I agree to adhere to these rules so that all members of the community feel welcome and safe:
- I will not offer medical advice to other members. (You can always share your own experiences with medications, doctors, etc. but you may not advise another member on medical issues.)
- I will not bring up or discuss religion. (Saying you will pray for someone to feel better, etc, is okay.)
- I will not bring up politics. (The only exception is if you are sharing information regarding legislation that impacts the disabled community).
- I will not comment on a member's diet/eating habits or offer unsolicited advice regarding food/diets.
- I will be gracious about what is offered to me and I will show gratitude to those helping me. If I don't want the help being offered, I will kindly decline the offer.
- I will give without strings attached. I will not ask for money in exchange for my support or expect the support I give to be reciprocated in the same way.
- I will not bully, intimidate, harass, or harm another member in any way, either online or in-person. I understand that hateful rhetoric against groups of people will not be tolerated.
- I will not play "sick olympics" where I compare my pain/experience to someone else in a negative way.
- I will support all members regardless of our differences.
- I will not post copyrighted material.
