The provisioning and content of the policy of your community is an essential element in the communities structure, growth and the nature of the social interaction within the community. At the very least this should include data protection information, information on your countries equivalent to the Act on Responsibility for Electronic Bulletin Boards under the Swedish Code of Statutes: SFS 1998:112, general country guidelines and organisational information. If you are a member of Barnraiser you can find out more information on this and obtain example texts with explanatory background material.

etiquette

1. Do not be defamatory to anyone in anyway.
2. Do not mock or denigrate other contributors beliefs (such as religious beliefs).
3. Do not assume you know what someone else believes or thinks. Ask them before jumping to conclusions.
4. Be friendly and polite. It's not hard. Everyone can do it.
5. It you are angry by what you read DO NOT comment. Calm down, think and only then consider commenting.
6. Once you've said it you've said it. If you regret what you say then you should apologise. Even begging an administrator to remove content won't work. Once you've hit the "add" button your comment is live for life. Think before you contribute

Do to others as you would have them do to you.

Describe the structure (your articles of association), goals and mission of your organisation. Divulge any information regarding policy, decision making procedure and structure that may affect the members rights.

Document how administrators are appointed. Document the rules that they adhere to and the complains procedure should a person see an administrator abuse their role.
