- Do not post offensive or inappropriate content, including but not limited to hate speech, spam, or spammy links.
- Do not harass or bully other members.
- Use caution when sharing personal or sensitive information about yourself or others. Remember that information shared online can be accessed by a wide audience and may remain online indefinitely. Consider the potential risks and consequences before sharing personal or sensitive information.
