The Basics
The rules of GeekCLE are simple; don’t be a jerk. That will include not being sexist, racist, ageist, homophobic, and not attacking people personally. The sharing of anyone else’s personal information will not be tolerated.
Geek CLE can for any reason at any time ban anyone without having to disclose the reasons. Use your judgement.
Also, don’t go breaking any Ohio or US Federal laws.
