Code of Conduct

Simple guidelines, recommendations, and expectations between everyone in the Developer Marketing Community

The Developer Marketing Community is committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone in the Slack community. This Code of Conduct outlines our expectations to ensure a positive and respectful experience for everyone. We will enforce this code and we expect cooperation from everyone to help ensure a safe environment for everybody.

We do not tolerate any form of harrassment.

Harassment includes any offensive messages and comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, race, ethnicity, religion, technology choices, deliberate intimidation, stalking, and any inappropriate behaviour towards one another.

If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact the admins of the community.

We expect all community members to follow these rules at conference and workshop venues and conference-related social events.

Adapted from the Conference Code of Conduct.

 

Solicitation

We believe this community is an awesome, safe place to find inspiration, get insights, feedback, and support.

You can ask for help in #ask-anything, post job opportunities and availabilities in #jobs, share product launches, blog posts, moods, memes, and anything else in #share-anything.

However, we're strongly against soliciting in DMs. This community is built for members to discuss the work that they do and learn from one another. It is not intended to generate leads, harvest ideas, or directly ask for favors. 

It is NOT appropriate to DIRECTLY reach out to community members (using DMs) to

It’s totally fine to ask for these things publicly in #share-anything or #watercooler-chat and request responses via DM if you prefer.

DMs are great if you know the person and/or have agreed to chat about something beforehand, but unsolicited DMs to promote your product and/or be salesy will lead to account deactivation.

Please note: The #ask-anything channel is for asking questions in the community. It is not intended to ask for likes or feedback.

We believe you can bring enormous value to the slack and encourage you to engage with the community, but we will remove users who solicit from the community. Please keep it in public channels and ensure you have public consent before reaching out to anyone via DM.

Request an invite.
