Guidelines

Guidelines for Community Participation
1. In an effort to keep this community focused on the improvement of mind and body fitness, please refrain from soliciting our membership through posting advertising, promotional materials, referrals, press releases, junk mail, spam, chain letters, pyramid schemes, or any other material that has not been approved by Day1. Postings of this type will be removed by the site administrator.
2. We are here to learn, grow, and have fun. Please respect your fellow members and avoid intentionally disrupting or disturbing the community or to interfere with other members' use and enjoyment of our community.
3. Do unto others… We will not allow members to attack the character or damage the reputation of other members, name-call, insult, ridicule, harass, mock or otherwise verbally assault other members of this community. We are focused on maintaining a professional network and all behavior should reflect accordingly.
4. While we welcome constructive criticism, bullying and intimidation are not permitted. Language that can be construed as belittling or rude will be quickly removed and membership subject to immediate revocation.
5. Keep the community positive. Discriminatory posts that negatively target individuals by race, class, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, weight or disability are not allowed. We welcome diverse conversation, but please keep the words respectful and educational.
6. Feel free to post links and content, but please be sure that it is suitable and on-topic with the Day1 Philosophy and Mission. If your post is deemed obscene or vulgar, harassing, humiliating, defamatory, libelous, untrue or invasive of someone else's privacy by Day1, it will be removed immediately. This content includes including graphics, images, stories, blog posts, discussion threads, events or videos.
7. Be aware of copyright infringement and refrain from posting. If the material is not yours and/or you do not have permission to post, it should not be on Day1. That includes published articles, images or videos, without the author or owner's permission.
8. Positivity and motivation is what we are all about. Please keep posts on topic and in the right group/forum/blog. If you seek to draw attention to a section of the site, keep it positive with the intention of improving others’ fitness and awareness.
9. Please use a normal voice in our community, we are all good listeners. If you are passionate about a point you are making, feel free to use ALL CAPS, but please exercise moderation. Yelling hurts our ears, and sometimes our feelings.
10. Please post your messages once in the appropriate conversation (such as blogs, groups, forums, or discussion threads).
11. Be a space-saver. Enter your post once and see the responses come in. There is no rational justification to flood the boards. This includes repeatedly "bumping" a thread, disrupting an online chat event by entering the same phrase over and over again, or otherwise using up bandwidth for no reason.
12. Banned members have been banned for a reason. It will not benefit you to post on their behalf. If you do this, you may be banned without notice or warning.
13. Please consult a job board if you are looking to hire or acquire a job, and do not indiscriminately post to various groups, blogs or discussion threads. You may promote your job posting in the appropriate groups.
14. Any member, screen name, post, or general content deemed to be violating the Day1 usage terms is subject to immediate removal and should be reported to Day1 immediately.

Self-promotion
We understand the desire for members to use Day1 as a way to promote themselves and their businesses. We want to encourage and foster this, but there are acceptable and unacceptable ways to do this:
1. You may not directly advertise or promote yourself en masse to the membership via messaging, in any comment, blog post, discussion thread, group, or any media, including both photos and videos. The content in question is subject to removal at Day1’s discretion. Additionally, this content should not resemble that which you'd normally find on a press release or advertisement or late-night infomercial.
2. The appropriate way to attract attention is to be a periodic contributor of valued content to the site. In the blog posts, discussion threads, photos, videos of groups started by you or fellow members, share your expertise, knowledge and thoughts with the group as you would with any family member, colleague, or friend, without directly soliciting them for business as you do so, or promoting your business or company. Your knowledge should speak for itself and therefore build your reputation at the site within the community areas.
3. In blog posts, photos, groups, discussion threads or videos, you are welcome to link back to your member profile page only. You may not include any contact information, including the name of your business, in these areas. Acceptable language includes "Please stop by my home at Day1" or "Visit my member profile page for more information about me." Oftentimes videos or photos contain brief, promotional language or text within them, which is acceptable, as long as the videos and pictures contain educational or useful material.
4. If you would like to advertise your company, products or services to the membership at large, please contact us about advertising on Day1.
5. A serious violation is poaching or directly soliciting Day1 members using Day1 itself. We are not against competition. However, using the Day1 internal email messaging, our technology or platform to post a self-promoting blog, discussion, or comment on any profile wall with the intent to solicit members to or advertise a competitive site is in violation of our community guidelines and you will be subject to an immediate ban, and open to legal prosecution.

Membership Profiles
1. Your profile should include your name and an avatar, and some simple, clear details that let us all know a little bit about you, including your city and state. An avatar is your computerized representation of yourself, like a headshot or image (this does not necessarily need to be a picture of you). Remember this is a network! If you want to connect, communicate, collaborate, and be found by colleagues and friends, a more complete profile will help.
2. Using your company logo for an avatar is perfectly acceptable, but again, make sure somewhere on your profile is a spot to let people know the identity of the person behind the company profile if your member profile name is, for instance "LiveDay1.com." We like to encourage as much real-person interaction as possible, as opposed to interacting solely with a nameless, faceless brand. Your customers and clients would appreciate it, too.
3. You may use your member profile page to promote your company or business, including any links to company Web sites, blogs or contact information.
4. You may not alter your page so dramatically that it competes with any Day1-branded materials, including any and all advertisements posted by Day1, anywhere on the site. Such alteration of Web pages - which includes banner ad-like promotional materials running atop membership profiles - is strictly forbidden, subject to review and will be removed.
5. You may set up widgets to use as promotional materials on your member profile page, as long as the branding is clear that any and all material is solely that which you are providing and are not Day1-created content or endorsements.

Blogs
Blogs are an excellent way for people to get to know you better. Start a blog post to discuss current trends, observations, share news articles (with proper attribution), funny stories, personal experiences, training tips, educational material, business dilemmas or successes, how you live Day1, etc.
1.You may include pictures or images in your posts. If you need help, please contact Day1, if you need guidance on this.
2. You may include content from previously published, print or online, materials with proper attribution. If you can, provide a link to where the content originates.
3. Blogs are easy to start and are great ways for you to express yourself to the community. Great blogs we'll feature on the main page for all to see. There are several ways to start a blog, forum, or group. If you would like help creating, click here.
4. Please review the "Self-promotion" section of these guidelines for more information.

Forums
A Forum is more of a short topic or question posed to the community where replies are generally desired. You can also create a new topic for discussion or ask a question by clicking on the Add a Comment link on the Discussion tab. Here you can give it a title, write the discussion text/question and even upload file attachments if desired. We encourage you to pick a category that's applicable or general if none apply and to add tags that help people find your discussion!
1. You may include pictures or images in your posts. If you need help, please check the site tips or contact Day1.
2. You may include content from previously published, print or online, materials with proper attribution. If you can, provide a link to where the content originates.
3. Please review the "Self-promotion" section of these guidelines for more information.

Groups
Groups allow you to invite or include people who have a common interest around a particular topic. You can share it, socialize it, communicate to other members in the group, edit and manage. It's your group... make it special. For instance, those who are interested in issues surrounding at-home fitness would want to join a group that focuses on those issues. If no such group exists, feel free to create one, using the following guidelines:
1. If you start a group, you are responsible for that group and to ensure that it remains lively and active. The Day1 staff will remove any group that appears to be inactive for more than 60 days.
2. When you start a group, make sure that you include a headline, appropriate avatar and a brief description of the group. Also included should be at least one or two discussion threads that tackle an issue the group - or you - may want to discuss. Any group started with no discussion threads in it will be removed after 60 days of its creation.
3. Groups themselves may not be promotional in nature. For instance, if you work for XYZ Clothing Company, you may not start a group that is called "XYZ Clothing Company." This is considered promotional in nature and will be removed (unless previously approved by Day1). You are welcome, however, to start a group about clothing in general.
4. As group creator, make sure to visit your group frequently and chat with your fellow members, no matter the discussion thread. Create new discussions daily. The direction your group takes, and the conversation within, is up to you. Reach out to your fellow group members directly by asking them to join in on conversations.
5. Group landing pages or discussion threads may not include promotional links or feeds to your company or personal blog. You are welcome to use feeds as long as they are not promotional in nature. You are welcome to link to your member profile within a discussion thread, but not on the landing page of a particular group.
6. Invite Day1 friends to join your group, or promote your group within your blog.
7. Participation in any group is similar to that in a blog or discussion thread. Language and content in groups should adhere to the same policies as blogs and discussion threads. Please review the "Self-promotion" section of these guidelines for more information.

Events
The Events section of Day1 is the perfect place for you to get the word out on any events or promotions you may be aware of or are hosting yourself. These can be free or paid events. This is a free service provided by Day1.
1. You can specify time, location and information about your event and invite people to RSVP.
2. It can be public or private.
3. When you invite people and to a commercial event, please make certain that you're respectful and not invasive.

Violations of Community Guidelines
If you violate the Day1 community guidelines, expect to be contacted individually by community staff. Your actions may result in a warning, a suspension, or permanent banning from participation in our community.
1. Day1 has adopted a "Three Strikes" policy when it comes to banning. Day1 will contact you directly to inform you of a violation of the community guidelines. After three violations, you will be banned from the community. Day1 reserves the right to handle each violation on a case-by-case basis and, if the situation warrants, to ban any member at any time, for any reason, with or without warning.
2. Members who have been reprimanded for violating any Day1 community guidelines will have 48 hours to rectify the violation. If no action is taken during this period, members will be reprimanded again and the action will be counted against their "Three Strikes" allotment.
3. Banning is done at the community staff's discretion and is the result of our sole determination of a member's demonstrated inability or disinclination to follow our guidelines.
4. If you poach and solicit Day1 members using Day1 messaging, you may be prosecuted. We do not publicly discuss or announce warnings, suspensions or bannings.
5. If a thread that contains a violation of these guidelines has information that's useful to the original poster or other members of the site, it may be edited or locked. However, if in our sole judgment a thread was created for the purpose of violating the guidelines, violates enough guidelines to be irredeemable, or contains no otherwise useful information, it may be removed.
6. Because of the size of our community, we can't monitor all posts on the site. If you see a message you believe violates our guidelines, please contact us.

Your Rights and Responsibilities
Please bear in mind that all of the material you read in our community areas comes from other members. Because our community is very large, Day1 doesn't monitor or verify all the information posted by our members. The comments, opinions, and statements posted on our blogs, forums, groups and chats don't necessarily reflect the views of Day1. The information posted on our boards and blog postings, including advice and opinions, is the responsibility of those members who create the posts.

Please consult your business advisors, doctors, or other qualified professionals before relying on information you find in the community areas. Day1 is not responsible for the accuracy of posts and is not liable for any damage or loss that may result from your reliance on what other members have said.

All Day1 communications, including blogs, group discussion and forum posts, are public and not private communications. Day1 has the right to modify and publish, both on our site and in other media, any information you post in our community areas. Please note that the material you post may be indexed by search engines such as Yahoo and Google. Community staff and volunteer hosts may use your membership e-mail to contact you regarding your messages in our community. You're responsible for keeping your e-mail address active and updated. Failure to keep your e-mail address updated may result in your being banned until we can confirm that you have a valid e-mail address associated with your Day1 membership. Keep your login information, including your password, private. Sharing of memberships or screen names is not allowed and may result in your being banned. Day1 accepts no responsibility for use of your membership or computer by third parties, with or without your permission. We reserve the right to modify or change these guidelines without notice.

Privacy Guidelines
Never provide your password, telephone numbers, or home address to anyone online. Be very careful about responding to solicitations for interviews or research. Note, however, that Day1 editors might invite you to respond to such solicitations from time to time. Never divulge any private or personal information about another person online. That includes the person's real name or address, e-mail address, and any other personal information that the person has not asked you to make public. Don't forward or post private messages that someone has sent to you unless you have his or her permission. Only send e-mail to another Day1 member if he or she has given you expressed permission. Please don't solicit other members' personal information.

The e-mail address you provide is for our use only, unless you provide it to other members. By accepting friendships on Day1, you take full responsibility for any e-mail you receive. Day1 does not monitor such communications and will not intervene between members who use this function. The only way to keep from receiving undesirable e-mail is to remove the offending member from your friends list and not share your e-mail address. Day1 reserves the right to resend invitations by members, and will only resend invitations once per month. Day1 will do its best to resend invitations only once. Members of the Day1 community sometimes organize donations, gift exchanges, reunions, and other offline activities. Such arrangements are private and are not sponsored, vetted, or hosted by Day1. You participate at your own risk.

If you're looking for subjects to interview or participants for a study, please contact the Community Manager to ask for permission before querying the Day1 community. Day1 welcomes any and all comments and feedback. Please contact us regarding the following situations:
1. Report any concern you have about our community
2. Get help navigating the site or participating in our community
3. Get clarification of these guidelines or any other aspect of our community
4. Alert us to a violation of these guidelines
5. Day1’s community policies are based on our belief that everyone has a right to free expression and that by talking openly with others we can all become better people, healthier people, and better professionals. We are committed to helping our members improve mind and body fitness. To that end, we respect individual differences in philosophies, beliefs, opinions, and work styles, and we expect our community members to do the same.
