What it means to be in the circle at The Quiet Upgrade Being here means we’re part of something intentional. We grow, learn, and build in community—not just side-by-side, but together. That requires safety, respect, and shared responsibility. Here’s what that looks like in practice: 1. Respect Each Other’s Privacy - No screenshots of posts, comments, or DMs without clear consent. - Don’t quote or share anyone’s words outside the circle, even anonymously, unless they’ve said it's okay. - We protect vulnerability, not amplify it for content. 2. Originality Matters - Don’t copy and paste member content, prompts, or teaching into outside platforms (even with “credit”) without permission. - Get inspired, but make it yours. 3. No Uninvited Sales or Outreach - Don’t DM members with offers, promotions, or asks unless explicitly invited. - Our DMs are for connection, not cold pitches. 4. Community Info Is Not for External Use - All names, questions, comments, and shared experiences stay in this community. - Do not use, quote, reference, or share any part of a member’s contribution—whether verbal, written, or visual—for personal projects, content, research, marketing, or training without explicit, written permission. - This includes screenshots, anonymized summaries, and even casual references. When in doubt, ask first. - If you’re a moderator, team member, or guest contributor, this is non-negotiable. You agree not to extract, export, or reuse any community content, member identity, or insight for outside use. - We take this seriously. Breaching this principle may result in immediate removal from the community and, if necessary, legal follow-up. 5. Moderation with Care - Moderators model the tone and culture of the space. - If boundaries are crossed, we respond with clarity, not shame. Liability & Responsibility By participating in this community, you agree to uphold the integrity of the space. If you violate any of these agreements—intentionally or unintentionally—you are solely responsible for the consequences. The community hosts and business owners are not liable for any outcomes or damages that result from another member’s behavior, misuse of information, or breach of conduct.
