General & Authorship
Original content on Raye may be authored either by agencies of the community, such as the Office, or by individual members (residents).
Raye members subscribe to a common set of universal observations, beyond which their views roam free as the birds in the sky.
We are, generally, forward-looking and we do not engage in debating the harm in the world. Yet, neither can we serve content that, incidentally or not, propagates the undermining of our people.
Raye strives for integrity and stands behind its members as do members stand behind Raye, though we are not exempt from human error. While members' content, including the one from their residential pages, is subject to light moderation, it might not possibly be verified in its entirety, including for quotations and external references. We will address any eligible inquiries in this regard.
We may, rarely, post external content. If copyrighted, we may post it as "fair use", or after requesting permission from the original author, otherwise. In the case of widely available content, we may take the absence of a response as tacit permission, while we hope that the author, too, will find fulfillment in participating to our endeavor. Should the contrary apply, we will remove such content promptly.
Except for content on members' residential pages, we will, on request, grant permission to others to use our original content provided that they're independent from the platforms of the global regime, and that they do not have political or religious affiliations.

Additional guidelines
The content may be anything useful to the life of the community, and it should be placed in the appropriate segments and locales of Raye (e.g. Health Point, Travel, Shows, School, and so on).
It can come in the form of essays, reviews and ratings, how-to's, news (in science, wellness, tech, etc.), artwork, designs, and so on, or as functional development, from small stores to a school, for example, with the complex aspects which that comprises.
The content must be largely original, proofread for sound grammar and style, and, as summarized in the section above, it must be forward-looking - exploratory, constructive, solution-oriented - and refrain from debating current socio-political matters or late history of the world. The content may not misrepresent the community's Elements and it should denote pertinence, integrity, and some fine seasoning. Comments should pass the same standards.
You may use supporting references and external material that is either free of copyrights or used per our policy above. You may use personal photos and information at your will and, naturally, at your sole responsibility.
You may use external venues (links) provided that: (1) they are used lightly and only when the function or content cannot be produced or provided within Raye at the time, and (2) they are verified for safe and unharmful content, and (3) they are made accessible through Raye's interstitial space, only.
Transactions in venues outside of Raye cannot, by default, be made in RCU.
Unless called for by a specific locale (e.g. Den, Galleries), media should be used sparringly, and always as small samples or through links.

O f f i c e
The Office handles Raye's day-to-day administrative tasks. It is currently served by volunteering members of the Founding Group (see Funds › Founding Group), from virtual locations. If needed, office staff may become available to meet with residents in the Hall.
For all matters, contact the Office by using the general contact form and protocol, and add the subject matter atop the message body. (close)
