Community safety guidance
A few practical habits can make community participation safer
and more useful for everyone.
Meeting someone
When meeting someone you first connected with online, use good
judgment and choose an appropriate public setting when possible.
Buying, selling, or exchanging
Confirm details before meeting, use caution with payments,
and avoid sharing unnecessary financial or personal information.
Posting about others
Share useful information responsibly. Avoid unnecessary identifying
details, harassment, threats, or unsupported accusations.
Community profiles
Only share information you are comfortable making available to
other participating members.
Blocking & reporting
Community connection tools include blocking and reporting options
when another participant’s behavior becomes a concern.
Use good judgment
