COMMUNITY GUIDELINES

KEEP IT CIVIL

These discussions often entail topics that we all personally care a lot about and will passionately defend. But in order for discussions to thrive here, we need to remember to criticize ideas, not people. 

Personal attacks and harassment will not be tolerated. Sexist, racist, homophobic, and broad, offensive generalizations about groups of people are not allowed. Comments or discussions written intentionally to provoke will also be removed.

So, remember to avoid:

• name-calling
• ad hominem attacks
• Responding to a post’s tone instead of its actual content.
• knee-jerk reactions

Simply put, observe The Golden Rule: treat others the way you’d like to be treated.  Always strive to add value to every interaction and discussion you participate in.

STAY ON-TOPIC

Help make moderators’ lives easier by taking a moment to ensure your topic matches the general theme of the channel.  That means:

• don’t post off-topic comments or discussions
• don’t cross-post the same thing multiple times
• check if another active discussion on your topic has already been posted

IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING

Moderators are at the forefront of combatting spam, mediating disputes and enforcing community guidelines and, so are you. 

Currently, the forum and commenting system doesn't support flagging posts or user profiles, so if you see an issue, contact the moderators for resolution.
