3.1

Accuracy. Where you are stating a fact, always double check the accuracy of it. If you are referring to a fact that comes from a report, study or article, try to cite the source of the fact so that other Users can understand the context and engage more usefully in discussion. Where you are stating an opinion consider whether it is one that you sincerely hold and whether it is one that suggests discriminating or prejudicing others; where you report someone else’s opinion take care not to represent it out of context or to misconstrue it. Discussions built on falsehoods are not constructive.
 

3.2

Relevance. Contributions should be made to help develop your own written work, add to a debate or broaden a perspective on a topic being discussed. While this means that additional points may be relevant to bring in, and while discussions may broaden and wander over time, you should not make a Contribution which is entirely off topic and causes the discussion to take a drastic turn in a different direction. In particular, where you have strong views on a particular subject, avoid conduct that tries to make every discussion feature the topic on which you hold those views. While you may consider your chosen topic to be urgent or important, others should be allowed the freedom to discuss other topics if they wish to.
 

3.3

Mindfulness. When making a Contribution, consider how could this be interpreted by other Users. There is a difference in how you come across in writing and in conversation and your tone may not come across as you intended in writing. Try to be as clear and specific as possible in your Contributions so that your intended meaning is more likely to come across. In particular, if you are making a Contribution that is designed to provoke or to test another person’s Contribution (in a way that is often described as “playing devil’s advocate”) it may be helpful if you make that clear at the same time as adding your Contribution.
 

3.4

Discrimination. You must not make any Contribution which is discriminatory in nature. This means that you should not make any Contribution which makes an unjust or prejudicial statement about a person or group of people based on their personal characteristics such as age, disability, gender reassignment status, marital or civil partner status, pregnancy or maternity status, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation.
 

3.5

Threats, harassment , bullying and violence. You must not make any Contribution which is threatening or harassing in nature or promotes violence either to an individual or a group of people.. Types of behaviour which may be considered threatening or harassing or bullying include but are not limited to:

• Insults, name-calling and offensive language and gestures;

• Inappropriate jokes including jokes which are racist, sexist, homophobic, biphobic, transphobic or ageist, or which contain derogatory or stereotypical remarks about a particular ethnic or religious group or gender or are of a sexually explicit nature;

• Ridiculing and undermining behaviour;

• Inappropriate or unnecessary physical contact;

• Physical assault or threats of physical assault;

• Intimidating, coercive or threatening actions and behaviours;

• Unwelcome sexual advances including but not limited to physical contact, invasion of personal space, inappropriate remarks about a person’s appearance or dress, sexually explicit language and verbal and physical innuendo, intrusive staring of a sexual nature and persistent unwanted advances;

• Isolation, non-cooperation or deliberate exclusion;

• Inappropriate comments about a person’s appearance, intrusive questions or comments about a person’s private life and malicious gossip;

• Outing or threatening to out someone’s sexual or gender identity;

• Offensive images and literature;

• Pestering, spying or stalking.

This list is non-exhaustive but is indicative of behaviour which would be considered unacceptable conduct by FSM and Kapulewis.com.

3.6

Hate and provocation. You must not make Contributions which incite hatred, or which are designed to provoke an individual or group of individuals, or cause that person or those individuals needless anxiety.

3.7

Legality. You must not post any Contribution that is illegal. This includes any Contribution which is slanderous, defamatory, libellous, encourages crime, is in breach of a court order or in contempt of court, or puts children at risk or encourages any other User to do any of these things.

3.8

Artificial Intelligence (AI). You undertake not to pass off any work produced entirely by or in significant conjunction with chatbots or other AI platforms (including but not limited to ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude or Sudowrite) as your own Contribution (including writing), without making this explicit. This applies to work shared during Services.

You will under no circumstances upload or input the work of other customers or Users or tutors into any AI platform for any purpose, at any time.

3.9

Ownership. You must not post any content or submit any Contribution which is plagiarised, or which would otherwise represent a breach of copyright (or any other intellectual property right).

3.10

Advertising. You must not make a Contribution directly seeking financial gain, for example asking for sponsorship or advertising a product or services or other messages that might be considered spam.

3.11

Privacy. You must not make a Contribution which includes personal data (such as the telephone number, location, home address or email address) of yourself or any other individual. You should not make a Contribution which includes information about another person which would reasonably be considered private about another person without their consent (for example, information about their personal relationships or employment).

3.12

Respect. You will treat your fellow Users, customers, tutors, administrative taff, FSM staff or guests with respect at all times and this will include respecting their sensitivities and boundaries during Contributions, during Services, while using the Website and/or in any in person, online, phone or other interactions through third party messaging Websites.
