RULE 2.3READING / 3 PARAGRAPHS

Harassment, Bullying & Dogpiling

Harassment includes repeated or severe conduct that targets a person, causes distress, pressures them to leave, or creates a hostile environment. One exceptionally severe incident can be sufficient.

Do not coordinate ridicule, mass mentions, hostile reactions, false reports, exclusion campaigns, or waves of contact. Joining an existing dogpile makes you responsible for your own contribution.

Public call-outs and naming-and-shaming are not substitutes for reports. Preserve evidence and contact staff privately; do not turn allegations into entertainment or a community vote.
