Comment Policy

​There are not many rules for commenting on O-Train Fans, however common sense and respect are key and will be enforced. Please take a look at our general guidelines below.

Keep it civil aka don't be a jerk

We're going to get into the thick of a lot of heated discussions and that's okay. These discussions often entail topics that we all personally care a lot about and will passionately defend. But in order for discussions to thrive here, we need to remember to criticize ideas, not people.

So, remember to avoid:

  • name-calling
  • ad hominem attacks
  • Responding to a post's tone instead of its actual content.
  • knee-jerk contradiction

Comments that we find to be hateful, inflammatory, or harassing may be removed. If you don't have something nice to say about another user, don't say it. Treat others the way you'd like to be treated.

Always strive to add value to every interaction and discussion you participate in

There are a lot of discussions that happen every day on websites. Before joining in a discussion, browse through some of the most recent and active discussions happening in the community, especially if you're new there.

If you are not sure your post adds to the conversation, think over what you want to say and try again later.

Keep it tidy

Help make moderators' lives easier by taking a moment to ensure that what you're about to post is in the right place. That means:

  • don't post off-topic comments or discussions: check to find the appropriate page for your comment
  • don't cross-post the same thing multiple times
  • review any specific posting guidelines for the community: some communities such as a movies community may have specific rules regarding spoilers.
  • check if another active discussion on your topic has already been posted
  • If you see something, say something

Moderators are at the forefront of combating spam, mediating disputes and enforcing community guidelines and, so are you.

If you see an issue or If you believe someone has violated the Basic Rules, report it to the webmaster by sending an email to webmaster@otrainfans.ca

Thank you and happy commenting.
