Our Standards
We are dedicated to providing a harassment-free community space for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, ethnicity, age, religion or similar personal characteristics.
We do not tolerate harassment of other Qonto users in any form, whether publicly or privately.

Community Guidelines
We have put together a few guidelines that we ask community members to adhere to. By being explicit about them, we want to ensure that Qonto community continues to be a supportive place for everyone:
Mutual respect: No matter if you are an administrator, user, facilitator or vendor – please beware of inappropriate behavior and wording at any time. Qonto stands for open communication, respectful interaction and transparency – please keep that in mind, as we strive for an inspiring environment where every single member and participant feels welcome.
Effective communication: “To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others” (Tony Robbins). By listening to understand rather than to respond, we will create a highly productive environment where all community members, no matter what language or background, will be able to communicate effectively.
Mindfulness: Please be mindful of the space, as well as people and their actions around you. We always co-create and every single action can have a major impact on the event or even the community. To create this safe, supportive and highly productive space we need to work together and hold each other accountable.
Request and provide support: Our online as well as offline platforms e.g. in-person events are meant to support exchange and mutual help. Please be open with your requests and questions as there is a good chance not only you, but the whole community can benefit from starting the conversation. In return, please be open to share your knowledge and experience to be an active member of the community.
No tolerance for harassment: We do not tolerate harassment of other Qonto community members in any form, whether publicly or privately. See above (our standards) for further specification of types of harassment.

Communication styles
When communicating with others on Qonto Meetings & Events, via E-Mail or in Slack, it’s important to remember that not everyone communicates in the same way. Some individuals may be neurodivergent, and thus may not communicate in a neurotypical manner. Please endeavor to understand neurological differences when communicating with other community members, so that this space is welcoming for everyone.
Others may learn or understand information differently from you. While someone may understand a diagram or Model at first glance, others may benefit from having a paragraph or two of information to read that explains what the diagram, model, or example does. Remember that what may seem obvious to you may not be to someone else.
We all come from different backgrounds and experiences. As such, keep in mind that not everyone has had access to the same learning tools, education, and experience that you may have. What may seem like an easy or quick solution for you may be difficult to understand or challenging to implement for someone else.
Above all, please be compassionate and empathetic when communicating with others.
