Flag and move on: > Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes. > Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something. > Please don't pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Find something interesting to respond to instead. > Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting. If we're consistent enough about this, eventually the community will get the message.
