Forum Guidelines

You were notified of this post because it mentioned @general-discussion. You must follow the discussion to get notified of future posts.

The Genius forums are a place where everyone should feel comfortable to contribute knowledge and take part in thoughtful discussion. These guidelines are based on the values of the Genius community. Reporting abuse or tagging @genius-moderation will alert the moderation team to users who intentionally disregard these guidelines.

Before you post, please consider…

Your fellow community members: Be respectful towards your fellow Genius community members. Your words carry weight—everyone deserves the same respect no matter their role or amount of IQ. Racist, sexist, homophobic, derogatory, defamatory, and vulgar posts are not welcome—everyone should feel excited to contribute knowledge without being abused or harassed. Continued use of hate speech in the forums will lead to suspension. See more on language in the forums here.

Is what you're posting good content? The Genius forums are a place for thoughtful discussion, not shitposting and trolling. Here's a good checklist to go through before posting:

  • Am I posting in the right forum?
  • Do I have anything constructive to say?
  • Am I derailing or spamming this thread?
  • Is this thread's topic similar to any other recent threads? (We have a search function!)
  • Is the information I'm sharing appropriate?

Purposely shitposting, baiting, or trolling users will result in your thread/post being deleted and your account being suspended.

Is the content you're posting SFW (safe for work)? Genius has a zero tolerance policy for NSFW content. This includes graphic/violent images as well as explicit nudity. If you upload a NSFW avatar or send users NSFW material in private messages or post links/images to NSFW content, your post will be deleted and you will be suspended.

Is the content you're posting legal? Genius has a zero tolerance policy for hosting illegal download links and posting private information/photos. Posting or requesting such content in the forums may result in suspension.

Am I prepared to accept the consequences of my actions? Trolling and harassment extend beyond responding to someone in a thread. Other forms of trolling and harassment include targeted mass downvoting, spamming, and creating alternate accounts. Before taking action, think about what the consequences may be and remember you can contact a mediator, moderator or community staff member if you're experiencing an issue. Users who take part in targeted mass downvoting, spamming, or creating alt accounts will be suspended.

If you have any thoughts, questions, or concerns about the guidelines feel free to comment here or on the page. This is a community, so things are subject to change if someone has can improve upon what we have.
