Community Guidelines & Code of Conduct – ProductMasters.io
Effective Date: [01/05/2025]
Welcome to ProductMasters.io – a curated community for amazing product professionals.
By joining our community, every member agrees to uphold the following 5 principles that guide our behavior, preserve the integrity of our network, and reflect our shared values.
1. We Build a Network of Excellence and Intentionality
ProductMasters.io is a home for ambitious, forward-thinking professionals shaping the future of product, AI, and tech operations. Every member is expected to contribute to maintaining the caliber, purpose, and quality of this network.
- Nominate only individuals whose professional excellence and character you genuinely admire.
- Flag behavior that erodes the standards or trust of the community.
- Contribute thoughtfully, with the same level of rigor and care you bring to your work.
This is not a mass community. We prize signal over noise, and your participation should reflect that.
2. We Support with Substance, Not Performative Networking
We believe in high-leverage generosity—opening doors, offering advice, and contributing insight not for performative value, but because you genuinely believe in lifting others.
Examples of what this looks like:
- Making high-signal intros for relevant roles, mentorship, or opportunities.
- Sharing tested frameworks, feedback, or playbooks in product, growth, or AI.
- Welcoming new members meaningfully when they enter the community.
If you’re not here to support others and grow together, this community likely isn’t the right fit.
3. We Respect Boundaries and Never Spam
We are building a trusted space where intent and transparency matter more than volume. Therefore, all outreach and connection must follow these rules:
- Always be clear and upfront in your communications: state your intent plainly (e.g., feedback, hiring, collaboration, investment).
- Do not cold-message or pitch other members repeatedly, especially off-platform.
- Never abuse community membership as leverage in external conversations.
- Respect “no” and don’t follow up aggressively. People are busy, and we value respect over persistence.
You are encouraged to reach out—but be thoughtful, not transactional.
4. We Practice Respect, Curiosity, and Inclusion
At ProductMasters.io, diversity of thought is not only welcomed—it’s necessary. We expect all members to:
- Engage in good faith, especially with those who hold different views.
- Never tolerate racism, sexism, harassment, or any form of exclusionary behavior.
- Speak with humility, listen with curiosity, and contribute with generosity.
This community is global. Let’s act like professionals who are building the future, not stuck in the past.
5. We Operate Ethically and Represent the Network with Integrity
Every member is an ambassador of ProductMasters.io. That means:
- You act in alignment with local laws, ethical norms, and basic professional conduct.
- You lead by example—in how you work, collaborate, and communicate.
- Any misuse of the platform, significant ethical breaches, or patterns of toxic behavior may result in removal without warning.
Our reputation is collective. When we uphold high standards, we all benefit.
Violation and Enforcement
Violations of this Code of Conduct will be reviewed carefully and fairly. We reserve the right to take action, including revoking membership, in cases of:
- Repeated violations of boundaries, spamming, or disrespectful behavior.
- Any form of discrimination, harassment, or abuse.
- Misuse of confidential opportunities, resources, or network status.
This community exists to be safe, empowering, and valuable. We’ll do what it takes to keep it that way.
