The free seeds and clone threads is re-opened. I am posting the following here and within that thread.
There have been a number of issues recently and, as a result, the moderation team are reiterating key expectations.
If you have not already done so, read and review:
The site TOS
The site FAQ
Learn about:
The moderation team
The community leaders
Keep it tidy:
Off topic posts within this thread and other threads within OG are subject to removal or re-categorization. When posting, consider contributing to a forum thread with related content for discussions that may not be relevant to the topic at hand. Banter is expected though the moderation team and community leaders may re-direct the discourse to encourage keeping the subject on-topic. That may include removing off-topic posting or posts that do not follow site guidelines.
Moderation:
This community relies heavily on individual self-moderation. We also rely on feedback for issues that are occurring or likely to occur. If you encounter a problem or an issue, if there is a violation of the site TOS or the site FAQ, if there are questions on how this site in managed, reach out to the moderation team (@moderators) and they will make an assessment and assist when appropriate. Likewise, the community leaders are also willing to assist and provide guidance (@TeamOG).
Individuals may also flag both public and private offending posts for review by the moderation team.
Comments and suggestions:
If you have comments or suggestions about this site and the site features, please refer to the OG Website Feature Wish List
If you have comments or suggestions on site management, please reach out to the @moderators or to @TeamOG
Keep it civil:
Be respectful of each other, read and understand the discourse, try to avoid stepping on each others toes. Attacking, baiting, throwing insults at other community members, and attempting to create discord/drama is not acceptable behavior.
Likewise, attacking, baiting, throwing insults, ignoring guidance, interfering with moderation efforts, and creating discord/drama with the moderation team and community leaders is not considered acceptable behavior and will not be tolerated. Particularly, when done so in a persistent manner.
The moderation team will take the necessary steps to contain such behavior when it occurs.
Follow the guidance from the moderation team and community leaders.
