The Deight Community

Our mission is to create a welcoming, respectful, and inclusive social community where members can build genuine connections, attend events, expand their social circles, and enjoy meaningful experiences together.

To ensure a positive experience for everyone, all members are expected to follow these Community Guidelines.

By joining the Deight Community, you agree to abide by these guidelines at all times, whether participating online, in person, or at any Deight-organised event.

OUR COMMUNITY VALUES

We encourage all members to:

• Be respectful and considerate of others

• Be welcoming and inclusive

• Support a positive and friendly atmosphere

• Respect personal boundaries

• Engage honestly and authentically

• Help create a safe environment for everyone

RESPECTFUL BEHAVIOUR

Members must treat one another with dignity and respect at all times.

The following behaviours are not permitted:

• Bullying, intimidation, or harassment

• Aggressive, threatening, or abusive behaviour

• Personal attacks or insulting comments

• Discrimination based on age, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, disability, gender, sexual orientation, or any other protected characteristic

• Deliberately creating conflict or disruption within the community

• Repeated unwanted contact after someone has asked you to stop

PERSONAL BOUNDARIES

Every member has the right to feel safe and comfortable.

Members must:

• Respect personal space and boundaries

• Accept rejection gracefully

• Respect another member's decision not to engage further

• Avoid persistent unwanted communication

• Obtain consent before sharing personal information, photographs, or videos involving other members

No member is ever obligated to continue a conversation, attend an event, exchange contact details, or engage in any form of relationship.

RELATIONSHIPS, DATING AND PERSONAL CONNECTIONS

We recognise that friendships, romantic relationships, and personal connections may naturally develop between members of the Deight Community.

While we welcome genuine connections, members are expected to conduct themselves respectfully and maturely if relationships do not work out.

Members must:

• Treat former partners, dates, and personal connections with respect

• Avoid creating conflict, drama, or division within the community

• Refrain from discussing private relationship matters publicly within community spaces or at events

• Avoid attempts to isolate, exclude, or influence other members against an individual

• Respect requests for space and boundaries following the end of a relationship or personal connection

• Continue behaving courteously at events, even where a former partner or date may be present

The ending of a friendship, date, relationship, or personal connection does not remove a member's right to participate in the community.

Where personal disputes begin negatively impacting the wider community, Deight reserves the right to intervene and take appropriate action to protect the experience of all members.

Members are expected to prioritise the wellbeing of the community above personal disagreements.

The Deight Community is a shared social space. Members are expected to act with maturity and respect, regardless of personal circumstances or relationship outcomes.

EVENT CONDUCT

When attending Deight events, members are expected to:

• Arrive with a positive and respectful attitude

• Treat venue staff, organisers, and fellow members courteously

• Follow any venue rules and policies

• Behave responsibly at all times

• Respect event hosts and organisers

The following may result in immediate removal from an event:

• Aggressive behaviour

• Harassment of any kind

• Excessive intoxication

• Illegal activity

• Behaviour that makes others feel unsafe or uncomfortable

• Refusal to follow instructions from event organisers

SAFETY

The safety of our members is a top priority.

Members should:

• Exercise common sense when meeting new people

• Report concerns to the Deight team promptly

• Respect all safeguarding measures implemented by Deight

If we believe a member poses a risk to others, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate membership immediately.

ONLINE COMMUNITY BEHAVIOUR

Where Deight provides online groups, communities, forums, or messaging platforms, members must:

• Keep discussions respectful and constructive

• Avoid inflammatory or offensive content

• Refrain from posting spam or excessive self-promotion

• Avoid sharing misleading or false information

PRIVACY AND CONFIDENTIALITY

Members should respect the privacy of others.

Without consent, members must not:

• Share personal information belonging to another member

• Publish private conversations

• Share screenshots from private community spaces

• Disclose confidential information learned through community participation

BUSINESS PROMOTION AND SOLICITATION

The Deight Community exists to help members build genuine social connections and friendships. It is not a platform for business promotion, sales, recruitment, prospecting, or lead generation.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy towards unsolicited business promotion.

Members must not:

• Promote products or services to other members

• Attempt to generate leads or sales through the community

• Recruit members into businesses, schemes, programmes, or opportunities

• Send unsolicited business messages or sales communications

• Use events, community spaces, member directories, or social groups for commercial purposes

• Collect member information for marketing purposes

• Distribute promotional materials without prior written approval from Deight

• Use community participation primarily for business development purposes

Any member found using the community for commercial gain, business promotion, recruitment, prospecting, or solicitation may have their membership suspended or terminated immediately without warning or refund.

The Deight Community is a social community first and foremost. Members are expected to participate with the intention of building genuine social connections rather than commercial relationships.

MEMBER FEEDBACK AND COMMUNITY PROTECTION

The wellbeing of the community is a priority for Deight.

Members are encouraged to raise concerns about behaviour that they believe is negatively impacting the community or the experience of other members.

Where concerns are raised regarding a member's conduct, Deight may gather feedback from relevant members, review the circumstances, and determine whether any action is necessary.

While member feedback may be taken into consideration, all decisions regarding warnings, suspensions, event attendance, and membership termination remain at the sole discretion of Deight.

In cases involving serious misconduct, safety concerns, harassment, discrimination, threats, or behaviour that places other members at risk, Deight reserves the right to suspend or terminate membership immediately without prior notice.

Our goal is not to punish individuals, but to protect the integrity, safety, and enjoyment of the community as a whole.

REPORTING CONCERNS

If you experience or witness behaviour that breaches these guidelines, please report it to the Deight team as soon as possible.

Reports will be reviewed fairly and confidentially wherever possible.

We encourage members to report concerns early so issues can be addressed appropriately.

MEMBERSHIP REVIEW AND DISCIPLINARY ACTION

Failure to follow these guidelines may result in:

• Informal warning

• Formal warning

• Temporary suspension

• Removal from events

• Termination of membership

• Permanent exclusion from the community

The severity of action taken will depend on the nature and seriousness of the conduct.

Deight reserves the right to determine appropriate action at its sole discretion.

All decisions relating to membership status are final.

Membership may be suspended or terminated immediately, without warning, where Deight believes a member's conduct is harmful to the community, its members, its reputation, or the overall member experience.

MEMBERSHIP APPROVAL

All membership applications are subject to review and approval.

Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance into the community.

We reserve the right to decline any application where we believe membership may not be in the best interests of the community.

CHANGES TO THESE GUIDELINES

These Community Guidelines may be updated from time to time to ensure the continued safety, integrity, and success of the Deight Community.

Members are responsible for reviewing the latest version of these guidelines.

OUR COMMITMENT

We are committed to building a welcoming, respectful, and enjoyable community where people can create genuine social connections, attend great events, and become part of something positive.

By working together and treating each other with respect, we can ensure the Deight Community remains a place where everyone feels valued, supported, and welcome.
