Netiquette

Policy for participation in Colaboratorio IC’s internal communication channels.

The purpose of Netiquette is to enhance communication, to promote harmonious relationships and to help resolve conflicts as and when they arise in digital communities. In our case, it contributes to maintaining a positive atmosphere within Colaboratorio IC, an inclusive and self-managed space for meeting, connection and action, created in order to coordinate the Civic Innovation ecosystem.

Please, read this guide carefully. Respect it and help to improve it, as it is being continually reviewed and revised.

Basic Guidelines and Ethical Code

The lists and groups created by Colaboratorio CI aim to facilitate participative and distributed management, connect people and enable conversations and to share information and experiences related to our shared field of interest. They are also used to organise working and action groups convened by the community and to discuss how these groups should be run. Participation means following a set of guidelines and an ethical code:

  1. Upon your arrival, begin by introducing yourself. Something short and simple will suffice: name or nickname, interests and activities, any related links that might be of interest.
  2. The main language is Spanish. Be frugal with your words. Avoid hogging the limelight or monopolising group spaces and conversations. Do your part to keep discussions healthy, informative and constructive. Read previously posted messages before chiming in. Share your knowledge with the community (but please, no self-promotion, advertising or spam). Write with care. Don’t argue just for the sake of it and please, don’t feed the trolls.
  3. In groups/lists which permit the opening of new threads, please put a clear, brief title which accurately reflects the content and can be easily identified.
  4. At times the volume of information can make threads difficult to follow, so we suggest that, in addition to a subject, messages be identified or categorised using words in [square brackets], so that newcomers can get a quick impression of the message’s content. We suggest the following general categories:
    1. [PRESENTACION]: To introduce yourself when you join a group.
    2. [CONVOCATORIA]: To advertise events, meetups, talks, calls to participate, etc.
    3. [COLABORACIÓN]: Requests for help (RRSS broadcasts, joining a project, etc)
    4. [GT ____]: To offer information on a currently active Work Group (GT=Grupos de Trabajo). Each group can be identified in the description, for example: [GT COORDINACIÓN], [GT HERRAMIENTAS]
    5. [RECURSO]: To share a resource with the community.
    6. [INFO]: To share articles or links which are of interest.
    7. [ORG]: Questions regarding the organisation of a group or list.
    8. [DUDA]: To request help on a particular topic.
    9. [OFFTOPIC]: To post messages which are not directly related to the topic of the list/group.
  5. Respect the conversation threads. Keep to one topic/question per message, and stay on topic for the list/group. If you want to talk about something else, open a new thread. But please don’t open unnecessary threads, look to see if a thread already exists on the subject, and if it does, use that one. Too many extra threads creates mess more than anything else.
  6. Unconstructive or off-topic messages, along with any other sort of abuse, are wholly unwelcome. Offensive language and behaviour with regard to the following will not be tolerated: gender, ethnicity, beliefs, religion, social standing or any other aspect used to attack or threaten the group’s peaceful coexistence by highlighting differences.
  7. Steer clear of personal attacks and responses based on prejudice, previous interactions or conversations on other lists. Stick to what is being discussed in the thread, and if disagreements occur, lay out your arguments clearly so others can understand and/or defend themselves appropriately. Don’t make fake or extra profiles. Don’t form groups to gang up on others. Don’t say anything you wouldn’t say to someone’s face, and never forget that there is a person reading your message on the other side of the screen whose feelings may get hurt. Don’t be manipulative or biassed.
  8. Avoid writing in all-caps because IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE SHOUTING and it’s difficult to read. Whenever possible please do not attach files (a link is better). Don’t use HTML, always write in plain text.
  9. Protect your privacy and that of third parties. Don’t reveal passwords, card numbers or any other information that could be considered sensitive or personal. Also, don’t send confidential information or material you are not licensed to distribute.
  10. Subscribing or unsubscribing to Colaboratorio CI communication lists and groups is voluntary and free of charge, and both processes will follow the specifications of their corresponding platform or tool. If problems arise during the subscription or unsubscription process, get in touch at info@colaboratorioic.org.

Moderation and Sanctions for Failing to Follow the Netiquette Guidelines.

These groups/lists are managed by the Colaboratorio CI Moderation Team, whose job is to ensure their smooth and uninterrupted operation and to deal with any reported abuse.

  1. The Moderation Team is not responsible for any messages sent, nor for anything resulting from them. The responsibility is that of the sender of each message.
  2. The Moderation Team has the authority to caution or expel users who fail to follow the agreed upon guidelines. The Moderation Team can be challenged if they are not considered to be doing their job properly, or if they overstep in performing their duties.
  3. If a user wants to report another user’s unwanted behaviour, they should contact the Moderation Team and provide evidence (attach relevant messages or paragraphs, state which parts of the Netiquette have been infringed).
  4. Any user who is reported will be given the opportunity to justify their behaviour.
  5. The agreed upon disciplinary actions are as follows:
    • Initial Suspension (2 weeks): Following a user’s third infringement of the Netiquette.
    • Temporary Suspension (4 weeks): When a user has already faced previous disciplinary action
    • Expulsion: When a clear, repeated pattern of reoffense becomes evident or serious infractions are committed. The expelled user can only rejoin with the explicit backing of at least three members of the list and one member of the Moderation Team.
    • Definitive Expulsion: If a readmitted user continues to disregard the Netiquette guidelines they will be expelled definitively, with no possibility of readmission.
  6. Spam or unsolicited advertising is not permitted. Users who post such content will be blocked and face the appropriate disciplinary measures.
  7. When it appears that various users are coordinating attempts to disrupt the community, these users will be preventatively removed by the Moderation team until appropriate action can be taken. If one user is proven to have been the ringleader, this will be considered a serious, or even definitive, infraction depending on the level of harm done.
  8. When other, extraordinary situations arise which cause unrest or disruption, collective action will be taken to decide on the appropriate disciplinary measures.
