Q-Wave Listserv Posting Guidelines
Q-Wave strives to create an inclusive and safer community for our 500+ member community. Please be thoughtful and well-intentioned when engaging with this listserv. Utilizing this space to connect with other Q-Wave members is encouraged! With that in mind, we ask that you be mindful of our community guidelines when posting:
Keep Q-Wave’s mission statement in mind: Before you email, think about whether it aligns with our mission and serves our community.
Be kind and respectful: Please have and assume best intentions when interacting with people on the listserv. Remember that we’re all humans here!
Use your best judgment: The Q-Wave Steering Committee is fully volunteer-run, and we cannot moderate all activity within this community. This resource is shared by all members of our 500+ person listserv, so please use your best judgment when interacting with people you don’t know or responding to posts.
Limit commercial posts: You can advertise your business, but please be thoughtful about the service you provide and whether it would be helpful for our community.
No duplicate posts: Please only email once about your ask/event/initiative (though one reminder email for an event is okay).
Decide who you want to reply to: the original poster only or to the entire listserv.
In order to ensure that this listserv is a safer space, we ask that everybody agree to and abide by these guidelines—if you are unable to follow them, then you may be removed from the listserv.
