Community Rules
This is a campfire, not a marketplace. Every kind of adventurer is welcome here. What follows is how we keep it that way.
1. Dignity is assumed
Every person at the campfire is treated with respect. No shaming. No superiority. No judgment about where someone is on the mountain. The cabin is not a lesser place than the summit. Every stop on the trail is a valid place to be.
2. This is not a marketplace
No selling. No pitching. No self-promotion. No recruiting members into other communities or programs. No DM outreach for business purposes. No presenting yourself as official Big to Strong or claiming endorsement you do not have. The campfire exists for the climb. Not for commerce.
3. Share the journey
Ask questions. Share progress. Support others doing the same. Share how your life is expanding. Activities you have returned to. Things you can do now that you could not before. Moments that mattered. Capacity, confidence, and life access are the metrics that matter here. Weight lost and appearance focused posts are not the primary focus of this community.
Documenting your climb on social media? The Share Your Journey resources at the Trailhead are built for you.
Reporting
If you witness a violation, report it directly to a moderator. Do not engage publicly. Do not call it out in the open. Reports are handled privately. DM a moderator or use the designated report channel.
Enforcement
Violations are handled in three steps. Warning. Removal from the conversation. Ban. The goal is always to preserve the campfire. Not to punish.
The campfire belongs to everyone climbing
Be real. Be respectful. Take action. Help others do the same.
Come as you are. Climb as you can. Help someone else find the trail.
