Code of Conduct

The 15 Minutes A Day Community is intended to be a place for collaboration, support, and brainstorming. This is a place for connecting with other users, learning new skills, sharing feedback and ideas, and finding all the support you need for your 15 Minutes A Day Projects. By participating in this Community, you are agreeing to the same Terms of Service that apply to 15MinutesADayProject.com, as well as this Community-specific Code of Conduct.

 

With this Code of Conduct, we hope to help you understand how best to collaborate in the 15 Minutes A Day Community Forum, what you can expect from moderators, and what type of actions or content may result in temporary or permanent suspension from Community participation. We will investigate any abuse reports and may moderate public content within the Community that we determine to be in violation of either the 15 Minutes A Day Project Terms of Service or this Code of Conduct.

 

The topics discussed here matter to us, and we want you to act as if they matter to you, too. Be respectful of the topics and the people discussing them, even if you disagree with some of what is being said.

​

The 15 Minutes A Day Community Forum is a professional space and should be treated as such.

 

Standards

Treat the 15 Minutes A Day Community Forum with respect.

​

  • Be respectful and considerate.

  • Be welcoming and open-minded. 

  • Communicate with empathy. 

  • Contribute in a positive and constructive way.

  • Improve the discussion. 

  • Be clear and stay on topic. 

    • Communicating with strangers on the Internet can be awkward. It's hard to convey or read tone, and sarcasm is frequently misunderstood. Try to use clear language, and think about how it will be received by the other person.

  • Keep it tidy. 

    • Don’t start a topic in the wrong category.

    • Don’t cross-post the same thing in multiple topics.

    • Don’t divert a topic by changing it midstream.  Rather than taking an existing topic in a radically different direction, open a new topic.

  • Be honest and trustworthy.​

 

What is not Allowed

  • Threats of violence. 

  • Hate speech and discrimination. 

  • Bullying and harassment. 

  • Spam. 

  • Copyrighted or illegal content. 

  • Anyone under the age of 18. 

    • If we learn or have reason to suspect that you are a user who is under the age of 18, we will unfortunately have to cancel your 15 Minutes A Day Community membership.

  • Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting. 

 

Enforcement

If you see a problem, report it. When you see bad behavior, don’t reply. It encourages the bad behavior by acknowledging it, consumes your energy, and wastes everyone’s time. Just report it

 

Our Responsibilities

There are a variety of actions that we may take in response to inappropriate behavior or content. Actions we may take in response to a flag or abuse report include, but are not limited to:

  • Content Removal

  • Content Blocking

  • Community Forum Account Suspension

  • Community Forum Account Termination

 

Let's work together to keep the forum a place where people feel safe to participate by being respectful of them and their time.

Legal Notices

We have a Terms of Service and Privacy Policy describing your (and our) behavior and rights related to content, privacy, and laws. To use this service, you must agree to abide by our Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy.

This Code of Conduct does not modify our Terms of Service and is not intended to be a complete list. 15 Minutes A Day retains full discretion under the Terms of Service to remove any content or terminate any accounts for activity that is "unlawful, offensive, threatening, libelous, defamatory, pornographic, obscene or otherwise objectionable or violates any party's intellectual property or these Terms of Service."
