Contribute in good faith
- Share genuine experience, observation, analysis, or questions—not engagement bait or manufactured consensus.
- Disagree with ideas without degrading people. Context, correction, and intellectual honesty matter more than winning.
- Use your chosen identity honestly and do not imply that your organisation approves your personal views.
- Disclose relevant interests when they could materially affect how readers understand a contribution.
Respect safety and dignity
- No harassment, threats, stalking, dehumanisation, hateful conduct, or celebration of harm.
- No sexual exploitation, graphic violence intended to shock, encouragement of self-harm, or instructions facilitating serious wrongdoing.
- Do not publish another person's private contact, identity, workplace, health, financial, or location information without a legitimate basis and appropriate permission.
- Do not impersonate people or organisations, manipulate evidence, or knowingly spread dangerous deception.
Protect the conversation
- No spam, repetitive posting, artificial amplification, undisclosed automation, credential sharing, or attempts to bypass screening.
- Respect copyright, confidentiality, professional duties, court orders, and applicable law.
- Do not use member information for unsolicited outreach, recruiting lists, lead generation, advertising, or external profiling.
Reports and decisions
Members can report a post or reply privately. Reports do not automatically remove content and the author is not shown the reporter's identity. A human moderator reviews the context and records the decision.
Enforcement considers severity, context, intent, history, and risk. Possible outcomes include no action, rejection before publication, removal, or a human-controlled account restriction. Eligible restrictions include a member-visible reason and one appeal path.
When in doubt
Pause before posting confidential or identifying material. Describe systems and experiences without exposing people unnecessarily. If a contribution also promotes something, follow the stricter Marketing-Content Policy.
