The Shape of Work (TSOW) Community Rules - Please read before posting

TSOW is a collaborative community, intended to provide a resourceful and friendly forum to Human Resources (HR) and People Operations (People Ops) professionals. It is therefore imperative that you, as a member, observe the following rules to uphold the mission/vision of this community. 1. A decent communication protocol must be adhered to. Foul language and use of abusive words/photographs in posts/profiles are STRICTLY prohibited. 2. It’s every member’s responsibility to go through the #announcements channel and the pinned messages on each channel before posting to see the policies for posting/subject topics/formats etc for each of the channels. 3. Do make sure that you provide the relevant references / original sources for every piece of material that has been reproduced from any other website / publication. 4. Strictly NO marketing on any channels (except #shameless-plug) for your products/services. Also, no third parties are permitted to make any commercial offers to members, via Direct Messaging (DM). Any sort of self-promotional post can ONLY be posted in #shameless-plug. Also, if we see a certain member only/frequently/consistently using the TSOW community to promote their wares, and not participating in conversations, adding any value - we’ll permanently ban them from the community. 5a. Spamming is considered as a very serious offense on TSOW. It includes one-line replies which have no relevance or do not contribute to the thread in any way. Posting the same post in multiple channels is also considered spam. It’s the member’s prerogative to go through the list of channels and find the right/most relevant channel to post their query in. If you can’t find a relevant channel/or you have a non-HR-related query, use the #random channel. 5b. Back-to-Back Whatsapp-style (one line at a time, multiple hard enter↵) posting is a nuisance and should be avoided. To add more content to your post, click the EDIT button using the 3 dots on right-hand corner of the post. Making use of the ‘Reply in thread’ functionality is mandatory when replying to a post/query. 6. No personal attacks on any member will be entertained. This includes any direct / indirect attempt at trolling. Any discriminating or derogatory comment will be dealt with severely. 7. Please use the Slack search feature before posting on topics that have already been discussed extensively before. Repeat threads are discouraged. 8. Sensitive discussions involving politics or religion are to be avoided, due to their highly subjective nature, which can lead to volatile and inconclusive debates. The community exists for the benefit of Human Resources and People Operations professionals. Nonobservance of the above-mentioned rules will lead to an immediate deletion of the concerned post with/without any notification to the concerned member. Repeated offenses will lead to the member being permanently banned from TSOW. We, the TSOW mods, work very hard in maintaining the quality of this community and would respect the same from your end. Thanks for your co-operation 🙏🏽 <!channel>
