Draft code of conduct · version 0.1
A stronger tribe,built together.
The behaviours that make candid founder conversations useful, generous and safe for everybody inside.
The 60-second version
Four habits that protect the tribe.
The short version of how we expect members to show up.
Disagree with care.
Challenge the idea without diminishing the person.
Inside means inside.
Do not export another member’s candour.
Let different voices land.
The loudest person should not own the room.
Who this is for
This draft code applies to members, guests, organisers and contributors across CPGtribe spaces.
It covers posts, direct messages, events, calls and any other interaction connected with the tribe.
Be useful
Share experience, context and honest questions—not theatre for an audience.
- Add context before asking for labour.
- Credit the people whose work helped you.
- Close the loop when advice changes an outcome.
Nobody needs to have the answer. Useful participation can be a thoughtful question, a relevant introduction or a clear account of what did not work.
Disagree well
Candid disagreement is welcome; personal hostility is not.
ChallengeIdeas, evidence and decisions.
ProtectDignity, safety and a fair chance to respond.
Ask before assuming, separate facts from interpretation, and leave room for somebody to revise a view without losing face.
Protect confidentiality
Member candour depends on knowing where a story will travel.
The trust rule
Ask the original speaker before taking a quote, screenshot or introduction outside the tribe.
Do not copy posts, record calls, export member details or repeat identifiable stories without clear permission.
No unsolicited selling
Membership is not permission to turn the tribe into a prospect list.
Do not scrape or export member details.
Do not mass-message pitches.
Do disclose commercial interests when relevant.
Relevant offers can be useful when invited and clearly disclosed. Cold outreach, scraping and disguised promotion are not.
Safety and respect
Harassment, discrimination, threats and deliberate deception have no place here.
The final code will define reporting and escalation routes, including when immediate protective action may be necessary.
Raising a concern
Tell us what happened, what you need now, and whether there is an immediate risk.
1 · Tell usShare the concern
2 · ProtectAddress immediate risk
3 · ReviewDecide next steps
Reports will be handled with discretion. Absolute confidentiality cannot be promised where investigation or safety requires limited sharing.
How we may respond
Responses should be proportionate to the conduct, context, impact and risk of repetition.
ExplainProtectAct proportionately
Possible steps may include a conversation, content removal, a warning, temporary limits or ending membership. Where safe and sensible, the person involved will have a chance to respond.
Questions and contact
Ask before a difficult situation becomes a bigger one.
The final version will include the correct safeguarding, moderation and appeal contacts before publication.
