Welcome to MikesInfoBytes — a space where curiosity, conversation, and community come together. Whether you’re here for the stories, insights, or just to see what’s on my mind, I’m glad you’ve stopped by. To keep this space open, respectful, and worthwhile, here’s my philosophy and what I ask of you as part of the community.

💡 Bytes into our Community
I believe a great online community is built on respect, honest curiosity, and meaningful exchange. It should be a place where people feel safe to share ideas, challenge each other thoughtfully, and learn from different perspectives without fear of being shouted down or attacked.

🗣️ What I Expect from Commenters
Keep things respectful, even when you disagree.

Stay on topic — thoughtful tangents are fine, but no trolling or derailing.

Bring value: a new idea, a helpful link, or a personal take that adds to the conversation.

No hate speech, slurs, or personal attacks — period.

🚩 Flagging Inappropriate Comments
If you see a comment that crosses the line, feel free to flag it or call it out respectfully. This helps keep the space healthy. I can’t be everywhere at once, so your help is appreciated.

🧹 My Comment Removal Policy
I reserve the right to remove comments that are:

Abusive, threatening, or intentionally disruptive

Spammy, overly promotional, or clearly off-topic

Sharing misinformation or violating the site’s core values

That said, I welcome healthy disagreement and criticism—as long as it’s constructive.

🚫 Banning Policy
If someone repeatedly violates these guidelines after warnings or shows up just to stir the pot, I will ban them. The goal isn’t censorship—it’s to protect the space for everyone else.

Thanks for being here and helping shape the MikesBytes community into something thoughtful, honest, and real. Let’s keep it a good place to hang out and a place someone will want to stay and take a byte out of our insight.

— Mike
