Slack etiquette guidelines

Code of Conduct

Our Code of Conduct applies to our Slack community as well as our Meetups and any other events hosted by TLL. In short, please be respectful to each other, and please report any incidents where someone may have acted against the code of conduct to an organiser (their Slack name will include “organiser” title), or email organisers@techleadingladies.com.

Threads

Please do try to keep conversations in threads as much as possible to limit too many notifications to other members.

Sensitive topics

If the contents of a message or thread contains potentially sensitive content, please add a content warning (CW) or trigger warning (TW) where possible. For example, “CW sexism”. If you’re not sure, please reach out to an organiser.
