Community Guidelines
About the Community
The Campus Founders Community is where entrepreneurs and co-innovators come together to build meaningful connections, share experiences and knowledge, and exchange ideas, fostering startup success and a dynamic ecosystem.
Core Values
We strive to create an inspiring, empowering and active community, so we ask that all members agree to live by the following values when participating in the community.
- As a Community, we value giving before receiving, collaboration over competition, and courageous action over sticking to the status quo.
- We believe that our Community only works if we all contribute to it.
- We share knowledge und offer help to other members in our Community.
Code of Conduct
Our Community is a safe, trustworthy, and respectful environment for everyone, and behaviors against these guidelines will result in immediate removal from the Community.
- Safe: Our platforms are safe, inclusive, and empowering, where harassment, discrimination, or abusive behavior of any kind will not be tolerated.
- Trustworthy: Our interactions in the Community are driven by good intentions and an enthusiastic community spirit, therefore creating a space that emphasizes support, knowledge sharing, and respect for the property and privacy of others.
- Respectful: Our Community is a professional environment where offensive language and hate speech are not tolerated. We value acceptance, tolerance of diverse opinions, and uphold the Golden Rule-treating others as we wish to be treated-to foster a supportive and inclusive community.
Your Responsibility
These guidelines apply to all who register, post, and engage in the Community. We expect our members to follow the spirit and letter of these guidelines across all interactions within Campus Founders and our Community. Failure to act according to these guidelines may result in the removal from the Community, as Campus Founders reserves the right to revoke access to the Community at any time.
Slack Code of Conduct
The Campus Founders Community Slack channel is a way for our members to connect digitally with one another, to ask and answer questions related to the entrepreneurial journey, and to share knowledge, resources, and upcoming opportunities.
Do
-
Ask questions
More often than not, someone in the community has encountered a similar problem that you have. The community is here for a reason - ask away!
-
Answer questions
According to our values of giving before getting, help your fellow founders and innovators by answering questions or providing connections where you can.
-
Say hello to new members
and welcome them into the community. A 👋 emoji goes a long way – just sayin’.
-
Post content in the appropriate channel
Help keep our channels organized by using the descriptions of each channel to help determine where your post fits.
-
Share any upcoming opportunities or resources
We invite you to inform other members about any upcoming events, resources, or opportunities in the relevant channels.
-
Report violations
If you witness any violations of this Code of Conduct, please report them to the Community Manager.
-
Remember
The value you get out of Slack is equal to the value you put into it.
Don't
-
No harassment, discrimination, or exclusionary behavior of any kind.
We seek to be an inclusive and empowering community, where we do not discriminate against anyone for any reason. Behaviors against our Community Guidelines will not be tolerated.
-
No spam, unsolicited advertising, or self- promotion
The Slack channel is meant for conversation, knowledge sharing, advice, and connection within our community, not to source clients, survey responses, votes, social media likes, financial contributions, etc.
- There are certain channels designated for these kinds of requests – keep all of these requests and call to actions inside the appropriate channels – the Community Team reserves the right to remove promotional posts outside of appropriate channels.
- If you’re asking for feedback (like your website design or product features), please do so in a way that is truly seeking advice, not to sneak in a promotional post.
- Vendors or consultants may not reach out to members in comments or DMs unless explicitly invited to do so by the member.
-
No double posting
Please don’t post repetitive messages across multiple channels – instead, find the most appropriate channel for your content and share it there.
-
Do not tag the channel
(🚫 @Channel). This causes unnecessary notifications for members who do not necessarily want to be notified about certain posts.
With the support of the Campus Founders Community team, we want to empower every community member to participate and moderate this space. As such, if you see a post in our community that does not meet our guidelines, please let one of the Community Team know. Thank you for your help keeping our community safe and thriving!
First time offenders will be warned and educated on proper community etiquette. Campus Founders reserves the right to remove repeat offenders from the Slack community and can lead to banishment from other Campus Founders offers.
