Community Guidelines

Global Guidelines
  1. Show courtesy and respect to all
    In your interactions with others on the site, please show courtesy and respect. It's okay to disagree on something, but disagreements should happen in a civil and cordial manner. Insults, talking down to others, personal attacks, and harassment will not be tolerated.
  2. Use proper English
    We request that members use proper English on Kinmunity. This includes making a best-effort attempt to spell properly and observe the rules of grammar. While we do not expect our users to have a degree in English literature, excessive "chat speak" is not permitted.
  3. Keep it audience appropriate
    The majority of Kinmunity is accessible to all users over the age of thirteen. Except in designated areas, please keep content suitable for members aged thirteen and above.
  4. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence
    Unless you have evidence to back them up, please refrain from making grandiose or outrageous claims on Kinmunity. This includes claiming to have the ability to physically shift, or claims of special “powers.“ Making such claims does nothing but harm your credibility in the community; nobody thinks you're special or cool by making them.
  5. Be honest with others and yourself
    Honesty and integrity are highly valued on Kinmunity, Please be yourself and don't falsify any information about you. It is better to not provide information than it is to lie about it.
  6. Listen to the direction of our staff
    Please follow the direction of our staff members at all times. If a staff member requests that you do something, their request holds as much weight as these terms and rules do. If you feel a staff member is acting inappropriately, contact a member of the administration team. If another member violates these rules, please use the “report“ function to report the offending content or member. Do not try to handle the issue yourself, that's what our staff are here for.
  7. Absolutely no proselytizing
    That isn't what we're about. You can discuss spirituality or religion in the proper areas, but you cannot attempt to convert others to your spirituality or religion.
  8. No data mining
    Do not, via manual or automated means, collect large amounts of data including but not limited to: forum posts, blog entries, articles, media, chat logs, or other user-created content for the purposes of aggregating, mirroring, re-publishing, or storing off-site. You are also forbidden to reproduce content found in secure sections of the site (protected by username & password) without permission from the Kinmunity administration team and the content's author.
  9. We don't accept blacklists
    Kinmunity does not make use of nor enforce any blacklist, content warning list, or trigger list. Instead, we expect our users to use the tools available to them to filter out content they don't desire to see.
  10. Don't spam or advertise
    Kinmunity is not an appropriate venue to spam or advertise; it just annoys others. Besides, we report spammers we catch to external security services, like StopForumSpam, so it isn't worth it.
  11. Have fun
    Seriously, that's the reason you joined the community - isn't it? Jokes aside, this is a real rule. Don't go looking around for negativity and conflict. Enjoy your time here.

Reaction Guidelines
  1. React to content, not users
    You have probably noticed that the reaction system is available for various content on Kinmunity, but not for user profiles. This is intentional. The purpose of our reaction system is to react to, and essentially rate, the quality of content available on Kinmunity. It is not intended to be used to harass other users, or negative react people you disagree with.
  2. Don't solicit reactions
    Don't ask for people to "like", "love", or otherwise up-vote or down-vote your post for any reason. Do not use the rating system as a polling system, we have an actual poll feature for that.
  3. Retaliation is not tolerated
    If you've been given a rating you disagree with on a particular piece of content you posted, do not act in an abusive matter to the person who gave it to you. Instead, contact a staff member if it violates our Terms & Rules or Community Guidelines.

  3. Search before you post
    Before posting a thread, please search the forums to see if somebody else has already submitted a thread regarding the topic you wish to discuss. If a thread exists, consider posting in it instead of starting a new one.

    Please do not use all caps, multiple exclamation marks, or excessive formatting (bold, italics, colors, etc.) in your posts. It's considered rude and makes them hard to read.
  6. Don't double-post, don't cross-post
    Double-posting and Cross-posting unfairly increases post counts and bones; don't do it! Double-posting is the act of posting two messages back-to-back.

Cross-posting is the act of posting the same thread in different forums on the site.
