Be human
Disagree with ideas without attacking people. Do not harass, threaten, shame, stalk, dox, or encourage others to target a person.
Keep it lawful and safe
Do not post illegal material, credible threats, instructions intended to cause harm, malware, private information, or content that exploits or endangers minors.
No hate or dehumanization
Do not attack or dehumanize people based on protected characteristics. Satire and discussion are welcome; targeted abuse is not.
Do not manipulate participation
Do not use duplicate accounts, bots, coordinated behavior, or technical workarounds to manipulate comments, reactions, merchandise votes, reports, or rankings.
Respect ownership and privacy
Post only content you have the right to share. Do not publish someone else’s personal information or private communications without permission.
Keep profiles honest
Do not impersonate people or organizations. Administrators may require removal or revision of profile material before restoring access.
Reporting and moderation
Members can report a comment or public profile with an explanation. Reported content is hidden pending review. Moderators may restore content reported in error or remove content that violates these Guidelines. Users are notified when a final decision is made. Final moderation decisions do not have an internal appeal process.
Account consequences
Repeated or serious violations can result in a 24-hour, 7-day, 30-day, or 90-day suspension or a permanent ban. Suspended and banned accounts may retain read-only access and subscription controls but cannot comment, react, vote, or modify public profiles. Access can be restored early when an authorized administrator documents the reason. An expired suspension remains restricted if required profile changes are incomplete.
