The Seven Rules
Every PTI room runs on the same seven rules. They are the standard, applied to ourselves first.
- Respectful discussion only
- No campaigning
- No candidate promotion
- No partisan content
- Civic improvement only
- Structural ideas welcome
- Peaceful engagement required
Community Guidelines
1 · Civic Purpose
Posts and comments address community structure, governance concepts, or civic improvement. If it doesn’t improve how the community runs, it doesn’t belong here.
2 · Factual Standard
Claims carry sources where sources exist. Errors are corrected in the open, without drama.
3 · No Campaigning
No candidate promotion or opposition, no party material, no electioneering. PTI is an organization, not a campaign.
4 · Respect for Persons
Critique procedures, records, and decisions — never attack residents, officials, or members personally.
5 · Peaceful Register
No threats, no harassment, no profanity in public PTI space. We are the standard we propose.
6 · Local First
Priority to the meetings, boards, and records of our own community. National topics enter only where they change local structure.
7 · On the Record
What PTI presents to officials is presented here too. No private agendas.
8 · Moderation
Moderators may remove material that breaks these guidelines. Repeated violations end membership. Decisions are explained on request.
