The Stay A While Community Guidelines

• Forming deeper connections requires a willingness to be open with others. We ask for radical respect when someone shares their story with you.
• You are never obligated to answer a question you aren't comfortable with, but we ask that you keep an open mind and a willingness to share back.
• We are a global community in a local city. Treat every member with dignity, regardless of their background, origin, or perspective.
• Harassment, hate speech, sexism, racism, or discriminatory behavior will result in immediate removal.

• Set it Down: Our events aren't strictly "phone-free," but we strongly encourage you to set your device aside to honor the person sitting across from you.
• The Exception: Of course, feel free to pull it out when it’s time to exchange contact info with a new friend!
• Within our WhatsApp group, please avoid over-posting memes or high-frequency media. We aim to keep our notifications as thoughtful as our physical tables.

This is not a networking group. Please do not use the community to pitch services, advertise businesses, or send unsolicited "cold" DMs to members.

If a professional collaboration happens naturally, that's wonderful—but the intent of the group is human connection, not lead generation.
