Community Guidelines – Engagement Positive
Welcome to Ththomable — where good design meets smart living and every idea is treated with care. Our community is a gathering place for thoughtful creators, inventive homeowners, and curious minds who know that a well-lived space begins with honest conversation. Founded by Deyvian Selmorne in Louisville, Kentucky, Ththomable is more than just a destination for interior insight — it’s a community cultivated by shared progress, useful knowledge, and mutual respect.
Whether you’re exploring the fundamentals of home function, diving into modern décor, or innovating with DIY know-how, these guidelines are here to make sure everyone feels welcomed, understood, and supported. Because creativity doesn’t thrive in chaos — it grows best in an environment where thoughts are nurtured, dialogue remains open, and kindness always has the last word.
Our Shared Values
Every strong home sits on a solid foundation — and every strong community does too. At Ththomable, our foundation is built with the following values:
- Respect: We treat every participant’s voice with dignity — whether novice or expert, casual browser or daily contributor.
- Clarity and Honesty: We believe questions should be welcome and answers should be real. Say what you know, cite when you share, and admit when you’re learning.
- Uplift Through Insight: Offer help, advice, or critique in a way that builds up, not breaks down. Guidance isn’t a lecture — it’s a gift.
- Inclusivity: Great homes — and great ideas — come in every shape, size, and budget. Diverse perspectives enrich our shared home dialogue.
- Civility: Listen. Breathe. Then respond. Kind culture leads to brilliant collaboration.
How We Interact
Whether you’re swapping tips on smart storage, suggesting wall color combinations, or helping a member fix an under-sink leak, your voice shapes the tone of our house. Here’s how we keep it bright, respectful, and grounding:
- Speak generously: Assume good intent. Even minor tone adjustments — “Here’s a thought…” vs. “You’re doing it wrong.” — change everything.
- Attribute Meaningfully: Link to a source when quoting facts. Name fellow contributors whose ideas you build on. Thoughtful credit signals integrity.
- Keep the topic tight: Bring insights that relate to the thread. If unsure, feel free to open a new one.
- Be welcoming: Respond to first-time posters. Wave newcomers in, not out.
Conversation here is not just about right or wrong. It’s about problem-solving, idea-iterating, and helping everyone find their footing in the creative chaos of making a home.
Respectful Participation
This community is a space for authenticity and usefulness — not for mockery, spam, or empty provocation. Here’s what respectful participation looks like in practice:
- Thoughtful disagreement over design opinions? Great. Personal attacks? Never.
- Asking a question you think might be “too basic”? Always welcome.
- Leaving a cheerful compliment when someone posts their first DIY results? Strongly encouraged.
- Posting unsolicited promotions or inflammatory comments? That’s a quick way to get removed.
You don’t need to be perfect — just engaged in a way that builds something solid. Think of it like a well-worn piece of furniture: purpose matters more than polish.
Moderation and Safety
Moderation is quiet here — not policing, just pruning. Our aim isn’t to silence, but to protect the creative atmosphere we’ve cultivated together. If you post something openly harmful, off-topic, or dishonest, it may be flagged and, if needed, removed. Repeated disruption could lead to limited participation. We take this responsibility seriously because we believe in what we’re building — and we want every voice to feel safe here to contribute.
If you see something concerning or confusing, please contact us directly at [email protected]. We’ll listen carefully, and act fairly.
Proper Sharing and Attribution
Sharing is the lifeblood of learning — so we encourage it. If you’re quoting, resharing, or remixing someone else’s idea or tutorial, give full credit along with the link or source. It could be another contributor. It could be an article you saw here. Have a tip that references guidance from a recent feature? Drop the link. For instance, if you’re referencing clever lighting ideas from a recent insight, connect others by directing them back to our Home Fundamentals page.
This helps others find the source — and reminds us that creativity scales best when it’s collaborative and well-credited.
Privacy and Personal Boundaries
Respect each other’s right to privacy, both on and off the page. Never post or request personal information — yours or anyone else’s — in a public comment or group. Please review our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and Terms of Service to understand how we protect data and your online experience here at Ththomable. Think of your contributions just like porch talk: warm, open — but never overreaching.
Opportunities to Collaborate
Creativity, like a well-built shelf, holds more when it’s reinforced with good teamwork. We deeply welcome contributors interested in shaping the direction of our content, features, and tools. Think you have something valuable to add or a perspective we could learn from?
Reach out and introduce yourself — partnerships and creative involvement strengthen this home we’re building together.
