We acknowledge criticism of the articles we publish, but will not allow persistent misrepresentation of the Guardian and our journalists to be published on our website.
We understand that people often feel strongly about issues debated on the site, but we will consider removing any content that others might find extremely offensive or threatening.
We reserve the right to redirect or curtail conversations which descend into flame-wars based on ingrained partisanship or generalisations.
We will not tolerate racism, sexism, homophobia or other forms of hate-speech, or contributions that could be interpreted as such
We will remove any content that may put us in legal jeopardy
We will remove any posts that are obviously commercial or otherwise spam-like
Keep it relevant.
Be aware that you may be misunderstood...You can help to keep the Guardian community areas open to all viewpoints by maintaining a reasonable tone, even in unreasonable circumstances.
The platform is ours, but the conversation belongs to everybody. When we all take responsibility for maintaining an appropriate and constructive environment, the debate itself is improved and everyone benefits.
