Mindhive Community Protocols
We’re genuine, interested and interesting. We are an open community and platform that exists to share ideas and perspectives from the world’s most insightful thinkers and doers.
We’re genuine, interested and interesting.
So we are:
Sharp and efficient, we get to the point as quickly as possible.
We say a lot with little.
We think about our audience and what they would like to hear.
We respect people’s time, intellect and situation.
We open people’s eyes to what’s possible.
We use the rational and emotional to connect.
We welcome thoughtful and civil discussion from a broad spectrum of viewpoints. Nevertheless, to maintain a safe and welcoming environment for a wide range of people to engage in meaningful conversations, we prohibit certain conduct.
Each participant in our community is responsible for maintaining these standards.
In deciding whether someone has violated the rules, we will take into account things like the context and nature of the posted information, the likelihood and severity of actual or potential harms, and applicable laws.
Violations of our rules may result in consequences such as account restrictions, limited distribution of your posts, and suspension of your account. Mindhive has the sole authority and final decision as to whether content or behaviour violates our rules.
Tell us if you see something unsafe, untrustworthy, or unprofessional. These Community Policies continually evolve to ensure our members have a safe, trusted, and professional experience on Mindhive.
Violating our community policies can result in action against your account or content.
These policies apply to all members. Depending on the severity of the violation, we may limit the visibility of certain content or remove it entirely. If you believe a particular item of content was removed in error, you can appeal from the link provided in the removal notice. Repeated or severe offences can result in a temporary or permanent restriction from Mindhive. If you believe the action taken on your account was in error, you can submit a request to appeal your case.\
