Community Leader Guidelines

Welcome! You’re now a Community Leader on Kyndr.

Community Leaders play a crucial role in fostering a positive and inclusive environment on Kyndr. As you embark on this exciting journey with us, here are some guidelines you should consider:

Establish Clear Community Guidelines: Identify the purpose of the community and the expectations for members.  Clearly outline what behavior is acceptable and what isn't.  Remember, your guidelines are reinforced by the policies and values of Kyndr that cover areas like harassment, hate speech, discrimination, and other forms of inappropriate behavior.

Promote Diversity and Inclusion: Actively encourage participation from individuals of diverse backgrounds and perspectives. Ensure that all community members feel valued and respected regardless of their race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or other characteristics.

Fair and Consistent Moderation: Apply moderation practices consistently and transparently. Avoid playing favorites or showing bias when enforcing rules. Ensure that consequences for violating community guidelines are fair and appropriate.

Listen to Feedback: Create channels for community members to provide feedback and suggestions. Take this feedback seriously and use it to improve the experience of all members and to protect the integrity of your community.

Lead by Example: Demonstrate the behavior you want to see in the community. Treat all members with respect and kindness, and refrain from engaging in behavior that could be seen as discriminatory or exclusionary.

Be Transparent: Be open about how decisions regarding moderation are made. Explain the reasoning behind certain actions and be willing to address concerns raised by community members.

Encourage Civil Discourse: Foster an environment where members feel comfortable expressing their opinions and engaging in constructive dialogue. Discourage personal attacks, inflammatory language, and other behaviors that detract from productive conversation.

By following these guidelines, community leaders will help cultivate a welcoming and inclusive environment where all members feel valued and respected. If you cannot follow these guidelines, please let us know and we will switch your account back to a member.

We're thrilled to have you on Kyndr, and we can’t wait to see what you create!
