Guidelines

  1. Everyone is welcome.

    Except
     people who break the rules.

    Or blood related to anyone who breaks these rules

    Or hooked up with anyone who breaks these rules in college, regardless of sobriety level at the time of the occurrence. 
  2. NO MENTION OF MLM (MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING OR SIMILAR) 
    We don't want your wax melts, lululemon, none of it.
  3. No one named Melanie is allowed in this group  without consent of 4+ staff,  if you are a Melanie congratulations for getting this far. 
  4. 2 BUMPS PER HOUR, PER POST, PER PERSON.

    Failure to abide by this will result in a mute then ban.  

    This is to protect posts from being flagged. 
  5.  You must wait 24hrs after being approved as a member to make a post within the group, give back by bumping and interacting.

    If you’d like or *need* to post immediately after your 24hrs are up we’d need to see you being active in the group and giving back!

    Giving back to the group is about being kind to one another, sharing advice, encouragement and love. Comments, likes and interaction help others receive more visibility.
  6. Deleting posts will result in an immediate ban.
    You may only remove with permission from staff. 
  7. Give more than you take, unless you're going through a crisis you should be helping more than asking for help here, repeated leaning on the group will result in a ban.
  8. Do NOT message other members for monetary requests or any other reason without their consent through a comment that the admin team can see.
