Help people move forward

Be constructive

Criticism should explain the problem and help identify a path forward.

Respect different experience levels

Questions that seem basic to one person may be the exact barrier another person needs help crossing.

Protect people and their information

Do not share private information, promote scams, encourage harassment, or exploit community members.

Keep promotion relevant

Sharing work is welcome when it helps the discussion. Repeated, unrelated, or deceptive promotion is not.

Disclose important relationships

Be honest about sponsorships, affiliate links, ownership, partnerships, and conflicts of interest.
