No harassment.

Argue with what someone said, not with who they are. No insults, no pile-ons, no following someone across threads. If you are told to drop something, drop it.

No doxxing or personal data.

Do not post anyone's address, workplace, phone number, documents, family details or photographs without their agreement. This applies to people who are not here to object, including people you are arguing about.

No calls to violence.

No threats, no calls for harm against any person or group, no celebrating violence done to anyone.

No ethnic, national or religious hatred.

Criticising a government is fine. Attacking people for their nationality, ethnicity, religion or language is not, in any direction — this includes Russians, Ukrainians, Americans, Europeans and everyone else.

No collective guilt.

No "Russians are…", no "Westerners are…", no holding an individual responsible for what a state did. Talk about specific people, specific decisions and specific evidence.

Claims need something behind them.

If you state a fact — a number, a rule, a law, an event — be ready to say where it came from. "Someone told me" is a fine answer; presenting it as established is not. Nobody is required to prove an opinion, only a claim of fact.

Practical advice is shared experience, not a guarantee.

If you tell someone how a visa, a bank, a landlord or a border worked for you, say when it happened and what passport you hold. Rules differ by nationality and change often. Do not tell anyone what is legal for them.

Moderation and appeals.

One person reads submissions and moderates: Vlad Lario. Nothing publishes automatically. First problem usually means a note asking you to change something; repeated or serious breaches mean removal. If something of yours is removed or not published, reply to the notice and ask — you will get a reason and a chance to respond.
