Hello SAIL Community,
As we embark on this incredible journey together, it's crucial that we set the stage for positive, respectful, and meaningful interactions within our community. We're here to learn, grow, and connect, and that requires a space that honors each individual's unique voice, experience, and perspective.
Here are our community guidelines, crafted to foster an inclusive, respectful, and empowering environment:
Respect Diversity: We are a diverse community of leaders and learners from all walks of life. Honor each member's unique perspective. We value diversity of thought, so let's foster a culture that celebrates differences.
Promote Inclusion: Ensure your interactions encourage a sense of belonging for all members. We're innovating belonging here. Be conscious of the language and tone used in your discussions, and be considerate of all members' feelings and perspectives.
Champion Equity: Our aim is to create an equal platform for all voices. Let's champion equity, ensuring everyone feels heard, seen, and valued.
Zero-Tolerance for Hate Speech: Hate speech, discrimination, or harassment of any kind will not be tolerated. We are vehemently anti-racist, pro-LGBTQIA, and advocate for the protection of all marginalized communities. Any violation of this will lead to immediate removal from the community.
Open Communication: Feel free to express your opinions, but do so respectfully. Critique ideas, not people. Let's build each other up, not tear each other down.
Confidentiality: What is shared in the forum stays in the forum. Respect the privacy of others. This is a safe space for everyone to share their thoughts and experiences without fear.
Positivity: We're all here to learn and grow. Maintain a positive and encouraging attitude. Celebrate the victories of others and offer support during challenging times.
Stay On-Topic: Please keep discussions focused on the topic at hand. This helps maintain the forum's order and usability for everyone.
No Spam: Avoid irrelevant or promotional content. We're here to learn and grow, not to sell or advertise.
Moderation: Our moderators work to keep this forum safe, respectful, and on topic. Their decisions are final, and continuous disregard for their guidance may lead to removal.
Remember, this forum is our community. Each one of us plays a vital role in creating a space where we can all feel safe, respected, and empowered. Let's respect these guidelines and ensure this remains a beacon of inclusivity, respect, and positivity.
Happy Sailing!
