Hello everyone! This PSA is all about community !

**EDIT - JAN/13/2019

We want to ensure you are all aware of what type of we can help with, and show the proper channels to us. is super important and very useful for s and alike! We take really seriously, and without it we may not recognize areas where improvements can be made. I think most of us have a common goal to keep this community thriving, and a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone.

✦ ✦ ✦

We have an Anonymous Form. As many have noted they were unaware of it’s existence, we thought we should give you all the deets!

First, what kind of can we help with?

There is confusion at times as to what the leadership team can and cannot help with. This section is simply to clear up some common misconceptions!

We can help with :white_check_mark: :

↠ Ideas for OWC’s, community events, aesthetics or overall any cool ideas you have!

↠ Constructive criticism on content we create (eg. Podcasts, PSA’s, Monthly Bulletin etc.)

↠ Our own COMMUNITY Guidelines for P&W

↠ Constructive criticism where leaders and curators can improve as a whole in our interactions with the community *

✦ ✦ ✦

What we can’t help with :x:

↠ Technical aspects of the app. Despite having a stand alone app that can be ed separately from the main amino app, we control nothing in the coding or function. That is all controlled by Amino. Therefore we can’t make adjustments to things like chat capacity, better app usability etc.

↠ Amino Guidelines. They are placed at the bottom of our guidelines page (as they are in every community on the platform). We do not have the ability to change them.  

↠ Amino coins, ads, etc. Again, we don’t control any coding in the app, and we don’t have the ability to control these functions.   

You can Amino directly!

In order to address concerning the amino app, we highly recommend sending them any you have. You can amino by opening your side menu, clicking “settings” (located under “options”), clicking “”, and filling out their forms.

Or you can click the link below!

Community Chatroom

EDIT:

This chat has recently been removed from the app. The chat was unfortunately misused. For this reason, we felt it was better to get rid of it, and just continue with the regular anonymous .

:sparkles: Please know that you can still pm curators or leaders about any or concerns! :sparkles:

Anonymous Form

In the community census we did in October 2018, we had a section near the end for . As the census survey was completely anonymous, many people took this opportunity to give us real, honest about how we can improve. This is some of the most helpful information we have ever received in of improving our community. Due to this, we felt it would be a great idea to make this an ongoing feature.

We have created an anonymous Google form for to fill out and give us . It functions exactly as the public chat; except you are anonymous. We can’t help with personal conflicts because of this, but you can write any ideas you have if you are too shy to come in person. Although nobody would be in trouble for giving legitimate , I know a lot of people have anxiety, and this is a safe way to express your ideas.

It is also super helpful, as it makes it easy to keep track of trends and frequent requests! When we notice trends, we can take a look at issues, or change our approach. It’s so valuable, so chime in anytime! Any idea, big or small.

Here is the form below!

P&W Anonymous

✦ ✦ ✦

* NOTE If you are having a personal issue with a member of the team, please take screenshots, flag, or PM a leader you trust to address the situation. Or you can submit a form to Amino to address the issue. Please do not use public means to shame or target an individual of the leadership team. We are open to , but we will not allow public callouts or harassment towards any member, curator or leader. This only causes confusion, and drama.
