Zimbio's membership guidelines are always a work in progress. If you have suggestions, please let us know.

General Membership Guidelines

Respect other members. Please.... no personal attacks, no threats, try not to be rude. Treat others as you would have them treat you.

Make positive contributions. Add, edit, rate, and delete content in order to ease the burden of your fellow travelers. Help us make Zimbio a valuable and interesting website.

Be accountable. Take credit. Be who you are. Don’t set up lots of puppet accounts. Don’t remain anonymous.

Actions speak louder than words. If you see a problem, fix it. If you make a mistake, revert it.

Vandalism sucks. Spam sucks. Self promotion sucks. Please don’t do these things on Zimbio.

Keep it clean. No NC-17 rated content please. Aim for PG-13.

Editors set the agenda. Opinions are encouraged on Zimbio. If there are content disputes, Editors can intervene. If you want to surface a different point of view and the Editor won’t let you, start a new zine with that alternative point of view.

“Stay cool”. Try to resolve disputes within the community and not get angry about inappropriate member behavior. If something is a well-intentioned error, correct it without just deleting it. If you can, help mediate disagreements between other members.

Participate. Everyone has something to add and we hope you give it a try.

Share. Share knowledge. Share ideas. Share links and photos. Share responsibility for the zines that you create.

Keep it readable. Post headlines and titles that make sense to people and avoid over-capitalization or punctuation.

Be Patient. It takes some time for a zine to gain critical mass. Eventually you’ll start to see "the signal from the noise"…but it might take a little while for this to happen.
