Additionally, comments that are long, have multiple paragraph breaks, include code, or include hyperlinks may not be posted.

Be Civil. We reserve the right to remove comments that are: libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, abusive, harassing, or threatening. We may also remove posts that may violate any applicable laws, including but not limited to copyright, trademark, or patent rights, or anything we deem might contravene local or federal laws.

Be Safe. Do not post personal information about yourself or others.

Be Real. We ask that users use their real names to create an honest and accountable community. We reserve the right to remove access from users who fail to comply with this policy.
