Community Guidelines

Participate with context and respect.

These are plain-language behavior expectations. Formal prohibited-use rules remain in the Acceptable Use Policy.

Respect people

Do not use participation to harass, threaten, or target other people.

Respect context boundaries

Public, private, and professional contexts should not be manipulated to expose participation outside its intended boundary.

Do not deceive

Do not impersonate people, manipulate identity, or use spam and deceptive behavior to distort participation.

Follow community rules

Communities can set additional expectations for members, moderators, and leaders.

Report harmful behavior

Use reporting and grievance paths when conduct needs review rather than escalating harm inside the community.
