##philosophy channel guidelines (short and sweet)

• Don't be stupid, intellectually dishonest, or snide. Use common sense and be respectful of differing opinions.

• Don't react to trolls. Instead, send a private message to the administrative bot 'philosopher' or a moderator. Troll-baiting may result in both you and the troll being removed.

• Try to be at least mildly on-topic. This means most conversations about current events, science, and literature are OK as long as they have some philosophical element. Otherwise, consider moving to a more appropriate channel (##politics, ##math, ##science, etc.)

• ##philosophy isn't a democracy. (Plato would be proud!) It's ultimately up to the moderators to guide channel discussion, and all moderation decisions are final.
