🌍 Community rules and guidelines

Be kind and courteous.

Let's put the spotlight on our shared values and leave the drama behind.
We're all in this together to create a welcoming environment! Healthy debates are natural but biting tones of voice only make things worse for everyone. Kindness wins every time.

Don't spam. Don't harass.

You know if you are hurting the community.
We expect you to be a respectful participant in our community. You may not attack someone or post something inappropriate, or be rude and aggressive towards other members of the community! This includes anything that disrupts this space for everyone - misinformation will not fly here either so stay on topic if possible.

Don't solicit business.

It is strictly forbidden to solicit business, either publicly in the group or through private messages. The community admins and moderators reserve the right to delete any posts that solicit business and will review to remove the partner group who solicit business publicly or in DMs.

Be relevant.

Content not pertaining directly towards the goals of the forum will get deleted as soon as they appear.

Once again, we are so glad you choose our platform. We look forward to following your journey to building a better future for youth.
