The rules of OLD

Hey all
Was chatting to a newly single friend today about how, roughly 4 years ago, I'd been on a fabulous and supportive series of threads about online dating which started each new incarnation with a list of the rules. These rules were frequently updated (I think there were about 13 in 2019/2020) and included such things as 'try and make a face to face first date within a week of chatting'.

I cannot remember very many of the other rules, but I remember using nearly all of them at the time and they were super helpful. Can anybody find any of the original threads or help me reconstitute the list? Was there one about having a phone or video call early on?

Thanks!
