Here are the basic rules of this community:

The content of posts must match the section ("filter") they are posted in, news-type posts must have links, and only moderators may post to the Updates section. If you break any of these 3 rules, you will be warned, and after repeated offenses may be banned.
[
If a member has been reprimanded by a moderator for any reason, and at least one of the moderator's posts from outside of the community then receives even the slightest bit of unwanted activity from that member, then the member will immediately be banned from the community. This rule is in place to prevent unruly members from harassing or hassling vigilant mods.
]
The following is discouraged but allowed: repeated posting of the same content, posting theories about other sciences, and posting about conspiracies. If ever you commit one of these 'acceptable' infractions, you will be informed of the issue any time you do.

Whenever you post in the wrong place, a moderator will move your post to the right place and inform you of the movement. If you are unsure where to place a post, put it in the Unsorted section (in that case you might not be told about the post getting moved). Below you can find the standards for each section.


Sections' Standards:

"Unsorted Posts": If you are unsure where to place your post, then post it here. A moderator will move it to the right place for you.

"Debate Center": This is the main section, where theories about physics are proposed, posted, and discussed. If you do not have a position on the topic of your post, then it should be in the Debatable section, not the Debate Center.

"Debatable Questions": This is where topics of debate may be introduced when you do not have a proposal. If the topic posted already has an established answer and you are not disputing that answer, the post should not go here, rather it should be in the Answerable section, but you will not be punished for not knowing there was already an answer.

"Self-Publications": If you are posting your own official research papers, post them here with a link to the paper. The link must be to a formal scientific document, not simply a written theory. If it is someone else's paper, not your own work, then you may post it to the News/Facts section instead.

"Chat Center": This is a place for miscellaneous content. If you know your post is not about topics within physics (such as: the philosophy of physics, your experiences in the physics community, other sciences, or stuff outside of science), then it belongs here. The purpose of this place is personal conversation and community, talking about yourselves and hanging out, not serious discussion, although it is allowed.

"Community Updates": This is exclusively for moderator use only. You may not post here. This is for moderators to inform people about changes to the community.

"Answerable Questions": This is a place where you may ask about established physics, if you wish to become more informed. If it turns out there is not yet an established answer to your question, your post will be moved to the Debatable section, and there will not be any consequences for the initial misplacement of your post.

"Facts and News": This is a place where you may post the ideas of physics that the wider scientific consensus has currently determined to be fact, to form a sort of repository of established knowledge. This is also a place for sharing news about the broader physics community, including new discoveries. Posts about news should have a reporting tone, and must link to a reputable article or paper. If you wish to report on your own work, your post may not go here, rather it should be in the Debate Center if there is a theory, in the Publication section if there is formal research linked, or in the Chat Center if it is about your personal endeavors in the scientific community.

That's all for now.
