tl;dr

Cartoon man with a beard and brown hair, dressed in a brown suit and bow tie, standing at a podium with one finger raised, speaking about community guidelines.

To keep this a friendly, neighborly space, please follow these simple rules:

  1. Be cordial.
    Write as if you’re talking to a neighbor you’ll see in town tomorrow. One you like, anyway.

  2. Keep it clean.
    No profanity, vulgar language, slurs, or crude jokes. Funny jokes are encouraged, however.

  3. No put-downs.
    Don’t criticize or disparage specific individuals, businesses, or organizations in our area, or anywhere really. We weren’t raised that way.

  4. Avoid divisive topics.
    Skip partisan politics, political campaigns, and other hot-button issues. This is a space for connection, not drama… Twitter is over here, if that’s your thing.

  5. Keep it local & relevant.
    Posts and events should relate to the Twain Harte Area Chamber of Commerce service area (Soulsbyville to the Pass) and benefit our local community. We live in an amazing place, let’s promote it!

  6. No spam or misleading content.
    Promotions should offer real value. No scams, clickbait, or unrelated advertising.

  7. We may edit or remove content.
    The Chamber may edit or decline posts that do not follow these guidelines to protect the cordial, welcoming spirit of our region. WE MEAN IT!

For all the boring details, tedious examples, and posting tips no one will ever read, please read the fine print our lawyers said we had to write.
