1. Respect our Attendance & No-Show Policy. No-shows and last-minute cancellations affect event availability, negatively impact hosts, and take spots from others on the waitlist. Respect the RSVP list.
  2. Be kind, respectful, and have fun. Our community thrives on kindness and respect. Let's continue fostering a positive atmosphere where we celebrate each other's accomplishments, share common interests, and simply have a great time together.
  3. Lift each other up. Support one another and help to create a safe space for all. If you see someone being treated poorly or if you encounter any issues, please speak up or reach out to our leadership team. Open communication is crucial, and we all play a role in nurturing a positive environment.
  4. Respect other communities and groups. There's room for all communities to coexist and thrive together. Let's encourage positivity and avoid negativity that brings others down.
  5. No spam, self-promotion, or for-profit activities. Please avoid spamming or excessive self-promotion. We do not allow events, activities, and sales for personal gain or commercial interest.
  6. This isn’t a dating arena. If you are looking for dates or romantic relationships, please be mindful of personal boundaries and don’t make other members uncomfortable. Even if it's in private, if you do not respect people's personal boundaries and make members feel unsafe in the group, it negatively affects our community as a whole and there may be consequences to your membership.
  7. Respect consent for DMs. Try to meet people in person and ask before messaging, avoid unsolicited messages, and stop if someone shows discomfort or disinterest. Respect others’ privacy and their choice to engage in online interactions.
  8. Respect privacy. Protect each other's privacy by not sharing personal information without explicit consent. It's equally important to safeguard your own sensitive information.
  9. Assume best intent and be kind to volunteers. Remember that our organizers, moderators, and event hosts are real people with real feelings. They are unpaid volunteers and only human — so we ask that you show them grace for mistakes. If an organizer or mod redirects you or warns you to stop doing something, it is generally to try to help you before you receive formal consequences. Harassment, threats, and outright rude or disrespectful language towards volunteers is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated.
