Middlesex Meetups Community Guidelines
This is a respectful, sex-positive community and we have a few guidelines to help maintain that atmosphere. We take the privacy and safety of our friends very seriously. These guidelines are non-negotiable and breaking them can, and likely will, result in your removal from the group. By joining our community, you are affirming you have read, understand and agree to adhere to these guidelines.
General
All members must be over the age of 21.
Members acknowledge they are participating in this group, the Slack channel and meetups of their own free will.
Members acknowledge they understand this group is sex-positive and will contain discussions about sex and imagery of a sexual nature.
While we don't expect our members to join every conversation, we do want them to participate and come to events when they can.
Slack Guidelines
We expect both members of a couple join Slack on seperate accounts.
Be sure you understand and accept the risks inherent in sharing photos and personal information online.
The downloading, screen-capturing or saving the photos posted by our members is forbidden.
Sharing the photos posted by our members, electronically or otherwise, on any and all platforms or formats is forbidden.
Sharing any photos posted elsewhere by non-members, electronically or otherwise, in our Slack channel is forbidden.
Only post photos containing people who have consented to having their images shared with this specific group, and only if those people are members of this group. If you share such a photo, please indicate you have received consent from the individuals pictured.
Refrain from posting photos or information that may identify individuals, private homes or venues without their consent or if they are not members of this group.
Refer to each other by their @SlackName or pseudonym, even if you know their real name.

We request both members of a couple to attend meetups together. We understand the occasional exception.
Dress and act appropriately for the venue, remembering our events are held at vanilla bars and restaurants.

Participation Expectations:
Our goal is to create a vibrant community where people are active participants. There is no expectation you'll post anything specific, but we ask that you participate in conversations as you feel comfortable and attend events when you can. If you're unable to come to events for three months, and aren't participating in Slack, your account will be deactivated. When your schedule opens up and you have an interest in attending events, please reach out and we'll happily reactivate your account. We hope this will help maintain an active membership.
