VIOLATIONS
⁃ *Personally threatening anyone for reasons such as, but not limited to, religion, race, nationality, gender, sex, sexual orientation, mental disability, and physical disability. Every member should feel safe to communicate their honest thoughts and feelings about the media topic being discussed.*
⁃ *Promoting hate speech, self-harm, organized crime, or terrorism. Please do your part to keep the Media Buffs community safe for all members.*
⁃ Spamming, which is to post or reply using the same word or phrase multiple times in a short time period, implying no meaningful thought. This behavior will be viewed as “gaming” our system for points, which is unfair to other members making the effort to engage in a thoughtful manner. Furthermore, this behavior degrades the overall quality of a conversation.
⁃ Self-promotion or promotion of any kind. Posts and replies containing this content will be seen as third-party advertisement, which is never allowed anywhere on the platform.
⁃ Impersonating other members or publicly known figures for any reason, especially with the intent to mislead. This guideline applies to your profile photo, account name and username.
⁃ Uploading a nude/semi nude photograph of a person or persons (adult or minor) to use as a profile photo. This action may be viewed as offensive by some community members, which can result in the violator’s account being reported and/or blocked.
