1. The only hard rule here: respect and kindness. Racism, sexism, regional attacks, and hate speech result in first warning, second mute, third permanent ban.
2. Rants and negative emotions are allowed, but keep them issue-specific. Do not generalize into attacks on entire countries or ethnicities.
3. Personal life photos and short videos are allowed, but do not reveal your or others' home addresses, workplaces, or schools.
4. Pure commercial promotion is prohibited. If you want to recommend a hidden gem restaurant, post it in Food & Dining with the tag [Hidden Gem].
