Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

In US English, a, e, and i can usually be substituted for one another. Sometimes o as well.
"Compliment" and "complement" are two different words. Sorry, but you don't get to change that particular spelling if you want to be understood.
wrang.
And frequently, doing so changes the meaning entirely.

Okay, who invited Old English to the party?
Condiment as in "Hey nice guns." Not saucing them.
The word/homonym spelling you want in this case is 'compliment'.
