RULE 3.2READING / 3 PARAGRAPHS

Discriminatory Harassment & Stereotyping

Do not target people with stereotypes, exclusion, misgendering, deadnaming, ableist abuse, religious hostility, or degrading generalisations. Persistent “debate” over another member’s identity can itself become harassment.

Mistakes corrected promptly and sincerely are distinguishable from deliberate conduct. Repetition after correction, conspicuous emphasis, coordinated targeting, or using identity as an insult demonstrates aggravating intent.

Content does not need to contain a recognised slur to be discriminatory. Staff assess meaning, context, audience, pattern, and reasonably understood coded language.
