1. Respect other members and treat them fairly. I will not slander, libel, or otherwise attack other members. I will accept and offer constructive criticism graciously.
2. Always represent yourself honestly. Profile names are allowed, but deliberate impersonation of others is a breach of social network etiquette and a really bad idea.
3. Protect yourself from scammers. Rule of Thumb: If it seems too good to be true it’s probably false. Do not give your personal contact information to anyone unless you are absolutely certain of that person’s motives and integrity.
4. Recognize that differences of opinion are essential to debate and promote diversity. I will disagree respectfully and will not personalize any differences.
5. Message other members responsibly. I will not engage in spamming in any form, or hateful, threatening, or obscene messaging.
6. Make every effort to keep the community engaged in interesting content and informed debate. I will not contribute content that is overtly commercial, or in any other way degrades or compromises the integrity of the community. You are welcome to include links to other websites, information about business endeavors, products, and services on your profile page but such links and information are prohibited in blog posts or Forum discussions.
7. If you moderate a group please consider it your responsibility to manage content and activity within that group. If necessary you can close a discussion, delete content, and remove a member from the group.
