Code of Ethics in the 8a forum

Code of Ethics in the 8a Forum - Swedish translation

At 8a.nu we strive to have a pleasant and mature tone on the comments and the debate in general. Below is the Code of Ethics we started to apply from April 2013. To be able to post a comment or to start a forum thread it’s required that you are a registered member and you are logged in. You may register as a member by filling out a form under the New member button. Do please enter your real name. The use of clearly fictional personal details may lead to a ban of your membership.

1 Ethics
These rules are general and largely common sense.

1.1 Be friendly and respectful in your posts. Ask yourself if what you are posting is actually constructive.

1.2 Statements that may be considered insulting or offensive are not allowed. You are welcome to argue and discuss, but do not insult others. Attacks on ethnicity, sex, gender, religion, etc. are strictly prohibited.

1.3 If you have a personal issue with someone, please contact them through the Messages function instead of carrying out a private discussion in the forum.

1.4 Being provocative just to annoy others (aka trolling) is not allowed.


2 Think about how you write.

2.1 Thread topics/titles should be written simply and directly relate to the
content.

2.2 Do not create multiple threads about the same topic. If a moderator has locked a thread, do not create a new thread
on the same topic.

2.3 Write consistently and in a way that everyone can understand. English is preferred but you may write in
another language. Use of irony, word-play and/or slang is often lost on non-English speakers, so please make
sure the point of your response is clear.


3 Report offensives posts
