Community guidelines

 

Welcome to The Resistance - Northridge, Indivisible (TRNI)!

TRNI is a place of community and civic engagement. We respect different perspectives in a respectful and civil manner and we hold our visitors and commentators to the same standards. 

Every so often we post a blog piece that we think you may find helpful, interesting or informative.

We want you to enjoy your stay here as much as possible and to do so, please abide by these guidelines:

DON'T BE A JERK

We will not tolerate any name-calling, personal attacks or harassment of any kind. Racism, bigotry, misogyny or any other inappropriate responses will be removed.

ABSOLUTELY NO DRAMA!

Do not bring drama from a different channel onto this one. Personal attacks against a mod or any other commentators will not be tolerated.

STAY ON TOPIC. 

If your post does not address the post or relate to it in some context, you will be asked to take your conversation anywhere else but here and your post will be deleted.

NO TROLLING.

If you post a deliberately offensive or provocative comment with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them, your post will be deleted. Continue the behavior and you'll be asked to leave and/or banned from our site.

NO STALKING.

If you follow someone to this channel to continue an argument you've had with them on another or to harass them, your post will be deleted. Continue the behavior and you will be asked to leave and/or banned from our site.

NO SOCK PUPPETS.

If you try to circumvent a ban by returning with a sock puppet or new account, you will earn an instant ban; no warning needed.

NO SERIAL FLAGGING.

Flagging is to be done only if the commenter has violated the Disqus Terms of Service, contains spam or offensive language. Flagging simply because you don't agree with someone is unacceptable.

NO RANTS.

IF YOU'RE QUOTING SOURCES, THEY MUST BE CREDIBLE.

Breitbart is not an acceptable source; either is Fox News, Info Wars, Rush Limbaugh, The Blaze, One America News Network, anything Trump says, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, The Savage Nation, National Review, The Washington Examiner, Drudge Report  and many more. If your source cannot back up their report by verifiable facts, they are only conspiracy theories; and that is not welcome into the conversation.  

*All rules are subject to change.

We are also obligated by Disqus to abide by the basic rules. The following are not allowed on Disqus:

  • Targeted harassment and encouraging others to do so.

  • Spam

  • Impersonation

  • Direct threat of harm

  • Posting personally identifiable information

  • Inappropriate profile content

Thank you for taking the time to read these guidelines. We hope you enjoy your stay here!
