Forbes has released their Community Guidelines to foster open and thoughtful conversations among its readers. The guidelines emphasize the importance of sharing views and exchanging ideas in a safe space, while adhering to the rules outlined in the Terms of Service. The key rule is to keep it civil, with posts being rejected if they contain false or misleading information, spam, insults, profanity, or threats. Attacking the identity of other commenters or the article’s author is also strictly prohibited.
Another key aspect of the guidelines is the prohibition of user accounts that engage in continuous attempts to re-post moderated comments, as well as racist, sexist, homophobic, or other discriminatory comments. Users who put the site’s security at risk or violate the Terms of Service in any way will face potential blocks. Power users are encouraged to stay on topic, share insights, and be clear and thoughtful in expressing their views. They can also use the ‘Like’ or ‘Dislike’ buttons to show their point of view and protect the community by using the report tool to alert moderators of any rule-breaking behavior.
Overall, the guidelines aim to create a positive and inclusive community where members can engage in meaningful discussions and debates. By following the rules and being respectful towards others, users can contribute to a more enriching experience for everyone. Forbes encourages its readers to familiarize themselves with the full list of posting rules in the Terms of Service to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all participants. Thank you for reading the community guidelines and for helping to make Forbes a welcoming space for all readers.
