The Basic “Rules”
We ask all members to observe the following (or risk post deletion).
- This is for Greatland chat only. Please refrain from discussing other shares (This includes crypto and the wider macro). There is an exception, for companies that are related by boundary only, as well as Gold, Copper, and Newmont Mining. (all of which must be relatable). (We acknowledge that there is an element of the wider macro that affects Greatland Gold, there is a forum for this discussion on GGPChat.co.uk)
- Memes, gifs, and what you think is funny are not accepted in this chat.
- Profanity – stay classy, profanity is not necessary.
- Abuse will NOT be tolerated – Respect others, steer clear of taunting or provocation.
-Links should be cited, and reasons given for posting. Images or links without a note of the source, content or reason may be removed as they will be viewed as spam.
-Operational Times: The chat will be open from 19:00 Sunday to 18:00 Friday, outside of these times, “news” can be forwarded to the Admin/Support team for promulgation via the highlights channel.
-Shareholdings: your wealth and plans of execution are not welcome (see “Shares” for more information).
The Community Standard.
Opinions.
Opinions are largely subjective but are appreciated to an extent and form a large part of the daily discussions, any post that is not a “fact” (verifiable with a source), should be noted to be an opinion with #conjecture
There may be times when opinions are not required (extreme circumstances) at which point ONLY facts may be presented and discussed. This will be made very clear by the admin and paired with slow mode.
Shares. (including, holdings, trading, and actions).
- We run a zero-tolerance policy on shareholdings including the buying of, selling of, or talking about entry and exit points in a personal capacity. This is to avoid any kind of claims of manipulation. Further to being unbiased, this group does not care how many shares you own, any claims to ownership will be removed. 100 shares or 100m, all members are considered equal. Level 2.
Level 2 may be available throughout the day, the admin team have agreed that “L2 Andy” will supply when he is free to do so but is not a given that this data will be supplied, nor be available, should you request L2 at any time it is EXPECTED that you will say please and thank you. These words are NOT optional.
Members are free to post screenshots of the tape to show large volume trades that may be of interest from time to time, but members should not spam the board with information on a trade-by-trade basis. (except for pre-approved data suppliers).
The “tape” should be viewed as a list of trades, and not a list of buys and sells.
When L2 data is posted it is expected that you will remove previous images to save clogging the board.
Chat.
Admin holds the right to exercise discretion when live price action can be discussed.
At times of overly high traffic regardless of mood, we will reduce the number of messages that you will be able to post with a time limit between postings.
Sensationalism, we know what we own, we know why we are holding, and notes that are overtly sensational for, or against the company, will be removed.
As this is not a public space, if you are going to take a post from our chat, it is polite to ask the OP if this is okay, and please cite the OP as the source who found the information.
i.e. (“Thanks to the Jollycodger on Telegram”)
Your Behaviour.
Mood can affect the tone of your post, we ask all members to speak as they expect to be spoken to, misunderstandings are commonplace, where tones and expressions cannot be determined. It is expected that you will always show respect to all members. It is commonplace for a post to be edited after posting, so allow time for corrections to avoid misunderstandings.
Failure to uphold this expectation falls outside any of the etiquette or standards that are posted above, and you could find yourself receiving a warning.
Muting.
Minor misdemeanours – No warnings
Posters who are arguing, flouting rules, or unable to calm down once a line has been drawn, will be muted, for approximately 30 mins. Should there be a larger number of posters, caught in the room with no visible way of de-escalation the room will either be placed into “slow mode” or turned off for a “Tea Break” at the admins’ discretion.
The use of certain words or phrases that are not allowed will mute your account automatically or gain a response from “Rose” the bot employed to watch the board. this list can and will change periodically. An automatic mute event does not qualify as a noted warning against your name. (Unless you are noted to be a repeat offender). The list of words and phrases can be found under #notes.
Warnings.
Should any of the admin or support team deem your words or actions to be disruptive and outside what is acceptable, a warning will be issued to you.
Warning 1 – muted for the rest of the day. (Minimum of 12 hours.)
Warning 2 – muted for 24 hours.
Warning 3 – you won’t know much about it; You will be kicked from the group.
At the time of publishing this version of these notes 90 days has been stated for guidance on how long a warning will last.
Warnings have a 90-day life unless a 2nd warning is issued, in which case, the life of the first warning is increased to 180 days.
The Support Team Standard – Our Behaviour towards You.
When an Admin or Member of the Support team is acting as such we will prefix our message with ADMIN: this is to separate personal, and admin roles, and for every to identify admin actions. Admin actions are now logged in a separate channel.
All warnings and actions will be posted publicly to the chat, and a reason for the muting or warning will also be published.
Attempts to abuse or contact the admin or support team members after an action is carried out will result in an instant warning being issued of the next level – There is a review process in place that will consider if you have been unfairly or unjustly treated.
“The Team” now consists of Seven members, two admin, and five “support” members who are very different in the way they approach the Telegram chat. The team has a chat group that is used to discuss the operational needs of the board.
The Admin, Liam, and Stuart are owners of the group, The support team; (Choddy, Dip, J C, Rational Assessor, and Torham) are there to help the admin team, but they also hold them to account concerning behaviour and their actions. This is to try and ensure that impartiality and fairness are always exercised.
There is no requirement for the support team to act as an “admin”, but the option is there should a situation arise, and they deem it necessary to take control of the chat.
Whilst it is not possible to mute an admin due to system limitations. – it will be publicly noted and a requirement for the admin to “take a walk” at a time when the admins themselves are deemed to be acting inappropriately. The support team will then take control of the board until they agree that the admin can carry out duties without bias or prejudice.
Review.
All actions resulting in warnings being issued will be reviewed by the team, this oversight will ensure that it is considered fairly, and should further action be applicable by way of revoking warnings, leaving them as they are or adding additional structure to this document, then the team will carry this out behind closed doors. – The team will not communicate to the offending member unless an apology is deemed to be an appropriate action. Which will be made public. Decisions arising from the oversight panel are final.
Admins being told to take a walk will also be reviewed, with the hope of not repeating the same action a second time. The support team also seeks to learn from mistakes that may happen from time to time. It is noted that Human Factors are an issue in all parts of life, only a proactive, and willingness to learn from itself is the only way it will improve its function.
