Avoid sharing personal information about yourself or others without consent. Respect the privacy of fellow members and maintain confidentiality when necessary.

Refrain from excessive self-promotion or spamming the group with irrelevant content. Contributions should add value to the discussion rather than serve personal interests.

Maintain a professional and courteous tone in your interactions. Avoid using offensive language, sarcasm, or humour that may be misinterpreted.

If conflicts arise, attempt to resolve them privately through direct messages or other appropriate channels. Avoid escalating disagreements publicly.

​

14. Be Patient and Understanding:

Recognise that not everyone may share your level of knowledge or understanding. Be patient when explaining concepts and be understanding of differing opinions.

​

If you encounter behaviour that violates group rules or disrupts the community, report it to the moderators or administrators promptly. Do not engage in confrontations or retaliation.
