These community guidelines are a document where people can come to keep everyone associated with Fearless actionable for their behaviour, approach and adhering to our values. We created Fearless to change the way people get hired and build relationships within the design world, and these guard rails have been put in place to ensure our community continues to flourish and add value to our members.Fearless is a community for designers of all levels. We urge members to not assume the pronouns of others. While many of our members use he/she, for example, some use they/them. Remember not to judge people’s gender based on their photos or names they use on LinkedIn.
🍖 Strictly no spam.
We asked the community members and data have told us that spam is the quickest way to lose engagement from our community and one of the asks from our community. Spam includes surveys, product or event promotions, self-promotion without reason in the wrong channels. If you wish to promote a product or service via our community, you may use dedicated channels otherwise you will need authorisation from @Tom or @Lauren Kelly to do so. Anyone seen to be breaking this guideline could be removed from the group.
