We have a strict policy and set of rules designed to protect all members that include, but are not exclusive to:
- Racism, homophobia, classism, ableism etc will not be accepted. Trolls, spammers, etc will have comments denied in the future. Constructive criticism is fine and will be reviewed if necessary if it treads on bullying grounds.
- No DMS and unsolicited friend requests or messages. This ensures we protect each other and no one is taken advantage of. Just because someone has replied to your comments a few times does not entitle you to private messaging. You MUST ask for permission publicly, and you MUST receive a public consent reply before messaging someone. Should someone break this rule please report it instantly.
- Boundaries are important and should be respected:
Respect that someone's boundaries may change over time, no one is obliged to explain reasons for this as they may be personal. Some topics others may not be comfortable with. Please do not expect to hear back right away/at all from other group members/commenters. Just because you are part of the same group, does not mean you are entitled to a response.
- Sexism will not be tolerated. This includes sexism aimed towards dyspraxia related issues, trans issues and more.
- Gatekeeping disabilities:
Can’t talk on behalf of other disabilities, or tell others with the same disabilities you have about how they are and not affected. Their experiences matter and deserve to be taken seriously.
- Respect privacy:
No talking publicly about people causing problems, but addressing problems through private interactions with admin should be done instead for investigation.
- Respect and treat others how you like to be treated.
