Be accurate, or say you don't know.
When you upload a simulation, fill the metadata honestly. When you comment, distinguish what you observe from what you speculate. When you cite, link the source.
Credit the work behind the data.
If a simulation is connected to a paper, link it. If you build on someone else's simulation, acknowledge them. The default licence is CC-BY — use the data, credit the author.
Discuss the science, not the scientist.
Disagreement is welcome. Personal attacks are not.
Don't upload what isn't yours to share.
Embargoed papers, proprietary force fields, datasets you don't own — don't upload them. Use the "private" visibility setting if you want to share with specific collaborators only.
No spam, no self-promotion that isn't useful.
Sharing your group's simulations is great. Spamming the same link across every comment thread isn't.
The AI guide is a tool, not a citation.
Verify before you cite. The guide draws on public databases — those are the sources, not the model.
