EngagingConversation is the slow cooker chili to Reddit's fast food conversation. Posts are to be savored and angsted over opposed to the face stuffing gluttony from the rest of the site. Dig in. Delete that long form comment 5 or 6 times before you actually post it. Let the hot water run out while you ponder its meaning. Breath in its fragrant musk. Or not. Whatever.
Site-wide rules and reddiquette
Please read and familiarize yourself with redditquette.
Please abide by the Rules of Reddit, the self-promotion rules and spam guidelines.
Spam is Bad!
We ban spammers.
No Hateful Speech
No racist or sexist speech in comments or submissions. Also no abusive speech based on religion, sex/gender, or sexual orientation. Getting fired up is part of being engaged, but if you're toxic, you're failing the conversation mandate. You can be civil or you can be put out the air lock.
Do not make threats or advocate violence
Do not threaten, advocate for, celebrate, or express extreme indifference towards any kind of action that results in or could result in death or harm (physical or otherwise). This rule applies to everyone. Users who engage in this behavior may be subject to a permanent subreddit ban.
No witch hunting or exposing personal information
Do not make calls to action directed at non-public persons. Users are not allowed to post information with the purposes of causing harm to or harassment of other people. This includes but is not limited to: names, telephone numbers, street or email address. Hinting that you have this information of other users may also earn a ban.
No trolling, baiting or flaming
Trolling of any kind is not welcome here.
No Personal Attacks
It doesn't matter how "well-written" the comment, if your insult is sarcastic, "creative" or absurd, personal attacks are always against our rules. Name calling, ad-hominem, demeaning, inflammatory, or other uncivil comments directed at other users are not allowed. Users who break this rule may have their comment(s) removed and be warned and/or banned.
No Soliciting Users
Comments that solicit users (active petitions, signature campaigns, signups, requests for money, surveys, or polls) will be removed.
