Changes

Key:  Additions   Deletions
To foster the best possible experience for all, the Treasure Hunting community respectfully requests that its visitors and contributors honor this code of conduct. Failure to follow these rules will result in a deletion of your comment and/or content.

(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.
  • Remember, there are no stupid questions— Everyone’s input is welcomed and honored. “Flaming” others or demeaning their participation or opinions 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.

(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. For a case study please read cynthiaslist. The wiki does have a classified ads page for members, but this is not for commercial postings. If you have a website that you wish to promote, contact a moderator and we will be able to review your requests for relevance to the community.

(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.

(4) Keep it original


  • Don't copy the content on other sites because people will know what you are doing!

For a more exhaustive list of legal do’s and don’ts, refer to the site’s Terms & Conditions.
