Respect - That's what ActiveRain Community Guidelines Are All About

 


Respect the Real Estate Industry, fair housing laws, and the ActiveRain community. That is what the Community Guidelines are all about.

For me, that includes keeping our blogs professional at all times and not degrading our industry in any way on the public posts. I feel we should also keep our political and religious view personal on the public posts. You don't know who you are going to insult if you say the wrong things and that could cost us business. This is also a way to keep with the fair housing laws. Part of those laws is: "It is illegal for anyone to Advertise or make any statement that indicates a limitation or preference based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, or handicap. Not all have the same views on subjects regardless of what we may think. 

Being in the ActiveRain community has helped my business substantially. For this community to continue to be the wonderful place it is, we must all strive to respect each other and be able to trust that we all have each other's backs. I must say in the 8 years I have been on ActiveRain, I have never had a bad encounter with any other member. I'm not sure that can be said for many other platforms!!

I too love the civility here in the Rain. I will say however that on occasion I will make a political statement (like calling out paid political protesters) and I often express my faith here Sheila Newton Team -- Anderson & Greenville SC Real Estate but usually only post it to Active Rain Faith groups (which there are many). I am very vocal locally here in Minot ND and interestingly enough more of my clients are of the opposite view... I guess they appreciate my honesty and the integrity I show by standing by my beliefs.
