# Contributing

Forbidden:

-   swearing / being very aggressive, specially when there is no real content.

    Keep in mind that my Chinese sucks, so I may not get the full nuance of your comment.

-   generating lots of notifications for me that don't teach me anything new.

    I don't have that much time to waste.

    If I can unsubscribe from your notifications however, you are free to comment away.

Punitive measures, from least serious to most serious:

-   block user on one website. This may have the unintended side effect of deleting previous useful comments the user made on the websites. 
-   delete comment or vandalize the user's post
-   ban all known accounts of an user over multiple websites

Constructive disagreement will never be interfered with.

If you wish to appeal a punitive measure, please contact me through some unblocked method, and your request will be reviewed. "I'm sorry I got mad that time" will get you out of jail for first time offenders.

I will not reply anything non-trivial on Chinese websites, since all of those will be taken down sooner or later, therefore wasting my time. I will just tell you to recontact on a non-Chinese website, or re-post your question with the answer on a Western website.

If OP someone shitposts on GitHub and gets blocked, I will just make that clear by taking a web archive, posting a link on my comment, and setting the `op-block` label on the person's post: https://github.com/cirosantilli/china-dictatorship/labels/op-block
