This is a place where individuals are supposed to share ideas and views in a respectful, informative and inclusive society where communication and robust health as well as daily life experiences are shared. I would like to make the atmosphere of the environment, in which individuals will feel free to talk, but I would also want to preserve a certain level of precision and respect.
I would like to see everyone commenting respectfully to one another even when they disagree. Personal attacks, harassment, hate speech or misinformation spread will not be accepted. The dialogue must be on ideas rather than people. I promote effective communication, enquiries, and experience by being constructive.
In case community members find inappropriate or damaging remarks, they can flag them or inform me about them so that they can be discussed. I will also keep a check on the comments in case the space is not maintained as a respectful space.
Any comments that contravene such expectations can be deleted, particularly when these comments contain abusive language, misinformation or persistent disturbance of the conversation. Users can be blocked or limited to engage in cases of violations taking place repeatedly.
These recommendations are based on such principles of ethical media development as transparency, accuracy, and accountability -Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics; City Bureau Community Engagement Guidelines. It is aimed at creating a community that appreciates open as well as responsible communication.
