While we make every effort to allow as much freedom in our forums as possible, we are striving to create a safe and respectful community where all of us can feel comfortable discussing intimate details of our lives and join in solidarity as we try to survive and change the world around us.

All users of this site must agree to the following guidelines:

1. Remarks that are personally attacking, overtly confrontational, insulting, or otherwise silencing to fellow Icarus Project members are not acceptable under any circumstances. Please respond to people's arguments but do not attack anyone's character. If you cannot handle yourself and you treat other members of the community with blatant disrespect or harassment, you will receive one warning. If you do not change your behavior, you will be asked to leave the site.

2. Racist, sexist, homophobic, classist, and otherwise oppressive remarks will not be tolerated under any circumstances.

3. No advertising, no spam, no selling of products.

4. No pornography, nothing that will get us sued.

5. We are not dispensing legal or medical advice. The opinions of people posting on The Icarus Project website are not the opinions of The Icarus Project.

We reserve the right to remove posts and suspend posting privileges for users who refuse to follow the site's basic guidelines.

This site was originally created by people who are not only considered to have bipolar disorder and think that it has positive and beautiful aspects, but people who have a radical view of how this society should be dismantled and recreated.
