Contribute with substance
- Share ideas, questions, stories, and answers that add context rather than manufacture attention.
- Represent your experience honestly and distinguish personal perspective from professional guarantees.
- Give authors credit and do not publish private conversations or personal information without permission.
Disagree without dehumanizing
Critique ideas directly. Harassment, threats, hate, targeted humiliation, impersonation, scams, sexual exploitation, and coordinated abuse have no place in a community built for understanding.
Financial, medical, legal, employment, and technical discussions must not be presented as guaranteed outcomes or used to manipulate people into unsafe decisions.
Respect every boundary
- Public participation is not romantic or private-contact consent.
- A decline, block, report, or unavailable route is not an invitation to try another channel.
- Payment, visibility, and community status never create permission or guarantee a response.
- Do not infer or expose sensitive identity, location, orientation, or dating eligibility.
Enforcement boundary
A public release needs consistent reporting, review, appeal, evidence-retention, and urgent-safety procedures. These guidelines state the intended standard; they do not claim that a production moderation service is already operating.
