<p><strong>3. Be diplomatic.</strong></p>
<p>Participate in a courteous, objective, and open-minded fashion. Be nice to other posters and the people who make <em>Star Trek.</em> Disagree respectfully and don’t gatekeep.</p>
<p><strong>4. Assume good faith.</strong></p>
<p>Assume good faith. Give other posters the benefit of the doubt, but report them if you genuinely believe they are trolling. Don’t whine about “politics.”</p>
<p><strong>5. Tag spoilers.</strong></p>
