The Usage Rules for Shopware United Slack Group

It is important to us to enable our community members to have a good and valuable exchange. As the community grows, it’s harder to maintain this standard without some rules to steer us in the right direction.

General Rules:

  • Your “Display Name” should include your company name like “John Doe (MyCompanyName)”
  • Keep public conversations in English
  • Use the dedicated language channels for discussions other than English
  • No advertising & no promotion for services/businesses
  • No tagging of “all” or “channel” allowed to to reduce the notifications you’re getting, but feel free to tag individual members in threads if you believe they can add value
  • Try to answer posts in threads to keep the community organized
  • We would love it if most of the conversations happen in public conversations (not in DMs), as the whole community benefits from sharing insights publicly
    Shopware United board members can be easily recognised by the :shopware-united-icon: sign. This is therefore reserved for SWU board members only
  • This Slack channel does not replace the official Shopware Slackroom, which should still be used for technical topics

Expected Behavior:

  • Be welcoming
  • Be kind
  • Look out for each other

Unacceptable Behavior:

  • Conduct or speech which might be considered sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist or otherwise discriminatory or offensive in nature
  • Do not use unwelcome, suggestive, derogatory or inappropriate nicknames or terms
  • Do not show disrespect towards others. (Jokes, innuendo, dismissive attitudes.)
  • Intimidation or harassment (online or in-person)
  • Disrespect towards differences of opinion
  • Inappropriate attention or contact. Be aware of how your actions affect others. If it makes someone uncomfortable, stop.
  • Not understanding the differences between constructive criticism and disparagement
  • Sustained disruptions
  • Violence, threats of violence or violent language

Enforcement:

  • Understand that speech and actions have consequences, and unacceptable behavior will not be tolerated
  • If you are the subject of, or witness to any violations of this Code of Conduct, please contact us via email at [email protected] or a SWU board member here (marked with :shopware-united-icon:)
  • If violations occur, organizers will take any action they deem appropriate for the infraction, up to and including expulsion
