Gm gang,
In response to recent actions on the forum, we have updated the Community Guidelines.
The Community Guidelines were always meant to be dynamic and living. They’re intended to grow alongside the community and serve to ensure that every touch point of the NEAR ecosystem can serve to assist in our goal of onboarding the next 1 billion to Web3.
You can find the updates here:
You should not:
- Make personal attacks on other community members;
- Use defamatory remarks or make false statements against others;
- Post prejudiced comments or profanity;
- Post sexually explicit content;
- Post discriminating content, this includes content around religion and politics;
- Bully or make inflammatory remarks to other community members;
- Post spam;
8. Use inappropriate, threatening, or derogatory usernames
Failing to adhere to these rules may result in a permanent ban from the NEAR Governance Forum without warning.
It is up to the discretion of administrators (staff) on the forum as to what terms violate a rule.
Providing Constructive Feedback & Criticism
When you wish to share criticism or feedback around a proposal, thread, or comment on the forum, it’s essential you do so constructively.
This resource contains some wonderful tips on how best to do it.
We can boil that down into a handful of top tips for providing feedback:
- Be specific with your feedback
- Avoid making assumptions
- Refrain from criticising the individual rather than the substance of the topic at hand
- Provide recommendations for ways to improve
- Deliver a feedback sandwich
If you’re ever in doubt about whether a comment is appropriate for the forum, you can reach out to moderators and the @community-team at any time.
Always remember we’re looking to nurture a positive environment in which people can grow, collaborate, and work together toward a larger goal. Providing unconstructive feedback or, at worst, baseless accusations and ad-hominem attacks on any individual will not be tolerated.
Note: Do be aware that there is an extent to which the goal of openness and transparency reaches on an individual basis. You cannot, and should not, expect to receive in-depth answers to every question particularly when the questions are deemed excessive, inappropriate, or off-topic.
If you’d like to provide feedback regarding the Community Guidelines, please reach out to a member of the Community Team (@community-team) on the forum.
