The Handbags Code of Conduct


To foster the best possible experience for all, the Handbags community respectfully requests that its visitors and contributors honor the following code of conduct:


(1) Play nicely with others


  • Respect your peers — Treat others and their contributions with respect and foster considerate dialogue. 

  • Do not use offensive language — Inappropriate, crude, or abusive language is not only unacceptable, it’s a lousy way to convince anyone of your point.

  • Remember, there are no stupid questions — Everyone’s input is welcomed and honored. “Flaming” others or demeaning their participation may build your self-esteem but it won’t help build community.

  • Report inappropriate behavior — Remove and/or report disrespectful or provocative content, but refrain from seeking vigilante justice.


(2) Act in good faith


  • Don’t pilfer material — Don’t publish content to which you have no rights. Period. Full stop.

  • It’s about you, but not about YOU — This site exists to support an organic and communal body of information. Shameless self-promotion and hawking of wares are strictly verboten, not to mention pathetic.


(3) Promote the community spirit


  • Use the Moderators as a resource — Reach out to the Moderators for guidance or advice on how best to leverage the site.  They are there to help.

  • Share the experience — Be an ambassador of the community by enrolling others in the discussion, sponsoring a good debate, and setting a good, collaborative example.
