Things you should do
- Welcome new users to the site. If you see the account has been here for 1-30 days. Message them and make them feel welcome. It may add more members to our community
- Make friends and connections to each other that you do not know. We do not want the site to become a circle jerk.
- Respect disabled people on the site. Do not make fun of autistic, down syndrome, PTSD or any other people with something they were born or effected by. It is very disrespectful and we will not tolerate it.
- When debating use respectful comments and do use emotional intelligence too. You hurt us and the whole community when you can't control your emotions.
- Forgive one another. If a mistake happens don't clench your fist into a ball. Forgive and forget, unclench that fist and peace is restored to you.
