IMPORTANT: Please note that we are striving to make CommunityCause.org “The Happiest Place on the Internet” and a very positive experience for all. For this reason, anyone found to have a confirmed incident of cyberbullying on this website or bullying in the real world will be subject to having all of their postings deleted and will not be allowed to post projects. This behavior along with complaining, badmouthing, railing against individuals, organizations, politics or other issues will not be allowed. There are plenty of places on the internet where this is allowed. It does not fit the goal and mission of CommunityCause.org and all such postings will be deleted! The one exception is in “What Bugs You?” projects where you are asked to describe what is not working so that we all can make an effort to make a positive change. Everywhere else on the CommunityCause.org website is geared towards striving to create projects that make the world a better place.
A good rule of thumb before posting is to ask yourself these questions before posting anywhere on CommunityCause.org:
Is it true?
Is it necessary?
Is it kind?
and
Is it helpful? Does it help us to solve a social or environmental problem? Does it help us accomplish our goals?
Thank you for helping CommunityCause.org to fulfill its mission! Thank you for helping us to have a positive influence in the world!
