Este es un lugar civilizado para la discusión pública

Debes tratar a tus Kamaradas con respeto, sentido común y manteniendo un discurso civilizado. Tal y como tratarías a un chico en un parque. Igual te trataremos nosotros, sin importar tu nivel de conocimiento, nuestro respeto estará primero y, sobre todo, nuestras ganas de ayudarte a crecer como fotógrafo.

Mantente en la misma línea. Mantén el sentido común y un ánimo fraternal en las discusiones.

Mejora y aporta en la discusión

Ayúdanos a hacer de este un gran lugar para la discusión siempre trabajando para mejorar la discusión de alguna manera, por pequeña que sea. Si no estás seguro de que tu aporte añade a la conversación, piensa en lo que deseas decir y vuelve a intentarlo más tarde, de ser necesario.

Los temas discutidos aquí son importantes para nosotros, y queremos que actúen como si también te importaran. Sé respetuoso con los temas y las personas que los discuten, incluso si no estás de acuerdo con algo de lo que se está diciendo.

Una manera de mejorar la discusión es descubriendo las que ya están sucediendo. Por favor, pásate un tiempo explorando los temas aquí antes de responder o iniciar uno propio, y tendrás una mejor oportunidad de conocer a otros que comparten tus intereses.

Be Agreeable, Even When You Disagree

You may wish to respond to something by disagreeing with it. That’s fine. But, remember to criticize ideas, not people. Please avoid:

• Name-calling.
• Ad hominem attacks.
• Responding to a post’s tone instead of its actual content.
• Knee-jerk contradiction.

Instead, provide reasoned counter-arguments that improve the conversation.

Your Participation Counts

The conversations we have here set the tone for everyone. Help us influence the future of this community by choosing to engage in discussions that make this forum an interesting place to be — and avoiding those that do not.

Discourse provides tools that enable the community to collectively identify the best (and worst) contributions: favorites, bookmarks, likes, flags, replies, edits, and so forth. Use these tools to improve your own experience, and everyone else’s, too.

Let’s try to leave our park better than we found it.

If You See a Problem, Flag It

Moderators have special authority; they are responsible for this forum. But so are you. With your help, moderators can be community facilitators, not just janitors or police.

When you see bad behavior, don’t reply. It encourages the bad behavior by acknowledging it, consumes your energy, and wastes everyone’s time. Just flag it. If enough flags accrue, action will be taken, either automatically or by moderator intervention.

In order to maintain our community, moderators reserve the right to remove any content and any user account for any reason at any time. Moderators do not preview new posts in any way; the moderators and site operators take no responsibility for any content posted by the community.

Always Be Civil

Nothing sabotages a healthy conversation like rudeness:

• Be civil. Don’t post anything that a reasonable person would consider offensive, abusive, or hate speech.
• Keep it clean. Don’t post anything obscene or sexually explicit.
• Respect each other. Don’t harass or grief anyone, impersonate people, or expose their private information.
• Respect our forum. Don’t post spam or otherwise vandalize the forum.

These are not concrete terms with precise definitions — avoid even the appearance of any of these things. If you’re unsure, ask yourself how you would feel if your post was featured on the front page of the New York Times.

This is a public forum, and search engines index these discussions. Keep the language, links, and images safe for family and friends.

Keep It Tidy

Make the effort to put things in the right place, so that we can spend more time discussing and less cleaning up. So:

• Don’t start a topic in the wrong category.
• Don’t cross-post the same thing in multiple topics.
• Don’t post no-content replies.
• Don’t divert a topic by changing it midstream.
• Don’t sign your posts — every post has your profile information attached to it.

Rather than posting “+1” or “Agreed”, use the Like button. Rather than taking an existing topic in a radically different direction, use Reply as a Linked Topic.

Post Only Your Own Stuff

You may not post anything digital that belongs to someone else without permission. You may not post descriptions of, links to, or methods for stealing someone’s intellectual property (software, video, audio, images), or for breaking any other law.

Powered by You

This site is operated by your friendly local staff and you, the community. If you have any further questions about how things should work here, open a new topic in the site feedback category and let’s discuss! If there’s a critical or urgent issue that can’t be handled by a meta topic or flag, contact us via the staff page.
