The Closer Wiki Code of Conduct

(1) Play nicely with others

• Respect your peers — Treat others and their contributions with respect and foster considerate dialogue.
• Do not use offensive language — Inappropriate, crude, or abusive language is not only unacceptable, it’s a lousy way to convince anyone of your point. Any posts that contain such language will be deleted.
• Remember, there are no stupid questions— Everyone’s input is welcomed and honored. “Flaming” others or demeaning their participation may build your self-esteem but it won’t help build community.
• Report inappropriate behavior — Remove and/or report to the moderators disrespectful or provocative content, but refrain from seeking vigilante justice.
• Posting in upper case - In Internet terms, posting in all uppercase is a sign of yelling. Please respect your peers and do not post in uppercase.

(2) Act in good faith

• Don’t pilfer material — Don’t publish content to which you have no rights. Period. Full stop.
• It’s about you, but not about YOU — This site exists to support an organic and communal body of information. Shameless self-promotion and hawking of wares are strictly verboten, not to mention pathetic.
• No spamming or advertising - This site is a community for The Closer fans to chat about the show. There is no posting of advertisements or spamming other members allowed. Your post will be deleted and you will be banned.
• No posting of spoilers - We have been advised that there will not be any legal spoilers this year for The Closer. Therefore any that are obtained on the net are possible breeches of copyright or stolen material.

(3) Promote the community spirit

• Use the Moderators as a resource — Reach out to the Moderators for guidance or advice on how best to leverage the site. They are there to help.
• Share the experience — Be an ambassador of the community by enrolling others in the discussion, sponsoring a good debate, and setting a good, collaborative example.

• It is the year 2008 - any and all information is accessible over the Internet. Please do not share email addresses, phone numbers, home addresses, etc. in threads. Get to know someone well before you share this information with them - privately. If you do share any private information, do it over PM (Private Message) not in a thread for all to see. If someone contacts you via PM and asks you for personal information and you're uncomfortable, please notify one of the moderators immediately. This is a community for all, use the Moderators as a resource to assist you. DON'T share information if you are uncomfortable about doing so.
