Using Slack

Be Responsible and Respectful

• Be polite – Post only appropriate comments, audio and video
• Be thoughtful – Post only after you have unemotionally reread your comments
• Be a good digital citizen – Post critical comments about topics, not about peers (bullying, harassment, intimidation will not be tolerated)

Be Responsible and Respectful

• Be safe – Don’t post any personal ID data (address, credit card info, cell number, etc.)
• Be yourself – Post your thoughts/feelings/work, not someone else’s

Be Vocal, Be Heard, Participate

• Don’t wait for the perfect moment to jump in -- When you have something to express, post it

Be Relevant

• Posts should align with Channel/Thread topic
• Don’t post personal/social comments/audio/video

Be Concise

• Keep posts and replies short and to the point

Be Complimentary

• If you agree with others, compliment their good work – everyone loves getting support

Be Discrete (sometimes)

• Some conversations are better had through DM than in Channels
