Code of Conduct 🤝

Purpose

Agencies Anonymous’ (AA) goal is to create a space where agencies and members can connect and share industry information, events, candidates, leads, and other goodies with each other. Our goal is to build an atmosphere of collaboration rather than competition.

Do not ask to join if you are simply here to promote your work or get the juicy details on other agencies. We are interested in building a community, not a cheap place to spam or steal work. You will get from AA what you put in.

Principles

AA is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of AA participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any venue, online or physical.

Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

Members asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

If a member engages in harassing behavior, the AA organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from any AA community or event. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of the AA admin team or Chuck Pearson directly through Slack.

Members of the Admin Team:

Avatars

In order to track conversation more easily and cut through the clutter, we ask that you set a custom avatar on Slack. This is a requirement. No egg heads.

Use Good Judgement

It’s the responsibility of members to use good judgement when participating in the community. To protect the community and its members, AA may remove content posted with poor judgement, or remove members who repeatedly demonstrate poor judgement.

Assume Good Intent

For the sake of healthy discource, it’s asked that all members extend grace, interpret generously, and assume that others have good intent when participating. To be fair, AA also Assumes Good Intent when it comes to moderation.

Celebrate One Another

Members are encouraged to share things that are exciting to them personally, even if it means sharing minutiae. When members are talented, celebrating small wins, small launches, or other bits of work is incredibly interesting and also makes for a more positive community.
