Below you may find Dumbledore's Great List of Do's and Dont's. Heed the advice of the wise magician:
- Don't harass other members
Don't insult fellow members or post inflammatory content to otherwise entice others. If you have a problem with someone else, simply agree to disagree or take your dispute with them elsewhere. This includes slandering of other persons and communities.
- Don't disclose any overtly personally identifiable information about yourself or others
This is not a social network. Please abstain from disclosing too much personally identifiable information about yourself, or others. We have zero tolerance for doxing!
