Welcome to the BARN Online Community Platform! We’re thrilled to have you join our vibrant virtual community. This platform allows BARN members aged 14+ to share ideas, knowledge, and creativity.

BARN is committed to creating and maintaining a safe and respectful environment for all participants, so before you dive into discussions, please take a moment to review and agree to the following guidelines:

Respectful Conduct: We foster an environment of mutual respect and understanding. Be kind, inclusive, respectful, and show care for others. Keep conversations relevant and on-topic. Hate speech, harassment, bullying, discrimination, or any form of abusive behavior will not be tolerated.

No Solicitation: This platform is for the free exchange of ideas and enriching conversations. It is also a digital bulletin board where members share calls for entries, community events, and opportunities of mutual interest. But while we value networking and collaboration, the platform will not be used for solicitation. Please refrain from listing items and services for sale in general discussion rooms. Links for paid classes/tutorials from other organizations and for-profit activities unrelated to BARN are prohibited.

Intellectual Property: Respect the intellectual property rights of others. Do not share copyrighted material without permission; always give credit where credit is due.

Privacy and Confidentiality: Protect the privacy and confidentiality of fellow members. Do not share others’ personal information without consent.

Moderation: Our moderators help maintain a positive and inclusive environment. They reserve the right to remove content or suspend accounts violating these guidelines.

Using the BARN Online Community Platform means you agree to abide by these principles and contribute to creating a welcoming and enriching community experience. We believe that together, we can foster a space where creativity thrives, knowledge flourishes, and meaningful connections are formed.

Thank you for being a valued member of our community. Let’s build something great together!
