Be Respectful:
Disagreements and differences of opinion will arise, but they are not an excuse for disrespecting others or their beliefs. All members of the community should feel respected and safe.
This includes refraining from using someone else’s image, name, or likeness without their explicit consent and avoiding threats of violence, discriminatory language, personal insults, or any form of harassment.

Threats of violence
Discriminatory jokes and language

Do Not Spam:
Mass messaging users, asking for upvotes, using bots, incentivizing upvotes, and any other form of artificially increasing activity on your contribution is not acceptable. Self-promoting in comments will also be removed. Only genuine activity will be accepted on the site.
Attempting to "game" our systems may result in the removal of your contribution(s) and the loss of contribution access.
