These are set and enforced by the rail.chat moderators.
-
Be kind. Insulting or bullying other members or non-members will get you banned from the group without prior warning.
-
Be civil. We do not condone foul language. Breaking this rule once will land you a warning. Doing it repeatedly will get you banned.
-
Promotion of your own creative endeavors, and of nonprofit organizations, is acceptable. But other advertising should be avoided. Inappropriate posts will be immediately removed and you might get banned.
-
Use the search option. To avoid cluttering the group, please search the feed before asking a question. Someone might have already asked the same thing before.
-
English preferred, please. To make sure all members of the group understand you, please use the English language. Links to posts in other languages are OK.
-
Stick to the topic. We only allow posts and comments related to the group’s activity. Off-topic content will be removed and you will get a warning.
-
No spamming. Asking the same question or posting the same comment repeatedly after it has been removed by admins due to rule violation will result in a ban.
-
Report rule-breaking. If you see a post/comment that violates our rules, report it to the admins — DO NOT verbally attack the author of said post/comment.
-
Think before you report. Don’t report posts or comments that aren’t breaking any rules just because you don’t like or agree with their content.
-
Talk to the admin team. If you have any questions or concerns or are experiencing issues in the group, please turn to one of the admins for help. That’s what we’re here for!
