The house
rules.
FWD runs on trust. These aren't fine print — they're the few things that keep this place human. Break them and you're out.
Be a real human.
Real name, real face, real you. No bots, no burner accounts, no pretending to be someone you're not. The whole network depends on people being who they say they are.
Protect the trust.
Only vouch for people you'd genuinely stand behind. A recommendation on FWD carries your name with it — treat it like you're putting your reputation on the line, because you are.
Make intros warm, not weird.
Connect people who both want to meet. Get consent before you forward a Shout or share someone's details. No surprise adds, no setting people up without a heads-up.
No spam, no selling.
FWD isn't a marketing channel. Don't blast your circle, pitch strangers, or treat people like leads. Shout for what you actually need — and help when you actually can.
Look out for each other.
Harassment, hate, and bad-faith behavior end your time here. If something feels off, report it. We'd rather a small, kind network than a big, noisy one.
