HAS A POST OF YOURS BEEN DELETED?
READ THIS SO YOU WON'T GET DELETED TOO.
Read this before you post... So bad things won't happen to good people. Repeated disregard for these Guidelines could result in YOUR REMOVAL from our group without warning... we do this from a place of love...
________ GOALS and GUIDELINES ________
This place is about The 99 Declaration and topics related to the movement. That's pretty much it.
The 99 Declaration is about helping to build The 99 Declaration and helping to provide some focus to the movement. And again, that's pretty much it.
We are working toward these goals in two ways;
ONE: Providing a “central” place that anyone on facebook can find up to date news and information regarding The 99 Declaration. This is possible because of the wonder of social media and our fantastic members. So this group, specifically, our stream of information gets better every time we add another active member! It truly is amazing what interested and concerned "occupiers" can do when we have a focused and intentioned purpose...
TWO: “Centralize” The 99 Declaration Message with an ongoing dialogue about what's truly important to the 99%. We know that OWS has already succeeded because of the recent change in our nation's dialogue. There has been a new focus on the needs of the 99%...
Depending on who you ask, many leaders inside and outside Occupy feel that it's time to focus our message to either ensure our survival or to build the power needed to really move the needle in our dysfunctional society...
The 99 Declaration is here to try and help with focusing our energy, discussion and passion on SOLUTIONS.
The 99 Declaration has some distinct goals and we will assume that your presence here is means you are “like-minded”.
In that spirit, let's discuss a few things...
Any large group with goals needs some ground rules to make sure we can get to where we want to go. Our desire to be a great source of The 99 Declaration information means that we WON'T be able to post "just anything".
It has to be related to The 99 Declaration... in some way. If it isn't, you should be posting on a different group or on a different wall. It's that simple.
At this point, you might be asking what we mean by “related to the The 99 Declaration”. We are pretty much talking about the obvious. It would have to do with the movement's physical and ideological presence- feet and tents on the ground, marching and occupying as well as our struggle in the media, youtube videos and blogs- the ideas. If it's The 99 Declaration, post it.
_________________________________________
CURRENT EVENTS : is it ABOUT Occupy or The 99 Declaration?
This means that some pretty important stuff [certainly to you!] might need to be posted in a different group.
If you aren't sure - Ask an admin -
_________________________________________
MUSIC / VIDEO : Sure. As long as it's The 99 Declaration-related and NOT marketing or soliciting... At ALL. If it is - it will be deleted and so will you.
_________________________________________
Politics? Yes!
CAMPAIGNING? NO.
Politics is definitely part of the occupy movement. No better example than the NDAA... or SOPA
As well as the local politics regarding your own encampment- and the mic checks that will become more frequent in 2012. The Days Of Action are also QUITE Welcome... #S17, #D14,#J17, #M1 - you get the picture...
________________________________________
RECOMMENDING VIOLENCE as an answer in our struggle...
There hasn't been a violent movement for social change that's worked. It doesn't exist.
Violence on an occupier's part is a FAILURE. On a personal basis and ultimately for the movement.
Don't post it. Both you and your post will be immediately removed.
_________________________________________
Of course, SPAMMING, FLAMING, TROLLING or MERCHANDISING is offensive and won't be tolerated... You will be removed right after your post.
_________________________________________
HERE'S THE DEAL with attitudes and actions...
You should remember that your behavior in these threads represents who YOU are and WHAT The 99 Declaration is.
BE NICE OR GO AWAY...
You MUST take responsibility for the energy you bring to this space. There is no other alternative. If you continually bring negativity with no solution, you will eventually be gone.
_______________________________________
Remember! If you aren't sure CONTACT one of the moderators and ASK...
This is truly what could keep you- a caring and responsible member from being perceived as other than caring and responsible...
IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES... YOU POST WILL BE DELETED... And if you repeatedly violate these guidelines, you won't be able to be a part of this group.
__________ NOW HERE'S WHY ___________
Look, we aren't control freaks... As you know, one of the pillars of The 99 Declaration is Free Speech... We would LOVE to work the “free-form, post as you will or want to” that we did in the past... But it just isn't conducive to our goals.
Our commitment is to responsibly manage our wall/message. Not censor anyone.
So if you are with us... Stay with us!
If you aren't, you might just want to leave now...
Here is the process for those that violate terms of use that the Moderation SubCommittee came up with and will be put in place:
Infractions will be treated with a 3 strike rule as follows:
1 – verbal warning
2 – 24 hour ban
3 – permanent ban
1) Swearing will NOT be tolerated. That includes usernames.
2) Be polite. Personal attacks will be subject to the 1-2-3- strike rule
3) Treat new members with respect. Remember we were all ‘new’ once.
4) False praise and sarcasm are unacceptable, be constructive, tactful and sincere.
5) Stay on topic in threads or start new threads if it is off point from the original post.
6) Spamming of any sort will not be tolerated including links to other websites.
