Code of Conduct
How we treat each other — "I'm You, You're Me" in practice
"I'm You, You're Me." This Code is an expression of that philosophy in practice.
The SIC community is only as strong as the integrity of its members. This Code of Conduct is not a list of rules handed down from above — it is a set of commitments we make together, to each other, as members of the same community.
Our Core Commitments
Respect in Every Interaction
Treat every member with dignity — in community spaces, events, and all SIC-related communications.
Radical Honesty
Communicate truthfully and with care. We don't manipulate, gaslight, or mislead members or staff.
Protect the Space
What is shared in SIC community spaces is shared in trust. We respect confidentiality where it's established.
Own Your Impact
If you cause harm — intentionally or not — you take responsibility, apologize, and work to repair it.
Honor Diversity
We actively welcome and respect diverse backgrounds, identities, perspectives, and lived experiences.
Support Each Other's Growth
We celebrate wins, offer honest feedback, and hold space for each other through challenges.
What Is Not Acceptable
- Harassment, bullying, or intimidation of any form — including online
- Discrimination based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, or any protected characteristic
- Sharing another member's private information without their consent
- Bad-faith engagement: trolling, manipulation, or deliberate disruption
- Using SIC spaces to exploit or take advantage of other members
- Any behavior that undermines trust, psychological safety, or the integrity of the community
Reporting & Response
If you witness or experience a Code of Conduct violation, you can report it confidentially at admin@socialintegrity.community or through the platform's reporting feature. All reports are taken seriously and handled with care, confidentiality, and fairness.
Consequences
Violations may result in a warning, temporary suspension, or permanent removal from SIC — depending on severity and pattern. Our goal is always restoration when possible, and protection of the community when necessary.
We believe in the humanity of every member. The Code of Conduct exists not to punish, but to protect the community we're all building together.
