Terms of Service

There are rules that all owners are expected to abide by:

  1. Be kind and courteous

We’re all in this together to create a Welcoming environment. Let’s treat everyone with respect. Healthy debates are natural, but kindness is required.

  1. No promotions or spam

Self-promotion, hashtags, spam and irrelevant links aren’t allowed.

  1. Not hate speech or bullying

Make sure everyone feels safe. Bullying of any kind isn’t allowed, and degrading comments about things like race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender or identity will not be tolerated.

  1. Respect everyone’s privacy

Being part of this group requires mutual trust. Authentic, expressive discussions make groups great, but may also be sensitive and private. What’s shared in the group should stay in the group.
