1. Introduction

   Mostlywater.org is run by a small group of folks now known as the Mostly Water Collective. This project exists to provide communications resources to those who we identify as allies in the struggle against capitalism and for a better world. To find out more about the Mostly Water Collective, you can read our Mission Statement or our About Us page.

   Members of Mostly Water are asked to keep in mind that our facilities exist in order to provide grassroots activists who share a core set of values, as outlined in our Basis of Unity, a place to create and share information. We prioritize work according to The Collective's politics and to the general political climate. The Collective also makes decisions based on how the actions of one member affect the Mostly Water community as a whole.

   Mostly Water retains the right to refuse assistance to users based on workload or on treatment of admin workers. Mostly Water is run by volunteer administrators who wish to engage in relationships based on mutual respect and mutual aid. We ask that users engage with us on that basis. We will strive to involve members in resolving problems, when feasible.

   This agreement sets out how Mostly Water facilities may or may not be used. Many of the guidelines will be obvious, however, we state them here so there will be no confusion or doubt over what is or is not acceptable.

   You should read this Member Agreement periodically as we may change it to include new issues that arise in connection with member use of facilities or the way we administer services.

   If we have reasonable grounds to suspect you are in breach of this Member Agreement, and refuse to work with the Collective in order to redress the breach, or you do anything which would put us in breach of our obligations to others - we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the facilities. We will give you notice of suspension or termination as soon as it is practical to do so.

2. Mutual Aid

   The Mostly Water project depends heavily on the support of its members. Members are highly encouraged to make annual contributions of either money or social labour in order to support the real costs of this project. There is currently no structure in place at the moment for financial contributions but trust us, we'll let you know when there is.

   If you are interested in contributing social labour to Mostly Water, contact us. We mostly need members who are actively posting news content either from other sites or orignial content.

3. General Use

   New accounts can be applied for here. Accounts are free.

   Member accounts that remain unused for three months after initial set-up, or which remain dormant for a period of six months at any other time may be removed. Mostly Water will attempt to make contact with account owners within a reasonable time frame before removal. Arrangements can be made with Mostly Water by members to circumvent account removal in special circumstances.

   Mostly Water facilities should not be used either directly or indirectly:

   1. to transmit material counter to the Basis of Unity, material that is invasive of another's privacy, or material that disparages or insults any individual or group, based on race, ethnicity, gender, nationality, sexual orientation, disability, or other immutable characteristic;
   2. to transmit or cause to be transmitted any advertising, promotional or other materials that are unsolicited (commonly known as "spam");
   3. to engage in commercial or for-profit activity;
   4. to transmit or cause to be transmitted mail bombs, chain letters, chain petitions or pyramid schemes.
4. Content

   Material posted on Mostly Water that is counter to the Basis of Unity may be removed at the discretion of the Mostly Water Collective in consultation with the member responsible for the content.

   Material posted containing for-profit and commercial content will be removed without notice.

   Members wishing to post multi-media and streaming content must contact the Mostly Water Collective before doing so in order to ensure that such content does not put an undue amount of pressure on bandwidth or hosting resources.

5. Security

   Members of the Mostly Water Collective exercise discretion and security in their work as system administrators and as activists, and ask that members take security considerations seriously when accessing the facilities. Mostly Water recommends that all members check out http://security.resist.ca
