Be respectful.
Treat every member with basic dignity regardless of experience level. Disagreement is fine; disrespect isn't. No name-calling, slurs, or condescension, and no mocking newcomers or people with less experience. Assume good faith before reacting.

No medical advice.
Share your own experience all day long — but don't diagnose others, tell them what to do about a health condition, or tell them to start or stop a treatment. EMS has real contraindications and risks, so always encourage people to consult a qualified professional for medical decisions. Posts that read as medical advice may be edited or removed.

No spam or fake claims.
No unsolicited promotion or affiliate links without disclosure. No exaggerated or unsubstantiated claims — back it up or don't post it. No posting the same thing across multiple threads. No creating accounts to impersonate members or brands.

Privacy & safety.
Don't share anyone's identifying information without consent. Use the report button rather than calling out violations in-thread. One account per person.

How enforcement works.
Most first-time issues get a warning, then a temporary suspension, then a permanent ban if it continues. Serious offenses (harassment, doxxing) skip straight to a ban. Appeals go through the mod team by DM, not public threads.
