I've been an active member since April 2018. Following the honor code (Special:Honor_Code) (The nine points of the honor code cover; collaboration, accuracy, privacy, copyrights, credit, citing sources, shared mission of "keep information as free and open as possible", "assume that mistakes are unintentional", and "being courteous to everyone".) by giving others the benefit of the doubt has been the best way when dealing with such a large community of different personalities. When an issue arises there is a Problems with Members process to follow which is very helpful and is staffed by volunteer members (Help:Problems_with_Members).
The community has been encouraging and helpful when requesting assistance in the forum. Collaborating on shared ancestors was a new experience for me, but made perfect sense and I've enjoyed getting to know members from all over the world and learning about research in different countries.
The benefits of adding your tree and joining in a challenge and/or a project can't be beaten anywhere else.
