I've been working on a set of community guidelines. Here's what I have so far:
1. **Be respectful** — Disagree with ideas, not people.
2. **Stay on topic** — Keep discussions relevant to the thread.
3. **No spam** — Self-promotion is okay in moderation, but don't overdo it.
4. **Share knowledge** — If you know the answer, help out.
5. **Use content warnings** — For sensitive topics, give people a heads up.
6. **Report issues** — If you see something that violates these guidelines, report it.
Anything you'd add or change?

Looks solid! Maybe add something about giving credit when sharing others' work or ideas?
I'd suggest adding a note about being welcoming to beginners. Nothing kills a community faster than gatekeeping.
Love it. Maybe also mention that it's okay to say "I don't know" — it's better than guessing and giving wrong answers.
