More rules may come as the community grows, but for now, I'll remove spam or anything obviously mean-spirited, and leave it at that.

This is hilarious, I use cast iron daily, all those people who are finicky about it and think it's something that can't handle soap and water are just buying into the bullshit.
I literally do nothing but cook in mine and then clean it with a paper towel after use, if it needs some dawn and water to get off stuck bits of food...do that too.
Seasoning? Cook bacon in it, and stop using special tools use hard steel spatula and don't be gentle.
All of my CI is like glass. It's a tough rugged piece of cook ware that was born out of needing to be rough and rugged. Stop treating it like a non-stick pan. Just use the damn thing
