RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Do you sit and lounge in bed very often? If you do then I'd vote cloth.
Also is your room small enough that you really need the added space of the clear system? It is a really cool concept, i just don't know how practical it would be.
That's fair. It isn't a small room, for sure. I just like to be able to have clean floors.
And I suppose I really don't lounge in bed often. Hmmm good point
I lean towards cloth if it's a big room. You could have lamps and stuff on a end table. I am a bed lounger though, so that might be biasing me towards cloth lol.
I also tend to put my legs and feet on the walls, so I would be worried about knocking down stuff on the slatted headboard. Though I did see in another comment that you have cats so the slatted headboard could be a cool way of building them a little cat tree/space to lounge
I had bedbugs. God knows where they could burrow in cloth. Also please treat yourself to a bedbug proof mattress cover.
Do you have cats?
I do. And they're pretty good at not clawing stuff up, so I'm not too worried
Another thing to consider is the accumulation of cat hair on the cloth headboard. If you have mild cat allergies you may find you start waking up feeling stuffy.
Fair enough
I have an all metal fram with soopy leaf type of stylizing sorta like a metal fence. whats really nice is if you are injured or such it almost acts like handicap bars. Its like you can grab all over the place to pull yourself up or brace yourself.
