Community Guidelines

Welcome to TheAppsGlobal!

TheAppsGlobal is dedicated to navigating the thrilling, sometimes daunting, and always exhilarating journey into the future collectively. We’re delighted to have you as part of our community and encourage you to engage with our group of intelligent, skilled, and passionate individuals.

To foster a welcoming environment for everyone involved with TheAppsGlobal, we’ve formulated these community guidelines. Whether you’re contributing to discussions on our website or interacting in external spaces such as YouTube, Facebook, or Instagram, we anticipate that every member of our community adheres to these rules.

First, let’s talk about what makes great comments.

• Be respectful. Being respectful in the commenting community is about more than just following the rules or being polite; it’s about trying to encourage good conversation by welcoming and including others. Think about how your words and actions might affect others. Better yet: think about how you can help make everyone want to jump in.

• Be curious. TheAppsGlobal is about exploring our future together. Show up to the comments with the same spirit of curiosity we bring to writing posts for the site; it’s fun to learn, and we can help each other learn new and interesting things together. Remember that people come from all different places and backgrounds, so don’t assume you know what they think, feel, or mean.

• Be interesting. In other words, stay pertinent. Strive to contribute something fresh or distinctive to the dialogue. It’s not a competition to be the quickest, the loudest, or the most provocative. We encourage you to share interesting content with the community, especially if it involves insights only you can offer. Keep in mind that staying on topic is crucial; comments should be relevant to the ongoing discussion. Aim to enhance the discussion in each thread by providing value rather than responding merely for the sake of it.

• Show your work. Approach commenting with the same rigor that TheAppsGlobal applies to blogging. Presenting an argument? Support it with tangible evidence that you can link to, whether it’s another news story, a scientific study, or a well-crafted video explanation. Conversations and debates become more enriching when participants share the sources behind their assumptions and conclusions.

• Help us out. Our moderators diligently work to ensure that TheAppsGlobal remains a welcoming space for everyone. You can assist us by reporting comments that violate the rules, such as spam, personal attacks, or inappropriate comments (refer to the comprehensive list of prohibitions below). Simply put: maintain a respectful tone on TheAppsGlobal . If you witness disrespectful behavior in the comments, please bring it to our attention.

Rules

Our aim is to cultivate meaningful conversations, and comments that hinder this objective will be promptly removed. While freedom of expression is valued elsewhere, we uphold a distinct standard at TheAppsGlobal. We are dedicated to maintaining an environment that is both informative and enjoyable. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of our editors and moderators to determine whether comments align with our community guidelines.

We will remove anything we deem inappropriate, and these rules may evolve over time as needed. Doing any of the things listed here will result in your comment being removed, and serious violations will result in an instant ban.

• Personal attacks: Don’t attack or insult others. This includes calling other members trolls.
• Racism, sexism, and other discrimination: Attacking entire classes of people is just like attacking a single person: we’ll ban you for it.
• Commenting on someone’s physical appearance, voice, or style: Let’s keep discussion to the content, please. Even if you’re writing what you consider a compliment, it will be removed.
• Trolling: ”Trolling” is a big, messy term, but we know what trolls are and we won’t tolerate it. If you’re derailing conversations here at TheAppsGlobal, we will take your comments and posts down, low-effort replies like “slow news day” and “tl;dr,” especially.
• Spreading misinformation: We are not a platform for spreading conspiracy theories and misinformation, and will remove posts promoting obvious falsehoods.
• Illegal activities: Posting links to illegal downloads, ways to steal service, and other nefarious activity is not OK here.
• Spam: If it comes from a human or a robot, spam will be deleted. This includes self-promotion. Generally speaking, promoting your projects here will be treated like any other spam.

Above all, our team of moderators works to keep conversation here friendly, engaging, helpful, and productive. If we feel a comment or forum post is harming that endeavor, we’ll take action.
