Community Guidelines

Welcome to The Community Community! ✨

The purpose of this space is to provide a trusted, safe environment for senior community professionals to learn, candidly discuss challenges, and grow together. To maintain this space, all members are required to read and adhere to the guidelines below.

Core Guidelines

1. Confidentiality & Privacy

• What is shared here stays here. Do not share screenshots, quotes, stories, or internal discussions outside this space without express written permission from the original author.

• Protect member data. Do not harvest, share, or export any member's personal or professional information.

2. Respect & Professional Conduct

• Engage with courtesy, empathy, and respect. Differing viewpoints and constructive debate are encouraged, but personal attacks, inflammatory language, bullying, and prejudice will not be tolerated.

3. Strict No-Solicitation Policy

• This space exists for individual professional growth, not commercial lead generation.

• If you are an employee, founder, or consultant associated with a community product or service agency, you are welcome to participate as a peer. However, direct pitches, promotional posts, cold DMs, and lead harvesting are strictly prohibited.

4. Slack Etiquette: As a senior community professional, standard platform etiquette goes without saying, but please keep the following operational standards in mind:

• Channel Context: Post in topic-relevant channels and avoid cross-posting the same message across multiple channels. Use thread replies (Reply in thread) to keep main feeds readable.

• Direct Messaging: Do not send unsolicited DMs for sales, pitches, or networking spam.

• Consensual Connections: Ask for permission in a public thread before moving to private DMs for informal advice or networking.

5. Inactive Account Policy: To maintain high-quality engagement and protect community trust over time, accounts inactive for an extended period may be archived or removed to ensure our directory stays active and relevant.

6. Enforcement & Reporting

We actively moderate this community to protect our culture. Violations may result in a formal warning, temporary suspension, or permanent removal at the discretion of the leadership team.

• Reporting Violations: Please contact hello@thecommunitycommunity.com or DM a member of the Board directly with details or screenshots of any incident. 

• Updates & Amendments: The leadership team reserves the right to modify these guidelines, enforcement actions, or reporting procedures at any time as necessary to ensure the health of the community. Continued participation following any updates constitutes acceptance of the modified terms.
