🔒 1. Be Respectful and Supportive

• No bullying, mocking, harassment, or victim-blaming.

• Support others with empathy and understanding.

🛡️ 2. No Promotion of Scams or Fraud

• Absolutely no sharing or linking to scam websites or tools, even for demonstration, unless properly anonymized (e.g., example[dot]com).

• Promoting illegal services, “get rich quick” schemes, or suspicious financial opportunities is strictly forbidden.

🧾 3. Provide Proof When Accusing

• If you're exposing a scammer or reporting fraud, provide evidence like screenshots, chat logs, or transaction IDs.

• Do not accuse individuals or businesses without credible evidence — false accusations may result in a ban.

⚖️ 4. Stay Legal

• Do not post copyrighted content, pirated material, or any illegal files.

• Use anonymized data when sharing sensitive information to protect individual privacy.

💬 5. Stay On Topic

• Avoid duplicate posts. Use the search function before creating a new thread.

• No spamming or off-topic posts in scam support threads.

🚫 6. No Self-Promotion or Advertising

• Do not promote your services, websites, social media pages, or referral links without prior permission.

• If you're offering help, it must be provided free of charge and marked as non-commercial.
