Our code of conduct is inspired by our community Values
(honesty, integrity, courtesy,
respect, generosity, gratitude, positivity, open-mindedness, fun and a sense of
humor(!)) and simply emphasizes or specifies certain points with regard
to how one should act as a member of Quentin’s Friends.
Do’s & Don’ts:
- Do:
- Pay careful attention to the Posting
Guidelines.
- Read the listserv postings and help your fellow members when you can.
- Respond to every response you receive to a posting – if only to say ThankQ in some
way. See ‘Ways to say ThankQ’ in
our FAQ.
- Be mindful of your use of humor in responses to people you don’t know. If they do
not know you, they may not understand and/or take offense.
- For any transactions you enter into, confirm agreements with fellow members in writing.
- Advise us if a fellow member acts
in a way that is not consistent with our Values, Code of Conduct or Membership Agreement.
Don’t:
- Fail to show up for meetings with fellow members, without giving notice by phone
& email at least 3 hours in advance.
- Invite people to join Quentin’s Friends that you do not know well. Ask yourself
‘Would I invite this person into my home?’ prior to inviting them into our ‘virtual
home’.
- Send unhelpful, cynical or sarcastic responses to postings you receive.
- Use any rude, insulting or judgmental language when communicating with fellow members.
- Contact Quentin’s Friends support without first checking our FAQ for answers.
ThankQ!
