Community Guidelines

Last updated 30 October 2026

The Circle is where the records get questioned: ancient sites, artifacts, texts, sightings and released files. Six rules keep it sharp, fair and worth reading.

1. Evidence first

Link the source for factual claims and figures. Say when you are speculating. Fabricated quotes, measurements, documents or photos are removed and can lead to a ban.

2. Label opinion and theory

Alternative theories are welcome, in the Theories circle or clearly labelled elsewhere. Do not present them as established fact.

3. Be civil

Disagree with ideas, not people. No harassment, threats, slurs, hate based on identity, or dogpiling. No sharing anyone's private information.

4. No spam

No advertising, affiliate spam, vote manipulation, multiple accounts or repeated posts. New accounts can include one link per post for their first few days.

5. Respect sites and the law

Do not encourage trespass, looting, damage to monuments or illegal trade in antiquities. Do not post content you do not have the right to share.

6. Images and sightings

Share your own photos or openly licensed images and say where and when they were taken. Do not post edited images as genuine.

Age

You must be 13 or older to create an account.

Reporting

Use Report on any post or comment. Reports go privately to moderators, who may remove content, lock threads, or suspend accounts for a set period or permanently. Moderators log every action.
