Keep It Clean and Respectful
This forum is a public place where people need to feel comfortable to share ideas and discuss topics. Please always be respectful even if you may disagree with what is posted. Refrain from using any profanity or disrespectful comments. Any bad behaviour will not be tolerated and the moderator reserves the right for removal.
Keep Improving
Always think before posting. Think about whether my input will improve upon the discussion and add to it.
We are here on the forum because of the quality of the content. If you disagree with what someone has written always be respectful even if you disagree.
One way to improve the discussion is by discovering ones that are already happening. Please take some time browsing what has already been discussed before starting your own.
Always Respect Another Opinion Even If You Disagree
You may want to respond to something you disagree with. Remember its Ok to desagree with a thought. However, never attack the person. For example:
- Name-calling.
- Ad hominem attacks.
- Responding to a post’s tone instead of its actual content.
- Knee-jerk contradiction.
Instead, present your reasonable arguments respectfully.
Your Input Matters
Your input is what keeps the discussions relevant and interesting. Give thought as to what you will post and keep the discussions interesting.

Flag Questionable Content
You can help the moderators keep the forum clean. Please identify any bad behavior.
If you run into bad behaviour don’t respond to it, just flag it. If there is enough flags the moderator will step in.
The moderators don’t preview material in any way. However if there is a problem the moderators reserve the right to take action such as by removing the poster.

Keep The Forum Organized
Try your best to place your topics under the right category:
- Don’t start a topic in the wrong category.
- Don’t cross-post the same thing in multiple topics.
- Don’t post replies that have no content.
- Don’t change a topic and divert it.
Rather than posting that you agree use the Like button. Do not take an existing topic in a radically different direction, use Reply as a Linked Topic.
