If such comments are perceived by moderators and users who report the comments to be not merely misinformed, but also inflammatory, derogatory, bigoted, or prejudiced in some way, the moderators will ban the user. Such comments without the proper documentation are subject to removal (and see our commenting policies if you have any doubts about whether the removal was justified). Insults and attacks will result in an immediate ban.Ĭomments that contradict major findings of linguistics or its related disciplines are expected to provide academic sources that support their claims. No personal attacks or harassment of users, including via personal messages.If a post is seeking information on a phenomenon beyond some language, additional examples from that same language aren't helpful.If a post is seeking an analysis of a phenomenon, additional examples aren't helpful unless they drive an analysis.Keep the anecdotal evidence and layman speculation to a minimum.Cite your sources and don't be afraid to ask others to do the same.questions/comments not related to linguistics.requests for personal non-professional advice-e.g., "what should I study?" consider posting to our weekly Higher Ed Wednesday thread for these.low effort or 'fluff' posts-e.g., bare Wikipedia links, image posts."Does your language do X?"
