ClimateConvo exists to be a thoughtful, solutions-oriented space where people can learn, share, and talk honestly about climate change and the environment. Whether you're posting an article, sharing a snap, or jumping into a comment thread, these guidelines help keep the conversation worth having for everyone.

1. Be Respectful

Disagreement is fine — hostility isn't. Treat fellow members the way you'd want to be treated in a real conversation. Harassment, personal attacks, threats, hate speech, or discriminatory language of any kind will result in immediate action. You can challenge an idea without going after the person behind it.

2. Stay On Topic

ClimateConvo is focused on climate, environment, clean energy, and the people and policies shaping our planet's future. Keep your posts, snaps, and comments relevant to that mission. Spam, repetitive content, misleading headlines, and off-topic promotion have no place here.

3. Share Accurate Information

Climate misinformation causes real harm. Do your best to share content that is factual, sourced, and honest. If you're not sure about something, say so. Deliberately spreading false or misleading climate claims may result in content removal.

4. Respect Intellectual Property

Only share content you own or have permission to use. Respect copyrights, trademarks, and the work of others. For more details, see our DMCA Policy.

5. Protect Privacy

Never share another person's private information without their consent — including addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, or any other personally identifiable data. This applies to public figures and private individuals alike.

6. No Illegal Activity

Do not post content that promotes, glorifies, or facilitates illegal activity. This includes anything that encourages harm to people, property, or the environment.

7. Reporting Content

If you come across something that feels off — whether it's harmful, misleading, or just doesn't belong — please flag it. Use the report icon on any post, snap, or comment, or reach out via the "Contact Us" link in the footer. Reports are reviewed by our moderation team and taken seriously.

8. Enforcement

Violations of these guidelines may result in content removal, a temporary suspension, or a permanent ban — depending on the nature and frequency of the behavior. We aim to be fair and consistent, and we'd always rather correct than remove a good-faith contributor.

9. The Bigger Picture

Climate change is one of the most important conversations humanity is having right now. The goal of ClimateConvo is to make that conversation more informed, more accessible, and more human. We're glad you're here — let's make it count.

10. Questions or Concerns

If you have questions about these guidelines, want to appeal a moderation decision, or just want to share feedback, we'd love to hear from you. Reach out anytime through the "Contact Us" link in the footer.
