ELP is meant to be a welcoming, safe, and helpful place for supporting language work. To keep our community healthy, we ask you to read and follow these community guidelines. 

• Communicate with respect. Treat other people respectfully at all times. Don’t insult, harass, threaten, bully, or demean anyone. Respect other peoples’ experiences, perspectives, understandings, and cultural knowledge. Even when you disagree with an opinion, there are ways to disagree that do not disrupt or demean others – at ELP, we strive to disagree peacefully and with gentleness.
• Hate has no place here. Any content promoting hate or discrimination based on race, ethnicity, language, gender identity, sexual orientation, nationality, cultural background, religion, appearance, age,  or disability – or any other kind of hateful behavior – is strictly prohibited. 
• Respect privacy and protocol. Remember, this is a public website, and anything shared here is open and available to anyone. Do not ever share personal information about other people without their permission. Do not share knowledge or language materials which you do not have permission to share. Do not share language or cultural materials which are sacred, secret, private, or should not be public for any other reason. 
• Stay on topic. This is a community for discussing topics related to language. Don’t post things that are totally unrelated to language. Don’t spam or sell things.
• No illegal or explicit materials. Don’t share or post anything that is illegal, violent, pornographic, or unsafe for people of all ages to see. 
• Help keep the ELP community safe. Report anything you see on the ELP site that violates these guidelines. Use the flagging feature, contact a moderator, or email us. 

ELP reserves the right to remove content or ban users that violate any of these guidelines or our Terms of Service.
