Welcome to the Enby Alliance! This is a group where all of us lovely nonbinary folk can hang out, make friends, and support one another. This post contains the rules of this group (which mostly come down to respect and common sense!) as well as a brief explanation of what the three subforums are for.
[some part of this board was edited by ]
Rules are in here! Please at least skim them.
These are some specific rules I thought would be a good idea to highlight. However, the general idea behind them is being respectful and considerate to your fellow members. If you are caught doing something very malicious, it will be addressed even if it's not on this list. Something about the spirit of the law, not the letter... :)
I. Do not invalidate anyone's identity. We're all enby here, so we've all probably experienced what it's like to be invalidated. So we should take care not to do it to one another. Remember, being enby doesn't mean you have to look androgynous, have an androgynous name, or prefer they/them pronouns. Many of us have those traits, but many of us also don't and are still just as valid. Also remember that gender can be very fluid, and many of us are still figuring it out, so don't make a big fuss if somebody decides to change their name or pronouns.
It's okay if you are not sure of your identity when joining! Feel free to contact a mod if you have any question regarding this rule.
II. Respect language preferences, such as name and pronouns. Arguing with someone about their chosen name/pronouns will not be tolerated. If you do make a mistake, just apologize, fix it (if possible), and move on.
III. Respect privacy and boundaries. If you know stuff about someone in the group, don't share the information unless you have their permission. For example, if you know someone on Facebook or IRL, but they choose to go by a different alias here, do NOT share their deadname/legal name without their permission. You might happen to know other things about someone such as their birthday/age, what country they live in, what they do for work/school - but again don't share this stuff unless they're okay with it.
IV. There is to be no drama or fighting in the forums. In most cases you probably want to ignore whoever is giving you grief, and contact an admin (). But if you do want to talk it out with them, do it over sMail instead of out in public. Note that discussion and debate is allowed, but it should remain civil and nonpersonal (that is, you can say an idea is shitty, but you should not be calling anyone a shitty person).
V. Don't abuse the ping. You can ping the group whenever you want, if you really need someone to talk to, or if you just wanna say hello! But don't spam us with pings. In general, try to limit your pings to at most every other day.
VI. Make posts in the right subforum (see below), and do not spam the forums or necro posts. Just like on the rest of Subeta forums. Other basic forum rules apply as well, such as no unsolicited advertising (don't post here about items you're trying to sell) or unsolicited self-promotion (such as your own art shop or anything). There might be a dedicated topic for advertisement/self-promotion in the future though if it's something members want.
VII. New members must post on the Members List topic to be "officially" counted as a member of the group. The Members List is located here and to be added you just fill out the form on that page. You can leave everything blank except username if you want. This is the only participation requirement we have. I will send reminders/warnings before removing anyone for forgetting about this. We will not be kicking anyone out unless there is a legit reason and motivation. Either way, you will get a warning or a reminder.
There are three subforums, and here's what they're for:
Enby Care Corner - For vents, rants, and advice. Post here if you're looking to give or get support or advice of any kind.
Enby Meta - Posts about the Enby Alliance itself. If you have questions about the rules or suggestions for the group, for instance, post them here. Any major news/announcements will also go here.
Enby Social - For more light-hearted chat than the Care Corner. You can talk about anything (including off-topic stuff) here, as well as host contests/giveaways or anything you want. This is where you can introduce yourself as well if you're new to the club.
(we reserve the right to make more eventually if needed)
This group is really new. Really, really new. So new, in fact, that it's really empty in here!
But that's something YOU can help us fix.
:dmg:water: Check out the Members List and fill out the form on that page to add yourself! **This is required for all members. (See Rule VII)
