Was your Growmance account deactivated?

At Growmance, we have a strict set of community guidelines that we expect all members to follow. If you have been deactivated, it is because you have violated one or more of these guidelines. Violations are harmful to the community and to the participants in the community. We believe that marketing is the greatest social technology ever invented for solving human problems. As marketers, we have a responsibility to move society forward in a way that is good for everyone.

Summary of the community guidelines

Our guidelines are straightforward and easy to follow. Here’s a summary of what we expect from our members:

• Post only one message, in one channel, one time per week. If you have something to promote, promote it in the channel where it is approved to be posted.
• Don’t spam via direct messages.
• Don’t post any link or content requests in anything but the link-exchanges channel.
• Don’t make junk/useless posts. Content should be relevant to the channel.
• Post in the correct channels. If there’s a specific channel, use it.
• Don’t post ANY self-promotional content in the #general and #marketing channel. These channels, while they have the most users, also cause the most problems. Only use #general and #marketing for non-promotional, learning, or help requests.
• Don’t change public room descriptions, even if you think it’s helpful. Reach out to a community manager for guidance.
• Don’t change the Best Practices Wiki in a biased way to give advantage to your own products, services, courses, or other materials.
• Don’t scrape the Growmance members list so you can spam them outside of Growmance.
• Don’t do anything that resembles harassment. Negative comments based on race, sex, sexuality, gender, nationality, politics, appearance, history, disability, or anything that creates a hostile environment.
• If a moderator contacts you for questionable behavior, you must stop what you’re doing immediately. If you are warned about a behavior, and the behavior is repeated, you will be banned. 2 strikes and you are out.
