Guidelines

Updated January 2024

We carefully curate the Netweather forums to create a constructive and informative community, unlike uncurated social media platforms.

Our goal is to ensure that the community promotes polite, respectful, and relevant discussions focused primarily on weather and related topics. We actively curate and moderate it to create a welcoming atmosphere for members to exchange ideas and engage in friendly debates while sharing their knowledge.

In contrast to the often challenging discourse that can overrun unmoderated communities and social media, we're committed to maintaining a standard of civility, relevance, and honesty. While we embrace a variety of viewpoints, it's vital that our conversations on the community remain considerate and constructive.

Key Principles

  • Stay on topic - Keep discussions relevant to the title and theme of the topic - take note of any guidance from the team within the topic in this respect.
  • Be respectful - No personal attacks, insults or inflammatory language. Treat others as you wish to be treated.
  • Share knowledge constructively - Your insights are valuable, but share them in a kind way.
  • Embrace diversity of opinions - Differing perspectives are welcome, but debate politely.
  • Maintain integrity and authenticity - Honesty and sincerity should form the foundation.
  • Keep it family-friendly - Ensure contributions are appropriate for all ages.

Moderation and Responsibilities

  • Respect the moderation - The team works hard to maintain standards, approach them privately if needed.
  • No disruptive behaviour - Trolling, harassment, and antisocial conduct are not allowed.
  • Don't publicly debate moderation - Discuss any issues privately with the team.
  • Report issues appropriately - Use report features instead of retaliating. No public "troll-hunting."
  • No weather guilt tripping - Respect different weather preferences.
  • Think before posting - Reflect carefully in heated discussions. Moderate your own posts prior to posting them. 
  • No profanity - Keep language clean for all ages.
  • Avoid spam and illegal content - Unauthorised advertising or illegal content is forbidden.
  • One account per person - No alternate accounts to evade restrictions or to create alter egos.

Your Participation Matters
You shape this community - Be mindful of your impact through words and actions.

The team is here to help if you have questions or feedback.
