How members are expected to argue
This movement makes a policy argument. The moment it becomes an argument about people, it stops being useful and starts being dangerous.
01 · Never target a community
No naming, characterising, mocking or generalising about any caste, religion, region or community. This applies to submissions, comments, chapter sessions and anything posted under our name.
02 · Never target a person
Do not name individual appointees, candidates or officials in a submission. Institutional conduct is fair comment; a named private individual is not.
03 · Cite, or do not claim
Every factual assertion made in our name carries a source. If you cannot source it, present it as an opinion and label it as one.
04 · Correct in public
When you are wrong, say so on the same page where you were wrong. Members who catch our errors are credited by name if they want to be.
05 · Consequences
A first breach means the content is removed and you are told why. A second means posting rights are suspended. Targeting a community is a single-strike matter.
