Board rules

These rules are disclosed to clarify the various responsibilities of all community members here on soulFriend_Collective. They shall be adhered to by everyone to ensure that our board runs smoothly and provides a fun and productive experience for all of our community members and visitors.

  1. BYLAWS

    1. Self Accountability
      Self accountability is the capacity to see a larger picture of how cause and effect work in our reality. It is actively trying to understand what part we want to play in our environment and with how much integrity, responsibility and honesty. When we truly understand our value, we begin to see our effects on the world. Being aware of this cause and effect, and knowing we have all the power in the universe to change reality as we see fit, makes us take responsibility for ourselves and how we affect our environment.

      “When the wrong man uses the right means the right means work in the wrong way.”

      – Alan Watts #
    2. Open Source
      Open Source philosophy is self explanatory. Human knowledge belongs to the world. If “knowledge is power”, then shouldn’t those people or systems that purposefully and actively withhold knowledge from us and hoard it from us be considered our enemies?

      “I started reading books about the history of education, and how this education system was developed, […] and this led me down this path of questioning things, and once I questioned the school, I questioned the society that built the school, I questioned the business that the school was training people for, I questioned the government that set up this whole structure.

      -Aaron Swartz #
    3. System of Truth™ is the idea that our current hyper-connected and hyper-informed society has unknowingly created an environment in which information can no longer be contained succesfuly by those “in charge”. The new flow of data has catalyzed the emergence of systems that value transparency in order to create solid foundations, and now those systems are finding each other organically to create a better consensus of reality.

      “Truth is the property of being in accord with fact or reality.[1] In everyday language, truth is typically ascribed to things that aim to represent reality or otherwise correspond to it, such as beliefs, propositions, and declarative sentences.”

  2. RULES OF ORDER

    1. Code of Conduct

      1. Social Behavior
        First things first. This is my board. My home online. Just like in IRL, you are here because you where invited, and that invitation is extended with the purpose of growing a repository of past, present and future memories between us. With that said, just like in my IRL home, there are some conditions for that invitation is conditional and I reserve the right to revoke it for any reason I see fit.
        With that said, these are the non negotiable terms.
        Insulting or harassing members will not be tolerated. We want soulFriend_Collective to be a safe and productive environment for everyone.
        We do not condone harassment against anyone, for any reason. Harassment includes deliberate intimidation and targeting individuals in a manner that makes them feel uncomfortable, unwelcome, or afraid.
        Members asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. We reserve the right to respond to harassment in the manner we deem appropriate, including but not limited to expulsion without refund and referral to the relevant authorities.
        This code applies to every member of soulFriend_Collective and is meant to be upheld both in the network as well as IRL.
        Anyone can report harassment. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, you can contact an admin.
        The experience and benefits from this network are what each individual makes of it. As a community, we can create something amazing together, but that all starts with a strong community.
        Good Times. #
      2. Posting
        The reason for a slow pace in this board is to allow the users to think about their responses. No need to rush to conclusions in a discussion. No more missing the chance to deliver the perfect comeback.
        Basically take your time, don't spam, stay on topic and be of value to the board and the community. #
      3. Goals

        I imagine that future generations will find enough data peppered throughout this board to write compelling papers about how I changed the future of the internet from my desk.
        For now, I think I can simplify the craziness in my head to a few simple goals for this forum.
        1) Communicate with friends in a simple social media setting with no pressure.
        2) Collect and preserve a record of our memories together in #
      4. And another one.... #
      5. This is the last one. For now.

        Foking behave so we can keep this list short. #
  3. STANDING RULES
    ###
    These rules are related to the details of administration rather than parliamentary procedure. Motions the community adopts over the course of time. They will be related to policy and administration. The main goals are to create a transparent, efficient, and legal area of commerce and trade
