From time to time, Lighthouse publishes a new version of the Community Rules. This might happen when expectations are clarified, new rules are added, or existing ones are reworded for clarity. All changes are reviewed and approved by two staff members before they go live.
When a new version is published, every member needs to review and agree to it. This page explains what happens next.
When a new version of the rules is published, you'll receive an email notification letting you know. The email includes a link directly to the rules page so you can review and agree right away.
If you haven't agreed within two weeks of a new version being published, you'll receive a reminder email. The reminder includes a note that your access may be restricted if you don't agree soon.
You only receive this reminder once. If you get it, just visit the Community Rules page and complete your agreement.
If it's been a month since a new version was published and you still haven't agreed, your account may be temporarily restricted. You won't be able to access most of the site until you complete your agreement.
The restriction is lifted automatically as soon as you agree -- there's no waiting period and no staff action needed. Just visit the Community Rules page, check each rule, and click agree.
A restriction due to non-agreement doesn't affect your account data, linked accounts, or community history. Everything is waiting for you right where you left it as soon as you agree.
If you visit the rules page and see a message that you've already agreed to the current version, you're all set. You can return to the Dashboard or close the page.
