Treat others with kindness and respect.

Even when someone is rude or disrespectful it is not a reason to reply in kind.

Absolutely no personal attacks.

It's totally fine to disagree on technical aspects, aesthetics, etc. But don't let it cross over into insulting someone or conflating it with someone's character. Similarly, if someone disagrees with your opinions or doesn't like your build, don't assume that is an attack on your character. Disagreement is allowed. Personal attacks are not.

Respect the privacy of others.

Don't post personal information about other users.

Respect the intellectual property of others.

Don't post material that infringes on another's copyright. Don't post links to infringing material on other sites. Note: This includes any avatar that you may choose to use.
