Like everything in life, a good community works better when there are a few ground rules. The rules primarily apply to theInsteading Community Forums还有博客评论,但我们会在网站的其他地方强制执行。
规则1 -善待彼此。
We’re looking to build a community, not a cage match. Civil debate is encouraged. Personal attacks will be subject to removal, editing, or banning the user.
To help keep everybody accountable, we provide buttons that allow our community to “Report Comments” or “Report Users” and we take these reports seriously.
Rule #2 – Follow rule #1.
Seriously – the world needs more polite discussion. If you haven’t readThe Four Agreements, they basically describe how we expect people to act in the Insteading Community. Here they are, quoted fromtoltecspirit.com:
- Be Impeccable with your Word.
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the Word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your Word in the direction of truth and love. - 不要把任何事情放在心上。
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering. - Don’t Make Assumptions.
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life. - Always Do Your Best.
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.
规则3:把政治留在/政治/论坛,把宗教留在/宗教/论坛。
Both are important things to discuss, but they tend to distract from the topics at hand in many cases. We will police this policy on a reasonable level – if there’s a discussion about organic food that mentions upcoming legislation, that’s cool. But if you start shouting about Hillary and Trump in an unrelated thread, we’ll take the following steps, in order of escalation:
- Ask you to move that subconversation over to the appropriate thread.
- 删除或混淆不必要的仇恨或分裂言论。
- Ban or suspend accounts that appear to be trolling.
Rule #4 – If you’re selling something or promoting an event or workshop, that belongs in the appropriate /Announcements/ thread.
我们不是来卖你的东西给我们的社区的。If you want to advertise then we havebetter ways to do that.
规则5——如果你想推广你写的一篇博客文章,下面是怎么做的。
我们建议开始一个新的话题来讨论这个话题,并提供一个链接来查看你对这个话题的看法。我们很乐意为你的博客文章提供一些曝光度和流量,只要你在Insteading以一种能引发对话的方式发布博文。
Thin discussions that are basically a link and “What do you think?” will get deleted.
If you’re posting new stuff in the same forum daily, we will ask you to slow it down. Please only post your best stuff.
Rule #6 – These rules are subject to change whenever and however we deem necessary to promote the health of the overall community.
In this setting, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
If you’re doing something that adversely affects everyone else’s experience, we’ll take necessary steps to stop that activity.
