*<span id="same_page"></span>'''Always reply to a post on the same page the post is on.''' In some online communities like Wikipedia or MySpace, users reply by posting to other users' pages. This is not necessary here. In cases where you wish to move the conversation elsewhere, leave a post to indicate where you are moving discussion. | *<span id="same_page"></span>'''Always reply to a post on the same page the post is on.'''

*<span id="not_malice"></span>'''Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity or ignorance.''' This simply means that when someone says something which gets you upset in any way, assume they did not mean it intentionally and respond as if they were not aware they could have upset you. In most cases, that's the truth. | *<span id="not_malice"></span>'''Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity or ignorance.'''

- | *<span id=" | + | *<span id="no_obsenity"></span>'''No obscenity of any kind is permitted on talk pages,''' as we have many, many users under the age of 18. (There are exceptions to this rule; for example, when a talk page discusses profanity used by The Brothers Chaps themselves. These exceptions are rare, and discussion in these cases is to be handled in a dignified and mature manner.) |
*<span id="no_personal_attacks"></span>'''Personal attacks of any kind or severity are forbidden.''' Each user shall be treated with dignity and respect at all times, with no exceptions. Even if a user has vandalized the wiki with the most vile content, that person shall be dealt with based on the facts of their actions and never with personal opinions or insults. | *<span id="no_personal_attacks"></span>'''Personal attacks of any kind or severity are forbidden.'''

*<span id="on_topic"></span>'''All talk page posts should be on topic.''' If you think the post (or part of a post) might be better suited for the Forum or a chat room, you're probably right. Also, if you think it might not need to be said, don't say it. However, do not feel as if you should not post something which might be of importance to the article. Every user's contributions are equally welcome in talk pages. | *<span id="on_topic"></span>'''All talk page posts should be on topic.'''
