THE GLORY TOWN CODE

In accordance with this here code, all members of Glory Town shall adhere to the following:

1. Act civilized. Kindly treat this discussion forum with the same respect due a valued community resource. This is a public place to share news, ideas, knowledge and interests related to the game through ongoing conversation—it's not the town dump. Please keep it clean; don't urinate on it or leave garbage.  Think how you might make it better for the next person who comes to visit.
2. Be kind. Glory Town folks are supportive and kind. They assume the best of intentions of their neighbors and visitors and try to imagine what others say and do in the best possible light. They think about the impact of their words and the privileges they hold. They consider the possible situations of those they interact with, which is likely unbeknownst. They try to improve the conversation instead of reacting to tone or inconsistency. Where possible, criticisms offer constructive  solutions and alternatives. Personal attacks are avoided. They would never seek to hurt, mock or upset one another.
3. Participate. Share your passion, ideas and efforts. The Glory Town community asks only that when you do, you consider your words and their impact and import. It's vital that Glory Town members offer opinions and discuss issues in a spirit of support, kindness, and inclusivity. Ponder your intent and act with integrity and love. Be positive and supportive of others as you would hope they would be of you.
4. Be creative. Don't be shy about saying and doing. Just consider your words, the privilege they hold, and the relative position of those they interact with. Where possible, criticisms should offer solutions and alternatives. Personal attacks, even indirect subtweeting, ain't right and should be avoided. No hurt, mockery, invalidation or erasure will be tolerated. Exemplify ideas which create rather than destroy.
