Community Guidelines

Our community is only as great as the people in it. The purpose of this group is to connect people who work in content. Join this group to learn, share, support and contribute, not promote.

Here are a few simple rules to guide our interactions in the community:

    .1Everyone deserves to be treated with respect. The goal of this group is to build each other up, not break them down. Discrimination of any kind won’t be tolerated. If you see it, please report it. We have removed people in the past and will do so in the future if needed. One strike and you’re out.
    .2Before you DM someone, please ask their permission in a public channel. It’s great if people want to connect over DM but we should be mindful of harassment. If you are getting unsolicited DMs, please report it to Eric Doty via Slack DM. Similar to rule #1: one strike and you're out.
    .3Don’t use @here and @channel. Moderators will use those from time to time to share updates, but they should not be used to draw attention to your posts.
    .4Please only promote your own stuff in the #promo channel. We're excited about your article, webinar, or event too, but if everyone posted their promo in random channels, things would get messy fast.
    .5There’s a fine line between connecting with others and selling to them. We want you to make good connections. If those connections result in business being done, that’s great. But please don’t solicit other members inside Slack or over email. “I saw you’re also in the Superpath Slack…” is not a good intro for an unwanted sales email.
    .6No backlink or guest post spam! Please feel free to ask for quotes or expertise in #content-collab, but don’t just swap posts. Seriously, it makes the internet a worse place. Anything related to link exchange will be taken down and your account may be deactivated.
    .7Please use the right channels, e.g. if you have a career question, use #work-career-advice rather than #content-strategy-questions. If you have an SEO question, use #content-seo-questions, not #content-b2b. This keeps Slack organized and makes it easier for people to consume/contribute. Along these same lines, please do not post the same thing in multiple channels.
    .8Reply in threads! Threads make it easy to follow conversations and prevent channels from getting messy. We will ask folks to move comments into threads and may delete posts that clutter the channels. (If you're not sure what a thread is, see the video!)  https://www.loom.com/share/dc704b9bc02e433c9346ddbe2430cd8d

    .9Put some effort into your questions. A good question is specific and comes with plenty of context. The more effort you put into your question, the better the answers will be. Add as much detail as possible to help others help you.
