Keep it civil. Keep it respectful.

There's no strangers here. Think of every person on the site as a friend you have in real life, and that should provide a solid foundation to guide discussion.

Films For Action welcomes a diversity of viewpoints, and disagreement can often be a healthy catalyst for evolving and improving our own understandings. We want to foster a positive, collaborative, and facilitative community for people that want to create a more just, compassionate, and sustainable world. It is not as much a place for ideological debates over climate change or peak oil, for instance, as it is a place to help each other reach the common goals we share. It's a place to learn, study issues, network, share knowledge and skills, raise awareness, and support real-world organization and movement building.

There are more than enough sites on the Internet where flame wars, partisan name-calling, personal attacks and close-minded arguing is the norm. This is not one of those sites.

If a user or one of our staff flags content or a comment for review, we will remove it if it violates these guidelines. Repeated flags will result in a removal of comment or content-posting privileges, or of the user's account.

Although warnings and explanations are often provided, this is not guaranteed.  Our moderators work extremely hard at providing a fair and decent place for all users to interact, but are not always able to address every individual situation due to time constraints.

We appreciate your efforts to help us keep our site a positive, respectful place to learn, network, share and talk with others on the site.

Cheers!
