How Life in the Corridor Will Change After the Manifesto
In the life of any large subculture, there comes a moment when it outgrows the stage of chaotic "hanging out" and requires clear guidelines and principles for participants to coexist. For us, that turning point was the appearance of the Manifesto. This isn't something to be wary of, and we'll now explain why.
The Manifesto isn't simply a set of rules or bureaucratic formality; it's a public declaration of intentions, an ethical code, and the terms of interaction amongst community members. Put simply, it's an instruction manual for comfortable communication in the Corridor that takes everyone's general needs into account.
You already know that we're an apolitical non-commercial community that has the means and platform to support you and your creativity. We're not interested in making money, because our priority is the development and popularisation of the subculture in its best manifestations. However, you're welcome to support us financially if you wish.
“Як Маніфест впливає на мене?”
Our Manifesto is structured to encompass all spheres of community life: from global ideas to rules of behaviour in chat. Our pillars are honesty, transparency, openness, mutual respect, Ukraine-centricity, morality, legality, responsibility, and fairness. Don't be afraid of these words, because they're here for your comfort.
We're a Ukrainian furry community, so we encourage the creation of and support Ukrainian content. This doesn't mean that content in other languages is prohibited. You're free to act at your own discretion, guided by our values and rules.
We value and support honesty in communication and intentions. The actions of Corridor representatives have no hidden agendas, as our goal is to unite. In turn, it's impossible to coexist in a large community without mutual respect. If misunderstandings arise, we turn to the rules of morality and ethics and find compromise. Only in cases where the listed values are disregarded, or when the question of legality arises, does the Corridor, within the limits of its capabilities, hold people accountable.
Note that in our opinion, everyone who shares these values should have a second chance, so everyone has the right to a place amongst us, and it's up to you how you make use of this opportunity.
So What Are the Rules of the "Game"?
Our rules essentially encompass the listed values and supplement them. For example, on Corridor resources there's a strict prohibition on 18+ content, except for educational content with substantial restrictions and prior agreement. In this way, we create a safe space for anyone who decides to connect their life with the furry subculture.
The Corridor doesn't discriminate on any grounds, if a participant's actions/intentions/words align with our values and don't violate the rules.
Thematic advertising on our resources is only permitted with prior agreement from Corridor representatives and on behalf of the Corridor.
Such phenomena as spam, propaganda, aggression, or the use of alternative accounts (twinks) are not acceptable and lead to removal from the community.
“Як мені доєднатись до Коридору?”
The doors of the Corridor are open both to individual furriesand to entire chats/channels that are ready to accept our rules and values.
For ordinary participants, it's sufficient simply to join Corridor resources and adhere to the Manifesto. If you join the Corridor, you automatically agree to the Manifesto, so we strongly encourage you to familiarise yourself with it.
For chat and community administrators (Partnership): If you want your chat to become part of this ecosystem, receive technical support and an influx of new audience, you need to complete the following steps:
- Familiarisation: Carefully re-read the ManifestoYou must be prepared to implement these values in your chat.
- Submitting an application:
- Method 1 (Via the website): There's a section or form on the website called "Add a Community". Fill it in, indicating the details of your resource.
- Спосіб 2 (Особистий контакт – рекомендовано): For faster consideration and resolution of organisational matters, contact the Corridor leadership directly.
“Якщо мене необґрунтовано вилучили з локальної спільноти?”
In the event that you believe you've been unfairly removed from Corridor partner chats, you can submit an appeal to the Corridor Administration. In this case, the Corridor acts as an "arbitration court" and, upon confirmation that you're in the right, helps resolve the matter.
Remember, the Corridor exists for all of us.
