How did you find PF?

I found PF with google gemini.

I was exploring the concept of 1/0 as a number with google gemini when I decided to share my concept with other people who might find out things about it that I missed. I tried a few websites, but this one seemed best.

Welcome to PF.

Please be sure to read the PF Rules (see INFO at the top of the page). We do not allow personal speculation or discussing unpublished work here. We discuss mainstream science as published in the scientific literature (peer-reviewed journals and mainstream textbooks).

I read the PF rules right after I finished making this thread because I saw my other thread was taken down. I didn't know there were such strict rules until now, and to be honest, I don't understand why some are there. I came here because it didn't seem to have very strict rules, but I was wrong. I'm not allowed on sites like reddit, so I'm not sure what I can do.

Also, why have bold if I'm not allowed to use it?

I just had an idea. There could be a "mathematical speculation" area on PF.

Physics Forums in the past attempted to host topics that allowed speculation and personal theories.
Those attempts failed.

About PF’s Policy on Speculative Discussions

• Why doesn't Physics Forums allow people to post "new theories" and other speculative ideas, or try to disprove well-established theories like relativity?
  
  We believe such discussions detract from our mission of helping people who want to understand science as practiced by professional scientists, as described in our Global Guidelines. We have chosen to focus on these people, rather than on those who want freewheeling speculation. There are other places on the internet that cater to such speculation.

I think you must mean this part of the rules:

Fonts:
When posting a new topic do not use the CAPS lock (all-CAPS), bold, oversized, non-standard, or brightly colored fonts, or any combination thereof. They are hard to read and are considered yelling. When replying to an existing topic it is fine to use CAPS or bold to highlight main points.

In that context, it just means don't post in all bold font, since that is distracting and overly aggressive. Certainly you can use bold font for a word or two (like I just did) for emphasis.
