1. NO SLANDERING
If you are the cause of slander you will not enjoy the results of it. There are ways to get your point across without insulting people. Slandering is reserved for elementary school playgrounds not a collective of thinkers and appreciators.


2. LEAVE YOUR THOUGHTS
This is a forum to express your thoughts and knowledge of presented subjects. It is where you are able to review the words of others with the purpose of making connections and self education. If you do not express yourself how can you get answers? If you do not express yourself how can you make connections with others like you? You are not alone in this world, there is always at least one person who values your mind.


3. REPLY TO THE THOUGHTS OF OTHERS
The beauty of the DeviantART Forum features is the ability to carry on conversations with other deviants. If you want to respond directly to the owner of the "comment" click "REPLY" on the bottom left side of the comment you wish to respond to. It will go directly to the owner. This is just as good as "QUOTING" words, which is also accepted and encouraged. This is a community, there is no community if you don't interact and have a little fun.
