The Site-wide rules are in effect.

This means a few things.
1) No dox.Do not drop the personal information of private individuals (name, address, place of employment, etc.)
2) No trolling or weening attempts (you won't be funny; just banned)
3) Posts should be on topic to the subject (if you have nothing to add to the current discussion, start a new one or hold your thoughts)
4) Be Civil to your fellow community members. Try not to start flame wars (be frank and honest, but if someone has brought you to the point of insult it is time to back away from discussion)
5) Do not divulge personal information. It's best to stay anonymous (Some people are creepy enough to keep entire dossiers on other people to use when their feelings are hurt. don't fill someone's binder for them)
6) When possible/necessary, archive your links. Archive.is will do this. Tweetsave.com will save tweets.

Politics Specific Rules:
1) Know the context of your content. Do not introduce material without or out of context.
2) Do not turn discussion in a thread into a political debate.
3) Post apropriate conent for the thread.
4) Don't make the thread about you. Making yourself the center of attention will eventually turn you into a cow yourself.
