Take a look at the entire set of rules here:

An individual wrote, "What is tolerated continues."

X user Tarun Lochib added, "Which college is this? These types of cases happen only where people don't retaliate; even in my college, seniors tried to claim their dominance, but we never allowed it. Everyone has their self-respect. It doesn't matter if one is fresher or a graduate student."

A third commented, "These rules are absolutely ridiculous."

"This mostly happens in hostels. When I was in 1st year of college, hostel seniors gave us a list of 16-17 rules, which was very similar to the image here. On top of that, we would be slapped if we failed to recall these rules. Luckily, was able to leave the hostel in 2nd sem itself," posted user Trishal Arora.
