  • Be wary of suspicious links or requests

Respect Others:

  • Don't share others' personal information
  • Ask permission before sharing photos of identifiable people

Sharing accurate information helps our community make informed decisions. Please verify information before sharing.

  • Clearly label opinions as opinions
  • Correct mistakes when pointed out
  • Don't spread rumors or unverified claims

Deliberate spread of misinformation may result in content removal or account action.
