{"items":[{"title":"1. We are a global, diverse community.","defaultOpen":false,"description":"

This is a diverse community of stitchers from all over the world, representing hundreds and thousands of different viewpoints and lived experience. There is a zero tolerance policy for racism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, anti-Semitism, religious intolerance, etc. Posts in violation of this policy will be removed without warning and the poster will be subject to moderation actions.

"},{"title":"2. Be kind.","description":"

Anything that can be said can be said kindly. While we may feel drawn to give help and advice to our fellow stitchers, it may not be our place. Please do not offer unsolicited advice or criticism; likewise, if you are looking for advice, please clearly state so. Aggressive, bullying, or otherwise harmful behaviour will not be tolerated. If you see an interaction that you feel warrants further steps being taken by the moderator team, please report the post using the three-dot menu located at the top right corner of the post.

"},{"title":"3. No politics, only humanity.","description":"

This is not the appropriate space in which to discuss local, national, or world politics. That being said, human rights (including reproductive rights, LGTBQ+ rights, freedom of religion, etc) are not political. They are human.

"},{"title":"4. Problematic creators.","description":"

The administrative and moderation team of Stitchmunity has made the difficult decision to allow artwork and stitched pieces based on the works of problematic artists and writers both past (i.e. Roald Dahl) and present (i.e. JK Rowling). However, while we allow your pieces based on their creative works, any pieces in support of ideals which violate the community guidelines set out here will be removed without warning and the poster will be subject to moderation actions.

"},{"title":"5. Moderation and appeals.","description":"

If you do not agree with a moderation action taken by the team, you may appeal it by emailing dh@stitchmunity.com with your username and the post in question. However, trying to repost the same material will result in the same moderation actions being taken.
