APSIAN Rules & Guidelines

Last updated: 2024. These rules apply to all posts, comments, and interactions across APSIAN.

1
Be respectful

Treat every member with dignity. Personal attacks, hate speech, slurs, or targeted harassment of any individual or group are strictly prohibited.

2
No spam or self-promotion

Do not post repetitive content, unsolicited advertisements, or low-effort promotional material. Community-relevant sharing is welcome with context.

3
Post in the right community

Make sure your post is relevant to the community you're posting in. Off-topic posts may be removed by moderators.

4
No misinformation

Do not deliberately spread false information, especially regarding campus events, health, or safety. Satire must be clearly labelled.

5
Protect privacy

Do not share personal information — phone numbers, home addresses, private photos — of yourself or others without explicit consent.

6
No illegal content

Anything that violates applicable laws, including pirated content, illegal services, or incitement to violence, is forbidden.

7
Follow community-specific rules

Each community may have additional rules posted in its sidebar. Members are expected to read and follow them.

8
Moderators have final say

Community moderators and APSIAN staff may remove content or ban users at their discretion if these rules are violated.

9
No vote manipulation

Do not use alternate accounts, bots, or ask others to upvote/downvote specific content.

10
Use content warnings

If your post contains mature themes, spoilers, or graphic discussion, use an appropriate content warning in the title or flair.

Violations can result in content removal, temporary suspension, or permanent bans. If you see a rule violation, use the Report button on any post or comment.
