Community Rules: Integrity Dilemma
I'm developing the rules for my community and feeling stuck on how to create rules around promotion and selling (both in the main chat and the dms). The common recommendation is something like this: "1) No Self Promotion 2) No Selling in the DM's 3) No Spamming the Community Feed" But I also intend to invite people to upgrade to my paid group and to sell people to my group and courses in the DM's. Obvs there's some social grace here because its my own platform, but it feels super hypocritical... Tell others they cant self promote and sell in dms but do it myself??? ick. It would at least be honest to say: "1) No Self Promotion (Unless You Own This Group) 2) No Selling in the DM's (Unless it's for our Inner Circle) 3) No Spamming the Community Feed" 😅 Feels kinda weird either way 😋 Just me?... Any ethical resolution to be found here that would still be effective rule setting for a community?
