Hurricane Wiki:Conduct policies and guidelines

The Forum namespace on the Hurricane Wiki is different from most aspects of Wikipedia in that it allows editors to (almost) freely discuss the given topic. However, there are guidelines that should be followed in order to ensure a friendly environment for all users.

Guidelines

 * Always assume good faith and be patient with newer users. If someone makes a mistake, you can correct it, but try to refrain from scolding the user who made the mistake unless it was clearly not in good faith.
 * Be civil. This goes hand in hand with assuming good faith: excessive use of bold text and italics in an attempt to intimidate someone is frowned upon. Also, do not make accusations against other editors, belittle them, or make rude edits.
 * Do not make personal attacks against anyone, whether they are users, forecasters, or agencies. This includes threats, racial slurs, and excessive profanity.
 * Do not remove other users' posts unless you are archiving them - this is generally considered incivil behavior.
 * Avoid off-topic posting. Each section within a forum should be about its given topic - edits unrelated to that topic should go in a different or new section.
 * Sign all posts with four tildes ( ~ ).
