Community Guidelines

Welcome to the School of Traditional Skills Community!

This Community is here to provide you with: 

• Support and encouragement in your journey to a more resilient lifestyle 
• A place to ask questions you may have on various topics 
• Connections with like-minded people who just get it 

. . . Plus much, much more!

We want to make sure it’s a safe space and remains a high-quality resource for all members, which is why we offer these simple and evolving guidelines and strive to uphold them in all Community interactions at all times…

Be careful with link sharing 

• To keep our space free of spam and phishing, please explain why you are sharing a link. Self-promotion or affiliate links for outside products is discouraged unless directly answering a member's question.

Be kind

• We’re here to celebrate wins, help each other improve our skills, and create community. If you have any concerns, please feel free to reach out to us.

Be hospitable

• This is a safe and fun place where we support each other and share various experiences and stories.

Please be aware that any material you post may become public. (For example, for use in our testimonials.)

• As with all online places, exercise care when choosing what to share, and err on the side of caution.
• By sharing your wins and photos here, you grant STS permission to feature them in our newsletters or testimonials to inspire others. If you’d prefer a specific post remain private to this group, just add *Community Only* to your post.
• We encourage you to share your own journey! However, please respect the privacy of others. Do not share another member's photos, personal stories, or private struggles outside of this community without their express permission.
• STS cannot distribute member contact information or mediate exchanges outside of the STS Community.

The STS Community is a family-friendly environment for all.

• Language, subject matter, and etiquette should be, in style and nature, as close as possible to acceptable to people of all ages, cultures, and beliefs.
• Discussion of controlled substances and illegal activities is not permitted.

It rarely happens, but . . .

• Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in removal from the STS Community or revocation of membership.
