Etiquette

At daPride we try our best to allow oneself to express themselves with as little restrictions as possible. At the same time, in a somewhat conflicting goal, we try to protect the members as a whole from discrimination, prejudice and harassment to make a safe environment.

That said, we take more priority on making a safe environment due to the generally "unsafe" and everyday discriminatory nature that LGBT-etc people face in their lives, and we want to be at least one place where LGBT-etc people can come to be themselves without fear.

Commentary
Your conduct on daPride journals, polls, front page, our gallery's comment section, Note system, and correspondence as well as personal contact (that is about daPride) to the administrators should avoid the following:

  • Homophobic, biphobic, heterophobic, transphobic, or otherwise discriminatory, bigoted or hateful comments directed to any sexual orientation or gender identity, even if it isn't directed to any user in particular.

  • Racist, sexist, and other hateful or discriminatory comments directed to all protected groups (disability, sex, marital status, etc) as well as statuses such as weight, sexual history, mental health, etc, even if it isn't directed to any user in particular.

  • Insults, i.e. "b*tch", keep them to yourself.

  • "Bigot", "homophobe", "queerphobe", "biphobe", "hateful", "ignorant", etc. Keep your judgements and assumptions to yourself as it is too often we jump on the gun for these words. If you feel someone is posting homophobic/etc commentary notify an admin.

  • Stereotypes (presented in a clearly intended offensive manner), as an example, "lesbians just need to find the right man", "all gay men have AIDS", "asexuality is a disease", "bisexuals are sluts", "transgender people are mentally unwell", etc.

  • Excessively aggressive or harassing comments, or continuing to pursue contact after it is clear it is no longer wanted.

Exploits
No exploiting :smoking: Don't do the following:

  • Sockpuppet.

  • Advertise a group that is not an affiliate.

  • Spam or flood the group.

  • Circumvent a block.

Consequences?

There is no specific consequence except for sockpuppeting and block circumventing which will always lead to a permanent block from the group. All other offenses are judged individually on their severity and have no set consequence and we have no set "strike system" -- consequences are either a warning, a temporary block or a permanent block.


The new batch of moderators have been chosen!

Say hi to the new peeps that are to be helping everyone behind the scenes!
