| Noisebridge's [[Vision]] eschews the use of rules, which is why these are guidelines. Historically, the membership has noticed that certain actions are good for the space and other actions [[Drama|cause problems]]. This is a list of guidelines to help you determine whether something you're considering is a good idea.

| | |
| We're not Wikipedia, but many ideas here are explained much more articulately in Wikipedia's list of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Policies_and_guidelines|key policies and guidelines], especially the ideas that it's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NOTBUREAUCRACY|not a bureaucracy], that it operates on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Consensus|the basis of consensus], and that ultimately, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Ignore_all_rules|you can ignore rules that don't apply to you].

| = The List =
| |
| | |
| * Don't sleep at Noisebridge. It's a regulatory violation that can get us in trouble. If money is a problem, have a look at our page of [[Starving hackers|starving hacker resources]] for ways to get around and crash if you're short on cash.
| |
| * Bringing minors to Noisebridge might result in them being exposed to ideas outside of your control, and you probably shouldn't bring them if that's going to be a problem.
| |
| * Bringing pets hasn't historically been a serious problem, since we have a pretty big space and allergic folks can usually relocate. You should still ask around and meet people to find out, though!
| |
| * If you're going to smoke, smoke downstairs on the sidewalk. The space isn't really designed with smokers in mind, and it's irritating to some people.
| |
| * At least one Noisebridge member is seriously allergic to marijuana smoke, so please don't smoke it in the space or nearby.
| |
| * Don't talk about politics or religion if you want to avoid conflict. Noisebridge attracts a certain kind of personality that gets irate when they suspect someone thinks they're wrong, and even mentioning you support a different political or religious group than them can really push their buttons if they're having a bad day.
| |
| * Going on the roof is almost certainly a violation of our lease agreement. Don't do it without talking to someone who knows about the lease details.
| |
| * Taking stuff from the space temporarily without leaving a note with your contact info is a surefire way to cause problems. Taking stuff permanently, even if everyone agrees it needs to go, can cause tax issues which you should bring up at the weekly meetings.
| |
| * Please ask before playing music through the public audio systems, especially if people are quietly enjoying the space.
