Zero Drama Policy? Dec 12, 2013 11:15:09 GMT -5

One recommendation I received was for a Zero Drama Policy.

Basically, you promise not to be a jerk. People being jerks can be 'voted' off the island after one warning. No one, including myself, would be immune.

I'm not sure this is a good form of Radical Inclusion, but I think we do all need to agree to not antagonize each other, to respect each others personal space, and boundaries regarding that space, and to TRY to get along. If anyone can't get along with someone else, then they should BOTH be responsible for not interacting with each other.

Anyone have opinions on how to set fair rules that doesn't leave anyone out in the cold?

I would say the one caveat would be after the camps are setup cause I would imagine it can be a cranky experience.

Pretty much this and this some more. We should have "Drama" mediators selected and everyone can vote on those people so that everyone knows when tempers flare we can have someone unbiased help talk things through. We are all adults in one fashion or another. We should be able to play nice enough.

I can try to mediate disputes but it only works if people WANT to get along.

I completely agree, people have to be open, accepting, and WANT to get along. While I would hope that this doesn't apply to anyone in this camp it would be a good idea to be prepared for such a worst case scenario. I think designating a couple of level-headed members to be "drama interventionists" upon arrival may not be such a bad idea.
