When you’re super stressed out to the max. What’s your go to? For me I like to ground my self by focusing on 5 things I see, 4 things I hear, 3 things I feel, 2 things I smell, 1 thing I taste. This switches my over thinking loops fast during a stressful moment. What techniques you got? Drop below

We are going to start tracking the one key metric every single Monday. Everyone here wants success on Skool, so here's how we're going to do it: Take a screenshot of your growth on your Skool metrics section and post it in the comments. You want to be going up and to the right. If you're not growing every week and other people are, ask them what they're doing and re-evaluate if you are taking the right actions to grow your group. Unfortunately, numbers don't lie here. Let's hold each other accountable. Iron sharpens iron 🗡️

I just finished a chat with Andrew Kirby about our situation and what they saw on their side. My biggest misunderstanding was thinking Skoolers and “Skool the platform” were the same thing. They’re not. Skoolers is a community like ours. It’s run with its own standards, and they moderate it the way they want their community to feel. The border is pretty simple in practice.Inside a community is inside the border.Anything that spills into other communities is outside the border. That’s why the Purge became a real problem. In my group, people were using my face as their profile picture for jokes. When that spilled into Skoolers, it starts normalizing fake accounts and “who cares” profile identity. That snowballs fast, and it makes the whole platform feel less legit. Andrew also clarified what they mean by low-quality engagement. It’s loosely defined, but the patterns are clear: - lots of posts with no real conversation - post and ghost - self-promotional posts - anything that looks like gaming the system to level up faster He told me the phrase “help me level up” gets flagged by the system. He also said most people cooperate and do fine. It’s usually a tiny handful of problem makers. His words were basically: out of huge numbers of users, they can count the real troublemakers on one hand. One more thing people should understand: Skoolers moderation is a community choice. They’re not “moderating the platform.” They’re protecting their room. Also, they have 5 moderators. They’re part-time. If we waste their time with annoying stuff, we are effectively burning the bandwidth of a small team. So here’s what I’m asking from the Yard going forward: - Use a real profile photo. Treat your account like it represents you. - If you post, stick around and reply. Try to create conversation, not noise. - Do not post anything framed around farming points, leveling up, or “help me level up.” - Respect moderators and admins. They are protecting the experience for everyone.
