Code of conduct

This is a Civilized Place for Public Discussion.

Please address yourself in this forum with the same respect you would in a public park. We are also a community resource — a place to share skills, knowledge and interests through open communication.

These are not hard or rigid rules, basically it is an aid to apply our common sense. Let’s use these guidelines to keep this forum a clean and open place for public and educated debate.

Improve Discussion

Help us make this a great place for discussion by always contributing something, no matter how small. If you’re not sure if what you’re going to say benefits the conversation, think again and try again later.

All of the topics discussed here are important to us, and we want them to be important to you as well. Be respectful of all discussions and the people involved in them, even if you don’t agree with what is said.

One way to improve discussions is to review the ones that are going on right now. Please take some time to inspect the topics that have already been discussed before responding or starting a new discussion, so you will have a better chance of meeting others who share your interests.

Be Kind, Even When You Don’t Agree.

Maybe you’d like to respond in disagreement to something that was said. That’s fine. But remember to criticize ideas, not people. Please avoid the following:

  • Insults.

  • Personal attacks.

  • Responses in reference to the tone of a post rather than the content of the post.

  • Impulsive contradictions.

Instead, provide reasonable counter-arguments that benefit the conversation.

Your Participation Counts

The conversations we have here will set a tone. Help us influence the future of this community by choosing to participate in the discussions that make this forum more interesting, and avoid those that do not.

The forum offers us tools that will allow the community to collectively identify the best (and worst) contributions: favorites, bookmarks, likes, flags, reply, edit and more. Use these tools to improve your own experience as well as that of others.

Let’s try to make our park look even better than when we found it.

If You See a Problem, add a flag

Moderators have special authority; they are responsible for this forum… But so do you. With your help, moderators can do the job of community facilitators and not just cleanup or policing.

When you see bad behavior, don’t respond. Bad behavior is encouraged by acknowledging it, consumes energy, and wastes everyone’s time. Just add a mark. If you accumulate enough marks, action will be taken, either automatically or by moderator intervention.

To maintain order in our community, moderators reserve the right to remove any content and user for any reason they deem fit at any time. The moderators do not pre-review the messages that are written; therefore neither they nor the site operators are responsible for any content posted in the community.

Be Polite, Always

Nothing sabotages a healthy conversation like being rude:

  • Be polite: Don’t post anything that a reasonable person would find offensive, abusive or violent.

  • Be clear: Don’t post anything obscene or sexually explicit.

  • Respect others: Don’t harass or embarrass others; don’t impersonate someone else or post their private information.

  • Respect the forum: Don’t distribute spam or otherwise ruin the forum.

These are not rules with exact definitions — avoid even anything that might approximate these terms.

If you are unsure, ask yourself how you would feel if your post appeared on the front page of the New York Times.

This is a public forum, and when queries are made on any search engine, discussions posted here are also reviewed. Keep language, links and images appropriate for all family and friends.

Be Ordered

Make an effort to keep things in place so we can spend more time talking and less time tidying up.

  • Do not start a discussion topic in the wrong category.

  • Don’t post the same thing in different threads.

  • Do not post replies without content.

  • Don’t deviate from the course of a conversation by changing the subject.

  • Do not sign your posts — all comments include your profile information.

Instead of typing “+1” or “Agree”, use the Like button. Instead of taking a conversation in a completely different direction, use Reply with a New Topic.

Share Only Yours.

You may not post any digital material that belongs to someone else without their permission. You also may not share descriptions, links or methods to steal someone else’s intellectual property (software, videos, audio, images), or to otherwise violate the law.
