Our Code of Conduct
The Gage exists to encourage our community and members to learn from and meet other community leaders. Here's what we expect from everyone who is a part of it:
If you have not read them, please read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. The Gage stands against all forms of dehumanizing or unlawful treatment of others, including but not limited to all forms of cyberbullyin
g, cyber-harassment, hate speech, or threats based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, caste, sexual orientation, sex, gender, gender identity, disability, or immigration status. As a community member, builder and leader, you know that communities are fundamentally about belonging — there's no need to be mean, rude, offensive, or antagonistically political. While it is fine to challenge the ideas or arguments of others in our Community, avoid calling them names or making disrespectful comments about them. If you and another member of our Community have a disagreement, make an effort to understand their points of view before you respond to them. And when you respond, strive to provide reasonable responses. Don't promote, solicit, or spam. There are plenty of places on the Internet for that; this is not one of them. We reserve the right, at our complete discretion, to remove any comments or statements that we or our systems identify as promotions, solicitations, or spam. Keep discussions relevant and reasonable. This is a Community about meaningful innovation, leadership, healthy ways to show up in our lives, community building, and related topics. We do not want you to feel limited or constrained to any specific topics or ideas, but topics or ideas that have no apparent relation to The Gage, community building, or our Community’s stated goals will likely not be relevant. Respect the privacy of others. In general, we'd love for everyone to be as open and transparent as they want to be, but we want their privacy to be respected. Please do not share anyone’s nonpublic personal information on our platform. Do not use our platform to dox, extort, harass, or spread false and disparaging rumors about others. What happens if someone violates the code of conduct? If we identify a violation, we may, at our discretion, opt to delete it without further comment and without notifying the person we might have concluded crossed the line. A first-time violation may receive a warning from us. A second-time violation may receive another warning. If more than two violations occur during a short period of time, such as within one month, we may take further action. Violations of our Anti-Intolerance guidelines are most likely to result in a permanent ban. Thanks for reading and for helping to keep this page and community a place we're all excited to be a part of! If you believe someone has violated our Code of Conduct or if you have any questions, comments, or concerns about our Code of Conduct, please contact us in a message, or via email: team@thegage.com
