Welcome to Jimmy Bob's porch. This is a free and open forum. You can talk about what you love, disagree with people, and learn out loud. In exchange, we ask for respect and kindness, every time you key up.
- Be kind. Treat every operator like a neighbor. Disagree with ideas, never attack people.
- No hate. Slurs, attacks on someone's race, religion, ethnicity, nationality, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or age are not allowed.
- No threats or harassment. Do not threaten, stalk, dox, or repeatedly target anyone, on air or off.
- Keep it clean. No sexual content, and nothing involving minors in any sexual or exploitative way, ever.
- No harm. Do not encourage self-harm, violence, or illegal activity.
- Be yourself. Do not impersonate other members, real hams, public figures, or Jimmy Bob staff.
- No spam or scams. No selling, phishing, or chain promotions on the air.
- Respect the mic. One at a time, ID with your call sign, and hand the mic back when asked.
- Report honestly. If you report someone, tell us what happened. False reports are a violation.
- Listen to the moderators. Their decisions keep the porch friendly.
We may warn, mute, suspend, or remove anyone who breaks these rules or causes harm, at our discretion. Serious violations can lead to an immediate permanent ban.
