There is an actual person behind every anonymous username -> don't be a bootyhole
CommonRoom only works if people feel comfortable sharing, replying, talking, or simply being here, so please treat the room and the people in it accordingly. We have enough other places for spam and gossip.
It depends on you whether this place dies or flourishes. So please be a lovely part of the room :)
Only yes is a yes. Everyone is free to decline a request, leave a chat, not answer, or block someone. Nobody owes you a reply or an explanation.
Never pressure someone to share more, keep talking, move the chat elsewhere, or reveal who they are. If someone says no or stops replying, accept it and move on.
Harassment, manipulation, threats, stalking, and other boundary crossing are not tolerated.
CommonRoom is for thoughts, questions, experiences, struggles, little moments, and whatever else is genuinely on your mind.
It is not a dating or friend-finding app, marketplace, advertising space, or general ETH Q&A forum. Connections can happen naturally, but they should not be your main reason for being here.
Random thoughts and casual posts are welcome. Spam is not. Please do not advertise, recruit, sell things, post automated content, or flood the room.
Do not screenshot, copy, publish, or share someone else's messages or personal information without their consent. Community posts should also stay inside the community.
Do not try to identify another user. Anonymity is what makes honest exchange here possible.
Avoid names, phone numbers, addresses, social media accounts, identifiable photos, or anything else that could expose you or someone else. Share your experiences without exposing people who did not choose to be part of them.
Talk to people with the same respect you would want from them.
You can disagree, joke around, or share a different perspective. Just do not insult, ridicule, threaten, frighten, discriminate against, or mislead anyone.
Before posting, take a second to think about how it might feel on the other side of the screen.
Share your own experience, but remember that you do not know everything about the person on the other side.
You can listen, relate, share what helped you, or simply say that you do not know what to say. You are not responsible for fixing anyone.
Please do not present personal opinions as professional medical, psychological, or therapeutic advice.
CommonRoom is a peer space between students. It is not a crisis service, professional counselling, or a substitute for medical or psychological care.
If you are in danger, feel unsafe, may harm yourself or someone else, or need urgent support, please do not wait for a reply here.
Get Help NowIf someone crosses your boundaries, breaks these rules, posts harmful content, or makes you feel unsafe, please report it or send me an email.
Reports help me keep CommonRoom open without letting that openness be used against others.
