  1. Be nice and have fun! Use content warnings (CW) and #hashtags liberally.
  2. No hate speech. Do not use pejorative or discriminatory language with reference to a person or a group on the basis of who they are, in other words, based on their religion, ethnicity, nationality, race, colour, descent, gender, sexual orientation or other identity factor.
