1. Respect & Civil Conduct

• No Harassment or Bullying: Treat all members with respect. Personal attacks, name-calling, trolling, intimidation, and hate speech based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or nationality will not be tolerated.
• Constructive Disagreement: Disagreements are natural, but debate the idea, not the person. Keep discussions civil and avoid escalating conflicts.

2. Content & Posting Standards

• Stay On-Topic: Post threads in the relevant category and keep replies focused on the original subject.
• No Spam or Excessive Self-Promotion: Unsolicited marketing, affiliate link spam, repetitive posts, and unauthorized advertising are strictly prohibited. Share personal projects only in designated self-promotion areas.
• NSFW & Sensitive Content: Explicit, sexually suggestive, excessively graphic, or violent content is not permitted.

3. Privacy & Legal Compliance

• Protect Personal Information (No Doxxing): Never share personal, identifiable information (addresses, phone numbers, real names, private messages) belonging to yourself or others without explicit consent.
• Respect Intellectual Property: Only post content, media, or code you have the right to share. Always credit original creators when referencing third-party work.
• No Illegal Content: Discussions or links facilitating illegal activities, piracy, malware, or illicit substances are banned immediately.

4. Enforcement & Reporting

• Report Violations: Use the built-in report feature or contact a moderator directly to flag rule-breaking content instead of engaging with violators.
• Moderator Discretion: Moderation decisions are made to maintain a safe, welcoming environment. Actions follow a tiered system: Warning → Temporary Suspension → Permanent Ban, depending on the severity of the infraction.
