Bunker Talk guidelines
- Political discussion is welcome, but keep it civil and understand others may disagree.
- Debate ideas with facts, avoid name-calling or personal attacks. If that is difficult, choose another topic.
- No drive-by memes, conspiracy rants, or links to unreliable sources. Trolling and disruptive posting are not permitted. If you clash with someone, do not engage.
- Do not feed trolls. Use mute tools if needed.
- Add value, treat people with respect, and recognize that moderation is imperfect. If you cannot do that, it is best to move on.
- Report clear violations. Do not flag people simply for differing views, but do alert us to genuine problems.
Thanks for helping keep the conversation focused and constructive. Enjoy the thread.
