Responsibility is not status.

The Underdogs Code

Membership is intended for life, but membership also carries responsibility.

Members agree to

  • Treat every member with dignity and respect
  • Disagree without harassment
  • Act honestly
  • Protect member privacy
  • Avoid scams, fraud, and manipulation
  • Avoid threats, hate, bullying, and exploitation
  • Respect professional boundaries
  • Share knowledge responsibly
  • Use finance and crypto areas for education, not deception
  • Avoid spam and unwanted solicitation
  • Follow local laws
  • Report serious misconduct
  • Help protect the Safe Haven
  • Remember that no title, profession, wealth level, company, or role places one member above another
  • Respect that members may pay one another fairly for honest work
  • Understand that helping does not always mean working for free
  • Keep free help, paid work, mentorship, learning, employment, and collaboration inside the same equal community
  • Treat the person hiring and the person being hired as equal members

The line is drawn at behavior, not belief.
