The Community Covenant
This is not a platform. This is a promise we make to one another.
We are accountable to each other — not to corporations, not to governments, not to algorithms. This covenant is how we protect our community, our safety, and our freedom.
Our Community Rules
No Judgment. Zero.
All bodies, lifestyles, dietary choices, healing paths, and family structures are honored here. We do not police each other’s lives. This is a judgment-free zone permanently.
Honesty in Every Exchange
Describe your offerings accurately. Disclose any known allergens in food or herbs. Represent your skills honestly. Trust is the currency of this network.
Respect for All Bodies and Health
All wellness paths are valid — herbalism, midwifery, massage, traditional medicine, and beyond. Do not pressure others toward or away from any health choice. Honor bodily autonomy absolutely.
Protect Our Children and Families
Any content harmful to minors will result in immediate and permanent removal. The safety of children and families is non-negotiable. Elders and caregivers are to be treated with deep respect.
Money Is Secondary
This is a barter-first economy. Listings that exploit members financially or prioritize profit over community wellbeing will be removed. Support local businesses gently, not aggressively.
No Harassment. No Hate.
Racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, religious discrimination, or any form of targeted harassment will result in immediate removal. We build each other up or we say nothing at all.
State Stewards Are Your Guides
Each state has a community steward who moderates, supports, and mediates disputes. They are community members, not authorities. Reach out to your steward before escalating any issue.
Safety in Every Meeting
Always meet first in a public place. Trust your instincts. Tell someone where you are going. Report any unsafe interactions immediately. Your safety comes first, always.
The Three Strike Rule
We protect this community by holding every member accountable to the same standard.
⚠️ Strike One — Warning
First violation gets a direct warning from your State Steward. You have 48 hours to respond and correct the issue.
🚫 Strike Two — Suspension
Second violation results in a 30 day suspension. All listings removed. A written appeal can be submitted to TheNet@networkexchangetrade.com
❌ Strike Three — Permanent Ban
Third violation results in permanent removal with no appeal. Your safety and the community’s safety comes first always.
Strictly Prohibited
Grounds for immediate permanent removal from the community
