We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
I am new to this platform, could you pls explain the terms which were there like contested, featured etc. i mean in the sense of this discussion
Contested generally is applied in response to reasonable reports contesting the facts of a post. In other words, even more so than normal anonymous posts on LI (which are also not fact checked), readers should beware that some or all of the facts asserted in the comment are probably incorrect, or impossible to verify in general or at the moment.
Featured posts are posts that are particularly nice, well-written or helpful, in the spirit of the LI community (like yours, which is a great question: we probably need to do more on explaining how the site works for newcomers, who haven't been reading or posting LI comments since the early days).
The 'trollish' tag can be similar to contested, but more than that, based on community reports (and yes, also on subjective moderator gut feeling), that the post does not add anything valuable to the discussion, does not reflect the LI community principles or is solely or mostly written to try and provoke or make someone angry (i.e., a classic internet troll).
