Talk Guidelines and references to disability

Hi MN

I know there have been ongoing comments and posts so apologies for adding to them.
would it be possible to update the Talk Guidelines? I can see reference to ‘hate speech’ but maybe a reference that due to the diversity of membership and desire to create an inclusive environment posters are asked to avoid stereotypes or lazy diagnosis? It could help to avoid the responses referencing Neurodiversity (could they have autism because they are <insert annoying thing>) but also leave people free to explore concerns about possible conditions if they are suspecting this? I’m always happy to chat about concerns about behaviour if someone suspects eg adhd but not things like ‘I’m a bit OCD’ ‘she’s a bit on the spectrum’ ‘could your annoying neighbour have dementia’ etc?

Hi @OneFrenchEgg thanks for sharing your thoughts. We'll certainly have a chat about this. The guidelines do say, as you've noted, that we don't allow hate speech and this would include disablism and ableism. We try and avoid having site rules that are overly specific as we look at all reports on a case-by-case basis.

If you ever have questions or concerns about any aspect of our moderation, we're always happy to discuss it further. You can post here or drop us a line on [email protected]
