This is a Civilized Place for Public Discussion

A Civilized Place for Public Discussion

Welcome to QuitBetting.com! This forum is a shared community resource where we come together to share skills, knowledge, and interests through ongoing conversation. Please treat this forum with the same respect you would a public park.

These guidelines are here to help us maintain a kind and friendly environment for all.

Improve the Discussion

Help us make this a great place for discussion by always adding something positive, no matter how small. If you’re unsure if your post contributes, take a moment to think it over and try again later.

Explore ongoing discussions before replying or starting a new topic. This increases your chances of connecting with others who share your interests.

Respect the topics and people discussing them. Even if you disagree, remember that these topics matter to someone.

Be Agreeable, Even When You Disagree

Disagreement is natural, but it’s important to focus on critiquing ideas, not people. Avoid:

  • Name-calling
  • Personal attacks
  • Responding to tone instead of content
  • Knee-jerk contradictions

Instead, offer thoughtful insights that contribute to the conversation.

No Suicide or Self-Harm Talk

Discussions about suicide or self-harm are strictly prohibited. If you are experiencing a crisis or need immediate help, please contact one of the following resources:

  • 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline)
  • 911 (Emergency Services)
  • 1-800-GAMBLER (National Problem Gambling Helpline)
  • Search your state’s mental health crisis line for free help.

Your Participation Counts

The conversations we have here set the tone for new arrivals. Engage in discussions that make this forum a welcoming and interesting place to be. Discourse provides tools like bookmarks, likes, flags, replies, and edits — use them to enhance your experience and help others.

Let’s leave our community better than we found it.

If You See a Problem, Flag It

Moderators have special authority, but everyone’s help is needed to maintain our community. If you see bad behavior, don’t reply. Instead, flag it. If enough flags accrue, action will be taken automatically or by moderator intervention.

Moderators reserve the right to remove any content or user account for any reason at any time. They do not preview new posts; the moderators and site operators are not responsible for any content posted by the community.

Always Be Civil

Rudeness can sabotage healthy conversations. Please:

  • Be civil. Don’t post anything offensive, abusive, or hate speech.
  • Keep it clean. Don’t post anything obscene or sexually explicit.
  • Respect each other. Don’t harass, impersonate, or expose private information.
  • Respect our forum. Don’t post spam or vandalize the forum.

Avoid even the appearance of these behaviors. If you’re unsure, ask yourself how you would feel if your post was featured on a major news site. This is a public forum, and search engines index these discussions. Keep the language, links, and images safe for family and friends.

Keep It Tidy

Help us keep the forum organized:

  • Don’t start topics in the wrong category; read the category definitions.
  • Don’t cross-post the same thing in multiple topics.
  • Don’t post no-content replies.
  • Don’t divert a topic midstream.
  • Don’t sign your posts; your profile information is attached to every post.

Instead of posting “+1” or “Agreed”, use the Like button. For taking an existing topic in a different direction, use Reply as a Linked Topic.

Post Only Your Own Stuff

Do not post anything digital that belongs to someone else without permission. Don’t post descriptions of, links to, or methods for stealing intellectual property (software, video, audio, images), or for breaking any other law.

Anonymity and Privacy

Please be aware that this forum may not be completely anonymous. By posting on a public forum, you accept the inherent risks that someone may link your identity. Be mindful of the information you share to protect your privacy.

Thank you for helping to keep QuitBetting.com a supportive, respectful, and engaging community!
