Why are Rules in a Community important?
Rules in a Community are more than just a list of do’s and dont's. Your rules are instrumental in promoting a sense of order and harmony and enabling group members to express themselves, interact, and safely engage with others.
1. Safety and Security – Maintaining the safety and security of your members is a broad undertaking. It encompasses cybersecurity and cyber-bullying, ensuring your community members’ digital safety and emotional well-being. It often involves rules about privacy, anti-harassment, and harmful content control.
2. Conflict and Dispute – This involves establishing rules to ensure fairness and consistency while handling member conflicts. These rules should outline the roles of administrators and moderators and the consequences of rule violations.
3. Inclusion and equality – The purpose of your community lies within its name – “unity.” The goal of building a community is to bring people together.
To do that, a welcoming atmosphere must be established from the very beginning. Rules related to this ideal typically prohibit hate speech and discrimination.
4. Social Cohesion and Cooperation – Emphasize the purpose of an online community and uniting people over shared interests. Rules promoting this encourage respectful communication, active participation, and consideration of others’ viewpoints.
