Here are the core principles on which h2g2.com is based.
1. NO SPITTING. That started as a joke, but then we realised: no, we were right. Don't mess up the site. We live here.
1. Beware of the Leopard. There really is one, though not in a locked cabinet because we are very humane. Also, it's metaphorical. As CEO Robbie Stamp says, 'This is not another dystopian free-for-all.' In other words, we have governing bodies and order. It will always be clear who makes what decisions.
3. You are not "entitled to your opinion." As Douglas Adams put it: > All Opinions are not Equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated and well supported in logic and argument than others.
For this reason, we *will* continue to moderate and we *won't* allow Trolling. We encourage participation from people who from time to time are willing to accept that they might be wrong about something.
# Governance h2g2.com will move to a new structure, to be owned by its members. It will Never be sold out from under the members who produce it. There will be No Bait-and-Switch. Value is available through Tithes and Royalties – not the endless chase to Float on a stock exchange.
> It is a mistake to think that you can solve any major problems Just with Potatoes,' said Douglas Adams. He was probably right. So if you think of something we haven't thought of, let us know at [email address needed here, same as above]. Don't Panic!
Well, we *had* to say that, didn't we?
