We don’t have too many do’s and don’t’s here, but I would ask everyone in this discussion community to read and abide by the following rules, please.

THE DOG HOUSE RULES:

1. Please respect the mods and their decisions at all times. They put in long hours and a lot of behind-the-scenes work, so you may have an enjoyable experience here.

2. NO political, religious or controversial commenting, please. This is a general chat site; we try to keep things lighthearted and positive here. Please keep anything else on other sites where it belongs.

3. Everyone has their own opinion on aspects of life. No one is expected to share everyone else's views on any subject, but I ask that you respect your differences. They are what make us individuals and this world a more interesting place. Courtesy and mutual respect cost nothing.

4. To protect this community from harassment by trolls, downvotes are disabled here, and the site currently runs on pre-moderation, meaning all comments made by new accounts will be placed in pending until they can be reviewed by a mod and approved if appropriate. This will be done as soon as possible, but there may be some delays at times.

5. Bullying, stalking, or harassment in any shape or form will not be tolerated on this website, and any person entering here intending to abuse another person in any way will be instantly banned. Multiple identity users using new accounts in an attempt to circumvent an existing ban will be banned instantly without warning.

6. The posting of images (personally owned ones or ones from the Internet), music and other videos from YouTube, Vimeo, etc., and links are permitted.

7. Comments containing inappropriate content will be removed. We endeavour to keep this a fun and friendly place, so inappropriate content in any shape or form - either contained in memes, videos, links, or typed text - will be removed, but generally, a polite warning will be given before any further moderation, such as a timeout or ban, takes place. Commenters will not receive a warning in cases of posting spam comments or in cases where it is blatantly apparent that they are posting here for the sole purpose of harassing other posters and causing problems. 

8. Please do not discuss other Disqus users here in a negative way, whether they comment here or not. Such comments will be removed, and other action may be taken if the behaviour is repeated after warning.

9. Please don’t drag cross-site drama here. Keep it where it belongs.

So, for the sake of harmony on this site, please keep everything friendly and fun.

Thank you!
