discussing celebrity news, sharing a personal moment, or diving into culture and current events, this is your place to speak freely and sip deeply.
The name comes from what we do best. We serve the tea hot, and we keep it real. No fluff. No fakery. Just Sippers bringing their thoughts to the table.
We are not a fan forum. We are not a gossip blog. We are a growing community of people who want a place to talk, connect, and exchange ideas without being censored for thinking differently.
Whether you are a loud voice or a quiet reader, there is space for you here.
And once you are here, you are a Sipper.
🍯 Tea Served Hot: Sipper Accountability System
Even the best brews need balance. To keep this space thoughtful and welcoming, we use a point-based system for Sippers who stir the pot the wrong way.
Think of it as a reminder to keep your pour clean.
🍋 What Are Infraction Points?
Points are given when a post crosses the line. Most points cool off after a set time. But if things keep bubbling, your account might be put on pause, or your cup might be pulled altogether.

☕ Notes to Sippers
- Most warnings come with a gentle message. It's not personal, it’s preservation.
- Some offenses get edited or removed quietly. Others call for points.
- If you have questions, use the Help & Support forum instead of challenging moderators in public threads.
- Trying to work around the rules by being clever still counts as a violation.
💬 Final Sip
Every community needs boundaries to keep the flavor right. The Sipper Accountability System helps us protect the pour without shutting people down for having strong opinions.
Keep your tea honest. Keep your tone sharp, not bitter.
And remember, once it’s spilled, it’s out there.
