In the interest of promoting rich and respectful discussion, the Dalai Lama Center would like users to consider the following guidelines.
What kind of comments are suitable for the Dalai Lama Center website?
While the Dalai Lama Center wishes to promote the advancement of peace through education, it does NOT wish to be a place to advocate for a particular religious, political or social cause.
What to consider when posting:
- Please keep your submissions relevant to the topic.
- Be civil.
- Feel free to link internally within the Dalai Lama Center site as many times as you would like. As for external web addresses, we allow one relevant link per post.
Please avoid:
- Lengthy excerpts from other posts. We want to hear your own opinion.
- Racist, sexist and offensive language.
- Personal attacks and defamatory statements.
- Breaking copyright rules (that includes copying and pasting excerpts from other sites without permission and attribution).
- Violating someone’s privacy.
- Threats or suggesting committing a criminal act.
- Posting your message in all CAPS (this makes it difficult to read and in online speak is considered yelling).
- Posting press releases and commercial promotions.
Posts that violate any of these rules may be removed.
