At Climate.Forum, we strive to create a respectful, collaborative, and constructive environment for discussing climate change and environmental issues. To ensure everyone can contribute positively, we have established the following community rules.

1. Be Respectful 

We encourage open dialogue but require all members to treat one another with respect. Personal attacks, harassment, or discriminatory behavior based on race, gender, religion, nationality, or any other characteristic will not be tolerated.

2. Stay on Topic 

Discussions on Climate.Forum should focus on climate change, sustainability, environmental issues, and related topics. Off-topic posts or comments can be removed to maintain the focus of the community.

3. No Spamming or Self-Promotion 

Please avoid posting excessive links, advertisements, or promotional content unrelated to climate change and sustainability. Self-promotion, when relevant and helpful, is acceptable in moderation, but spamming will result in content removal.

4. Share Credible Information

We value the spread of accurate, science-based information. Please ensure that the facts, data, or news you share are from reliable sources. Spreading misinformation or disinformation will result in content being removed.

5. Constructive Criticism 

Feel free to debate ideas and policies, but keep the conversation productive. Critique ideas, not individuals. Be mindful of how you present differing opinions, and aim to build bridges for better understanding.

6. No Hate Speech or Violence 

Any form of hate speech, incitement to violence, or glorification of violence is strictly prohibited. We are a community focused on solutions and positive actions to address the climate crisis.
