🎯 HOW TO USE IT:

  1. Define your community values

  2. Generate guidelines

  3. Pin at top of community

  4. Reference when onboarding

  5. Enforce consistently

💡 PRO TIP: The best communities are self-policing. When you set the tone early and model good behavior, members enforce guidelines for you. Culture > rules.
