Community Guidelines

siliconharbour.dev is a community resource for folks interested in tech and software in Newfoundland & Labrador. We want everyone to feel welcome and able to participate constructively.

The Short Version

Don't be a jerk. Treat people with respect. If you wouldn't say it to someone's face at a meetup, don't say it here.

Comments that violate these guidelines will be removed, and repeat offenders may be blocked from participating.

Guidelines for Comments

• Be respectful. Disagreement is fine; personal attacks are not.
• Stay on topic. Comments should be relevant to what's being discussed.
• No harassment. This includes offensive comments related to gender, gender identity, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, race, ethnicity, religion, or technology choices.
• No spam or self-promotion. Don't post ads, excessive links, or promotional content.
• Be constructive. It's fine to share frustrations, but if negativity is all you're offering, your comment may be removed.
• Respect privacy. Don't share personal information about others without their consent.

What Happens If You Break the Rules

• Your comment gets removed.
• If it's bad enough, you may be blocked without warning.
• Repeat violations = permanent block.

Reporting Issues

If you see something that violates these guidelines, use the "Send as private feedback" option when leaving a comment, or reach out to the site admins directly.
