This is a work in progress since I’ve never created my own community nor moderated one. Bare with me, but the goal is to create a reference community for data and sources. All logic all the time. While I get this built and you’d like to post something that seems on brand, then go right ahead. However, here are some starter rules

No NSFW
No bigotry (this is a coverall. I’m a stickler for phrasing, so choose your words carefully).
Debate, don’t debase
It’s another person on the other side of the screen. Golden Rule applies
No bias unless it is part of the data and you remain neutral in any description you create.
Citations are required.
No insults (back-handed or otherwise).
Curse/cuss/swear all you want, BUT curse to people. Not at them.
Trolling, brigading, targeting, harassment will not be tolerated. ZERO tolerance
None of us are perfect, so if your argument in a certain case comes to nothing, admit that. You’ll get more respect and appreciation for learning something rather than rage quitting a discussion
It’s only me on the mod team so far, so please use best judgement to report things. That way, I can respond to the issues in a timely fashion
