Community Safety & Integrity — Quick Heads Up
To help keep this community respectful, valuable, and safe for the people genuinely participating here, I want to briefly address something that unfortunately happens in a lot of online groups. Not everyone joins communities to contribute, learn, or participate in open discussion. Some individuals join specifically to: • scrape content • poach product access • solicit members privately • redirect people elsewhere • plagiarize community material • push affiliate/drop-shipping setups That behavior will not be tolerated here. Which brings me to something I’ve personally experienced before: In other groups where I was a member, I’ve had people DM me directly despite never having interacted with them publicly in the group. Usually, after checking, they had only joined the group hours or days earlier before immediately reaching out privately to members. rs It usually starts normally: • conversation • questions • casual discussion Then slowly shifts into: • product offers • sourcing • “better pricing offers” • affiliate-style setups • drop shipping • redirecting members elsewhere Just a heads up — that’s not what this group is for. If anyone ever reaches out to you privately without you initiating it, please let me know. 👉 Reaching out to me directly is always fine. 👉 Member-to-member DMs are completely fine when both sides are expecting it. This is also clearly outlined in the Rules section of the group. No assumptions. No drama. Just keeping the space clean, respectful, and focused on open discussion, systems thinking, and shared experiences. If someone has something valuable to contribute, it should be shared openly with the group. Appreciate you all.
