Ourstube is a positive and respectful community dedicated to fostering meaningful connections and constructive dialogue. To maintain this welcoming environment for all users, please adhere to the following community standards:
Respect others' opinions and beliefs. We celebrate diversity of thought and encourage healthy debate. You may disagree with others, but please do so respectfully and thoughtfully. Personal attacks based on differing viewpoints have no place in our community.
No hate speech, bullying, or harassment. We have zero tolerance for content that demeans, threatens, or targets individuals or groups based on protected characteristics including but not limited to race, ethnicity, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or national origin. This includes direct harassment, coordinated campaigns, doxxing, or any form of intimidation.
No adult, violent, or extremist content. Keep discussions appropriate and family-friendly. Content depicting graphic violence, sexual material, or promotion of extremist ideologies is strictly prohibited. This includes content that glorifies violence or encourages illegal activities.
No false or misleading information. Help us maintain the integrity of our platform by sharing accurate information. Deliberately spreading misinformation, conspiracy theories, or false claims undermines community trust. When sharing information, cite credible sources when possible.
Avoid spam, repetitive comments, or fake engagement. Don't flood the platform with duplicate comments, promotional links, or artificially inflated engagement. Focus on genuine, meaningful contributions to discussions.
Be constructive. Offer criticism thoughtfully with the aim of improving discussions, not tearing others down. Constructive feedback helps our community grow.
Respect privacy. Don't share personal information about others without consent, including addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, or identifying details.
Report violations. If you encounter content that violates these guidelines, use the report button to alert our moderation team. They'll review submissions and take appropriate action.
Moderate your own behavior. Remember that real people are behind every comment and post. Think before you share, and consider how your words might affect others.
We enforce these guidelines consistently and fairly:
Our moderation team reviews flagged content carefully, and we welcome appeals if you believe action was taken in error.
Ourstube is committed to creating an inclusive space where everyone feels safe to express themselves and engage authentically. We continuously review and update our policies to better serve our community. Your feedback helps us improve—don't hesitate to reach out with suggestions.
