Hey everybody!
Yellowrockonline is a public community. Everyone is welcome to participate here regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, appearance, or anything else that makes up a person. Not only is everyone welcome, we want everyone to feel comfortable and feel safe.
To make that happen, we present these rules of conduct that we promise to enforce.
Public Actions
There are many different public actions you can take on Yellowrockonline. These rules of conduct apply to all of them.
- Creating new posts
- Commenting on posts
- Anything else in which you create something or directly communicate here on Yellowrockonline or through Yellowrockonline
Yellowrockonline Meetups
Everything in this Code of Conduct applies to in-person and online Yellowrockonline Meetups in addition to use of the website.
Unacceptable
In any of those public actions, any content of the following kind is unacceptable:
- Pornographic / Sexual
- Bigoted
- Sexist
- Racist
- Rude
- Attacking
- Intimidating
- Harassing
- Stalking
- Disruptive
- Offensive
- Spam
This isn’t a complete list. It’s so you understand the vibe here. You know what being a jerk is; don’t be one.
We’re not going to put swearing on the list, as we feel that’s a bit different. Crude, perhaps, but not the kind of offensive we’re trying to police. We very likely won’t promote or feature any content with swearing in it, however.
Also important: don’t take credit for other people’s work, post spam, or post anything that is illegal / violates copyright to Yellowrockonline. That is covered in our Terms of Service.
Who decides what is unacceptable?
We do. Team Yellowrockonline. We realize there may be some subjectivity to these calls. We’re going to err on the side of keeping the Yellowrockonline community feeling safe and comfortable. We’re also going to err on the side of someone telling us they are offended or being made uncomfortable. But again, ultimately it’s our call.
Remember: you don’t get to decide how other people feel about your actions, they do.
What hapens when an unacceptable action has occurred?
If it is harmful content, we’ll delete it.
If you’ve been notified of unacceptable behavior, we expect it to stop immediately.
We understand that everyone makes mistakes, has bad days, and has learning to do when it comes to this stuff. We’re not going to delete your account for being slightly rude. But, we will delete your account and ban you for egregious or repeated violations.
How to report unacceptable actions
The best way is to submit a support request via email. Just let us know what’s going on and we’ll handle it as soon as we can.
Acceptable
