Slack Community Guidelines

General Guidelines: 

• Respectful Communication: Use appropriate language and avoid offensive or discriminatory content. 

• On-Topic Discussions: Keep discussions relevant to the purpose of the channel.  Not sure where it goes?  Use #general. 

• Professional Conduct: Maintain a professional demeanor in all interactions. You never know when you’re talking to your future coworker. 

• Channel Etiquette: Use proper grammar and spelling.  You know this crowd...you will be edited! 

Specific Guidelines: 

• Resource Sharing: Members are encouraged to share resources that may be of interest to other members. That said, posts to this community are only saved for 90 days. 

• Asking Questions: Feel free to ask questions of the community. 

• Business Promotion: Businesses are not allowed to post about their products or services for sale. Contact PMJA staff about opportunities to sponsor events and content. 

Channel Structure: 

• Specific channels exist for each meet-up group, various job roles and affinities.  If you’re looking for something that you don’t see, just ask in #general and we can direct you or create a new channel if it makes sense. 

• Locked channels require invitation. 

Consequences of Violations: 

• Warnings: Repeated violations of the policy may result in warnings. 

• Temporary Bans: Persistent violations may lead to temporary bans from the channel. 

• Permanent Bans: Severe violations or repeated offenses may result in permanent bans from the channel.

• Reporting Violations: If you witness a violation of the policy, please report it to a channel moderator or the PMJA leadership.
