At PSEC, we strive to build a greener and more peaceful world, and a key tool in achieving this is simple, open, and honest communication. We believe that everyone deserves a chance to express their opinions in the hope of finding common ground. Our goal is to foster a safe space where productive conversations and the exchange of ideas can take place, even among those who may not share our vision.

This is why the comments sections of our stories and discussions are so important. They serve as a platform for passionate debate and fresh perspectives. However, to ensure that these conversations remain constructive and respectful, we ask all participants, including those representing PSEC, to adhere to the following principles:

1. Honesty and Transparency

• Be truthful about your identity and intentions. If you represent a corporate or government interest, are being paid for your views, or have any conflict of interest, you are welcome to contribute, but please disclose this information to provide context.

2. Civility and Respect

• Treat others with dignity and respect. Avoid using discriminatory language, making personal attacks, using foul language, making defamatory statements, or inciting violence.

• Remember: If you wouldn’t want something said to you, don’t say it to someone else.

3. Equal Opportunity to Participate

• Give everyone a fair chance to engage in the conversation. Avoid dominating discussions with multiple, repetitive posts.

• Posts that unnecessarily disrupt the flow of discussion may be removed.

4. Stay on Topic

• Keep your comments relevant to the discussion. Staying focused helps foster meaningful dialogue and ensures everyone benefits from the conversation.

5. No Commercial Activity

• This platform is for discussing important issues, not for promoting products or services. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for spam and other forms of commercial promotion.

Moderation and Enforcement

We value free speech and the open exchange of ideas. However, to protect the integrity of this community, we reserve the right to take the following actions:

• Remove comments or threads that violate these guidelines.

• Edit comments to remove promotional or irrelevant content.

• Temporarily or permanently ban users who engage in trolling, misrepresentation, or other disruptive behavior.

• Close comments on specific posts or across the site if targeted attacks or disruptive activities occur.

If you believe someone has violated these guidelines, please report the activity to our team. We rely on our community members to help us maintain a positive and productive environment.
