Community Guidelines

● Choose the most appropriate category for your topics. Using the appropriate category makes it easier for other members to find and contribute to your topic. If you are unable to find a related topic, you may start a new one.
● Your posts should relate to the question or discussion to which you are responding. Keep your messages constructive, courteous, and concise. Include only important and relevant links.
● For your safety, security, and privacy, do not include any private and confidential information. No unauthorized publishing of personal information, such as credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, driver's and other license numbers, or any other information that is not publicly accessible.
● Be yourself. Impersonation or passing yourself off as another person will result in expulsion from the community.
● Posting comments is meant to stimulate conversation, not to create contention. Attacks on others is not allowed. No violent or bullying behavior. No threatening, harassing, or bullying of other members. This includes the use of profanity. No promoting hatred toward groups of

characteristic.
