Facebook Group Rules
MUST READ BEFORE POSTING
Our VIP members are the only ones allowed to post/go live in the Facebook group. VIPs are paying subscription members who have exclusive access to post/go live once a week. Please note their posts are allowed by admins, so please do not report them. Find out more about becoming a VIP member at www.torontoprofessionalwomen.com/join.
All posts are subject to approval by the moderators or admins. It is up to us to decide if a post will be accepted, regardless of whether it is in accordance with the rules or not.
GIVE MORE THAN YOU TAKE
We ask you to come to this group with the mindset of helping your fellow members and sharing your expertise.
Doing business effectively requires building relationships, so get to know each other first. The designated post threads will provide you with plenty of opportunities to promote your business (example: let's follow each other on IG).
Give more than you take in this group. Spam and irrelevant links aren't allowed. Asking the same question or posting the same comment repeatedly after it has been removed by admins due to rule violation will result in removal from the group.
POST ETIQUETTE
We only allow posts and comments related to the group’s activity. Off-topic content will be removed and will result in removal from the group.
NO FISHING FOR CLIENTS
We will block and remove members if we catch them "fishing", spamming their comments with links to their website, webinars, events, etc., recruiting from your posts, or private messaging other members without their consent.
**USE OF THE TPWM NAME AND CREATING MEETUPS OR EVENTS FOR OUR MEMBERS IS NOT ALLOWED WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM CHRISTINE FERNANDES**
NO GOFUNDME, KICKSTARTER OR EXTERNAL SURVEYS
No GoFundMe, Kickstarter or donation requests. No external surveys, external market research, Google Form links, etc. will be allowed. If you want to conduct a survey you can do so in your post through a poll.
NO "MAKE MONEY' POSTS
No "make money" or recruiting posts. No Bitcoin, CBD or Crypto allowed.
BE KIND AND COURTEOUS
We're all in this together to create a welcoming environment. Let's treat everyone with respect. Healthy debates are natural, but kindness is required.
RESPECT EVERYONE'S PRIVACY
Being part of this group requires mutual trust. Authentic, expressive discussions make groups great, but may also be sensitive and private. What's shared in the group should stay in the group.
NO HATE SPEECH OR BULLYING
Make sure everyone feels safe. Bullying of any kind isn't allowed, and degrading comments about things like race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender or identity will not be tolerated.
