  • repeated use of emotional and inflammatory language in posts
• Removing a significant amount of content from pages, including guideline pages
• Spamming links to external sites and/or self-promotion
• Inserting nonsense or gibberish into pages
• Name-calling, one-upsmanship, edit wars, and other harassing or intimidating behaviors

BNBR is the first and most important rule

Above all, remember BNBR: be nice, be respectful. There are humans on the other end of your internet connection.

A cooperative environment is the only kind that thrives. Be good to each other.
