Releasing personal information about other users in an attempt to encourage harassment against them through witch hunts or vigilantism is prohibited.
Disruptive Conduct
Any conduct which interrupts the general flow of the forum, or any other SDG medium, is prohibited.
- Spamming is prohibited. Posting the same thing multiple times, posting gibberish, or making an unreasonable amount of consecutive replies, disrupts the flow of the forum.
- Creating posts to cause unrest or disturbance is prohibited. The intent to derail a topic, troll other users, or start a flame war such as by intentionally posting inflammatory or off-topic remarks, disrupts the flow of the forum. Contributing to ongoing unrest or disturbance, despite not being the instigator, can result in moderation depending on the severity.

Discretion
