This privacy policy applies only to our online activities and is valid for visitors to our website and regarding information shared and/or collected there. This policy does not apply to any information we collected offline or via channels other than this website.

10. Community Guidelines

We’ve put together a set of universal guidelines that we believe the community can benefit from and moderators can adopt. Our goal is to ensure that this set of guidelines are easy to understand and widely applicable to any community on Disqus. It’s not meant to be comprehensive, rather focusing on the most commonly shared principles we believe are critical for setting a foundation in a community to enable it to thrive.

Keep it civil [Don’t be a jerk]

We’re going to get into the thick of a lot of heated discussions and that’s okay. These discussions often entail topics that we all personally care a lot about and will passionately defend. But for discussions to thrive here, we need to remember to criticize ideas, not people.

• So, remember to avoid:
• Name-calling
• Responding to a post’s tone instead of its actual content.
• knee-jerk contradiction

Comments that we find to be hateful, inflammatory, or harassing may be removed. If you don’t have something nice to say about another user, don’t say it. Treat others the way you’d like to be treated.

There are a lot of discussions that happen every day on Disqus. Before joining in a discussion, browse through some of the most recent and active discussions happening in the community, especially if you’re new there.

If you are not sure your post adds to the conversation, think over what you want to say and try again later.

Always strive to add value to every interaction and discussion you participate in.

Keep it tidy

Help make moderators’ lives easier by taking a moment to ensure that what you’re about to post is in the right place. That means:

Explore the page to find the appropriate channel for your topic don’t cross-post the same thing multiple times review any specific posting guidelines for the community: some communities such as a movie community may have specific rules regarding spoilers.
Check if another active discussion on your topic has already been posted

If you see something, say something
Moderators are at the forefront of combatting spam, mediating disputes, and enforcing community guidelines and, so are you?

If you see an issue, contact the moderators if possible or flag any comments for review. If you believe someone has violated the Basic Rules, report it to Disqus by flagging the user’s profile.

Looking for the old Channel Rules?

• Stay On-topic
• No Self-promotion

A discussion or comment that contains only a link to your blog, a product, or your article on another site will almost always be removed.

Choose Your (Curse) Words Wisely

Comments that contain profanity are automatically held for moderator review before being posted. Depending on the context of the comment, it may be removed. Profanity used to insult, antagonize, or inflame will always be removed.

Don’t Be a Jerk

Personal attacks and harassment will not be tolerated. Sexist, racist, misogynist, homophobic, and broad, offensive generalization’s about groups of people are simply not allowed. Comments or discussions written intentionally to provoke will also be removed.

English Only

We currently only support English-only discussions on Disqus channels. Non-English comments and discussions will be removed.

11. Changes To This Privacy Policy

We will update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices and service offerings. If we modify our Privacy Policy, we will update the “Last Modified Date” at the top of this Privacy Policy and such changes will be effective upon posting.
