This is a Civilized Place for Public Discussion
Please treat this discussion forum with the same respect you would a public park. We, too, are a shared community resource — a place to share skills, knowledge and interests through ongoing conversation.
These are not hard and fast rules, merely guidelines to aid the human judgment of our community and keep this a clean and well-lighted place for civilized public discourse.
Improve the Discussion
Help us make this a great place for discussion by always working to improve the discussion in some way, however small. If you are not sure your post adds to the conversation, think over what you want to say and try again later.
The topics discussed here matter to us, and we want you to act as if they matter to you, too. Be respectful of the topics and the people discussing them, even if you disagree with some of what is being said.
One way to improve the discussion is by discovering ones that are already happening. Spend time browsing the topics here before replying or starting your own, and you’ll have a better chance of meeting others who share your interests.
Be Agreeable, Even When You Disagree
You may wish to respond to something by disagreeing with it. That’s fine. But remember to criticize ideas, not people. Please avoid:
- Name-calling
- Ad hominem attacks
- Responding to a post’s tone instead of its actual content
- Knee-jerk contradiction
Instead, provide reasoned counter-arguments that improve the conversation.
Your Participation Counts
The conversations we have here set the tone for every new arrival. Help us influence the future of this community by choosing to engage in discussions that make this forum an interesting place to be — and avoiding those that do not.
Florum provides tools that enable the community to collectively identify the best (and worst) contributions: bookmarks, likes, flags, replies, edits, and so forth. Use these tools to improve your own experience, and everyone else’s, too.
Let’s leave our community better than we found it.
If You See a Problem, Flag It
Moderators have special authority; they are responsible for this forum. But so are you. With your help, moderators can be community facilitators, not just janitors or police.
When you see bad behavior, don’t reply. It encourages the bad behavior by acknowledging it, consumes your energy, and wastes everyone’s time. Just flag it. If enough flags accrue, action will be taken, either automatically or by moderator intervention.
In order to maintain our community, moderators reserve the right to remove any content and any user account for any reason at any time. Moderators do not preview new posts; the moderators and site operators take no responsibility for any content posted by the community.
Always Be Civil
Nothing sabotages a healthy conversation like rudeness:
- Be civil. Don’t post anything that a reasonable person would consider offensive, abusive, or hate speech.
- Keep it clean. Don’t post anything obscene or sexually explicit.
- Respect each other. Don’t harass or grief anyone, impersonate people, or expose their private information.
- Respect our forum. Don’t post spam or otherwise vandalize the forum.
These are not concrete terms with precise definitions — avoid even the appearance of any of these things. If you’re unsure, ask yourself how you would feel if your post was featured on the front page of the New York Times.
This is a public forum, and search engines index these discussions. Keep the language, links, and images safe for family and friends.
Keep It Tidy
Make the effort to put things in the right place, so that we can spend more time discussing and less cleaning up. So:
- Don’t start a topic in the wrong category.
- Don’t cross-post the same thing in multiple topics.
- Don’t post no-content replies.
- Don’t divert a topic by changing it midstream.
- Don’t sign your posts — every post has your profile information attached to it.
Rather than posting “+1” or “Agreed”, use the Like button. Rather than taking an existing topic in a radically different direction, use Reply as a Linked Topic.
Post Only Your Own Stuff
You may not post anything digital that belongs to someone else without permission. You may not post descriptions of, links to, or methods for stealing someone’s intellectual property (software, video, audio, images), or for breaking any other law.
Powered by You
This site is operated by your friendly local staff and you, the community. If you have any further questions about how things should work here, open a new topic in the site feedback category and let’s discuss! If there’s a critical or urgent issue that can’t be handled by a meta topic or flag, contact us via the staff page.

这是一个可供公众讨论的文明之地
请以与对待一个公共公园相同的方式对待这个论坛。我们的论坛也是大家共享的社区资源 - 一个通过讨论分享技能，知识和兴趣的地方。
以下这些不是一成不变的规则，而只是指导准则，以帮助我们的社区做出合适的判断，并保证这个论坛是一个文明和谐之地。
改善讨论
通过始终以某种方式（无论规模）改进讨论，可以帮助我们将其变成一个讨论的好地方。如果您不确定自己的帖子增加了讨论的内容，请考虑一下要说的内容，然后再试一次。
这里讨论的主题对我们很重要，我们也希望您也像对戴您自己一样对待这里。即使您不同意所讲的内容，也要尊重主题和讨论主题的人员。
改善讨论的一种方法是发现已经发生的问题。花一些时间在这里浏览主题，然后再回复或开始自己的主题，您将有更多的机会结识志趣相投的人。
即使你不同意对方也要和睦待人
您可能希望通过反对来回应。没关系。但是请记住要批评思想，而不是批评人。请避免：
/直呼其名
/语言攻击
/评价帖子的语气而不是其实际内容
/引战
相反，请避免这些，以改善讨论环境。
您的参与很重要
我们在这里进行的交谈为每一个新来者定下了基调。您积极底参与有意义的（而非无意义的）论坛活动是很重要的，这帮助我们影响这个社区的未来。
Florum提供了使社区能够共同确定最佳（和最差）贡献的工具：收藏，点赞，标记，答复，编辑等。使用这些工具可以改善您自己以及其他所有人的体验。
让我们使得社区变得更好。
如果发现问题，告诉我们
管理员具有特殊权限；他们负责管理这个论坛。但是你也是。在您的帮助下，管理员可以是社区的帮助者，而不仅仅是看门人或警察。
当您发现不良行为时，请勿回复。这将促使不良行为发酵，浪费您的精力，并浪费每个人的时间。只是标记下它。如果出现足够的标志，将自动或通过管理员干预采取措施。
为了维护我们的社区，管理员保留随时出于任何原因删除任何内容和任何用户帐户的权利。管理员不预览新帖子；管理员和站点运营商对社区发布的任何内容概不负责。
永远保持文明
没有什么比粗鲁的语言更破坏健康的讨论了：
保持文明。不要发布任何理性的人会认为令人反感，辱骂或仇恨的言论。
保持干净。请勿发布任何淫秽或露骨的内容。
互相尊重。请勿骚扰或数落任何人，假冒他人或公开其私人信息。
尊重我们的论坛。不要发布垃圾邮件或以其他方式破坏论坛。
这些不是具有精确定义的具体术语-仅仅用于避免出现任何此类事物。如果您不确定，请问问自己，如果您的帖子在《纽约时报》的首页上出现，您会感觉如何。
这是一个公共论坛，搜索引擎会将这些讨论编入索引。确保家人和朋友的语言，链接和图像安全。
保持整洁
尽力将事情放在正确的位置，以便我们可以花更多的时间讨论并减少清理工作。所以：
/不要以错误的类别开始主题。
/不要在多个主题中交叉发布相同的内容。
/不要发布无内容的回复。
/请勿在中间更改主题以转移话题。
/*不要在您的帖子上签名-每个帖子都附带您的个人资料信息。
不要发布“ +1”或“同意”，请使用“赞”按钮。与其将根本的话题带到完全不同的方向，不如将“答复”用作链接的话题。
只发布您自己的东西
未经许可，您不得发布任何属于他人的数字内容。您不得发布关于窃取某人的知识产权（软件，视频，音频，图像）或违反任何其他法律的描述，链接或方法。
由您驱动
该站点由您友好的运营团队以及您和社区运营。如果您对此处的工作方式还有其他疑问，请在“论坛”类别中打开一个新主题，然后进行讨论！如果存在紧急问题，请通过“运营团队”页面与我们联系。
服务条款
是的，法律相关的事情很无聊，但是我们必须保护自己-进而保护您和您的数据-免受不友好的人们的侵害。我们有一个服务条款来描述您（以及我们）与内容，隐私和法律有关的行为和权利。要使用此论坛的服务，您必须同意遵守我们的服务条款。
