A Civilized Place for Public Discussion
The Lazy Summer Governance Forum is a space for constructive discussions about improving the protocol. Treat it with the same respect you would show to teammates and collaborators. While we may have different perspectives on how to grow and evolve Lazy Summer, staying respectful and constructive is key.
We will not tolerate attacks, baseless accusations, or toxic behavior. Members who engage in such conduct may face content moderation or be banned from the forum.
Improve the Discussion
Help make this forum a valuable space by contributing meaningful insights. If you’re unsure whether your post adds value, take a moment to reflect before posting.
A great way to contribute is by engaging in ongoing discussions rather than creating redundant topics. Browsing existing threads can help you connect with like-minded contributors.
Discussions here matter. Treat them—and the people participating in them—with respect, even when disagreements arise.
Be Agreeable, Even When You Disagree
Disagreements are normal, but keep it about ideas, not people. Avoid:
- Name-calling
- Personal attacks
- Focusing on tone instead of content
- Knee-jerk contradictions
- Baseless accusations
Instead, bring thoughtful insights that push the conversation forward.
Your Participation Shapes the Community
Every discussion sets the tone for new members. By engaging in meaningful conversations, you help shape Lazy Summer’s governance culture.
Use available tools—likes, flags, bookmarks, edits, and topic watching—to enhance discussions and improve the experience for everyone.
Let’s leave this forum better than we found it. 
If You See a Problem, Flag It
Moderators oversee the forum, but the community also plays a role in maintaining a high-quality space.
If you encounter inappropriate content, don’t engage—flag it. Enough flags will trigger action, either automatically or via moderator review.
Moderators reserve the right to remove content or accounts at their discretion. However, they do not pre-screen new posts and are not responsible for content shared by users.
Always Be Civil
Healthy discussions thrive in a respectful environment. To maintain that:
- Be civil. No offensive, abusive, or hateful content.
- Keep it clean. No obscene or sexually explicit posts.
- Respect others. No harassment, impersonation, or doxxing.
- Respect the forum. No spam or disruptive behavior.
If you’re unsure whether something is appropriate, ask yourself: Would I be comfortable if this were on the front page of a major news site?
This is a public forum, and search engines index discussions. Keep your posts safe for a broad audience.
Keep It Organized
Help keep discussions focused and structured:
- Post in the correct category.
- Avoid cross-posting the same content in multiple threads.
- Don’t post empty replies—use the Like button instead.
- Stay on-topic and avoid derailing conversations.
- No need to sign your posts—your profile information is attached.
If you want to take a conversation in a new direction, use Reply as a Linked Topic rather than hijacking an existing thread.
Post Only Your Own Content
Do not share content that belongs to someone else without permission. This includes:
- Copyrighted material (software, videos, audio, images)
- Links or guides to illegal activities
Respect intellectual property and contribute original content.
By following these guidelines, we can create a governance forum that is engaging, constructive, and impactful. Let’s work together to build Lazy Summer into something truly great.
