Boing Boing BBS Community guidelines. Contact @orenwolf or any Moderator for assistance with any of these.
-
Be cool. Don’t post or encourage insulting, bullying, victim-blaming, racist, sexist, violent, or homophobic remarks.
-
Do not make assumptions as to anyone’s mental state, race, gender, ethnicity, religious beliefs, group affiliation or sexual orientation without corroboration.
-
Stunt accounts and throwaways may live, but sock puppets, astroturfers and spammers will die.
-
Stay on topic. Don’t hijack threads, repeat yourself, post walls of text, or generic talking points.
-
Constructive criticism is welcome. Hostile, whining hand-wringers will be eaten.
-
Assume good faith and like the good. However, flag the bad, and avoid contentless comments.
-
Don’t post e-mail addresses, phone numbers, home addresses, URL-shortened links that obscure the target, porn, or gore.
-
We politely insist you do not post stuff you do not have the right to post.
-
We have the right to delete an account or content at any time for any reason. Remember to export your data right after making dodgy comments.
-
Enforcement may be lax or draconian as befits the whims of the Entity. The rude will be eaten first.
-
Rules lawyering will fail. Be sure to read our exciting Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
