As everything in the NEAR Ecosystem, the Community Guidelines are living and organic.

We’ve recently implemented a change to the [Community Guidelines](http://gov.near.org/t/implementing-near-community-guidelines/4200) here (and on the [Wiki](https://wiki.near.org/governance/near-forum/near-forum-guidelines)) which has been highlighted below:

> [@Implementing NEAR Community Guidelines](http://gov.near.org/t/implementing-near-community-guidelines/4200/1):
>
> ## You should not:
> 
> 1. Make personal attacks on other community members;
> 2. Use defamatory remarks or make false statements against others;
> 3. Post prejudiced comments or profanity;
> 4. **Post sexually explicit content;**
> 5. Post discriminating content, **this includes content around religion and politics;**
> 6. Bully or make inflammatory remarks to other community members;
> 7. Post spam

Let’s nurture a positive, proactive, and awesome community ✌
