Welcome to the Daisy Dink Community! :blossom::yellow_circle:

This is your space to connect, learn, and grow with fellow pickleball enthusiasts. Just like on the court, we play with respect, strategy, and a love for the game. To keep this community fun, positive, and engaging, we’ve set a few ground rules—think of them as good sportsmanship for our online conversations.

:trophy: Keep the Conversation Going

Every post is a chance to uplift, inspire, or educate. Whether you’re sharing tips, asking for advice, or celebrating a win, make sure your contributions add value. Before you start a new topic, check out existing ones—you might find players already discussing what’s on your mind!

We believe in respectful competition, on and off the court. If you disagree with someone, challenge the idea, not the person. That means:
:no_entry_sign: No name-calling or personal attacks
:no_entry_sign: No dismissive or aggressive responses
:no_entry_sign: No arguing for argument’s sake

Instead, aim for thoughtful, constructive discussions. If you wouldn’t say it to an opponent mid-match, it doesn’t belong here!

:yellow_circle: Your Participation Shapes the Game

Every player makes a difference. The way you engage sets the tone for the entire community. Use features like:
:heavy_check_mark: Likes to acknowledge great contributions
:triangular_flag_on_post: Flags to report inappropriate behavior
:star: Bookmarks to save discussions for later

If you see bad behavior, don’t engage—flag it instead. Our moderation team is here to facilitate, not police, and we rely on you to help keep this community in top form.

:raised_hands: Play with Integrity

This is a space for friendly, fair, and honest play. Keep it classy and follow these simple rules:
:white_check_mark: Be respectful – No personal attacks, harassment, or hate speech.
:white_check_mark: Keep it clean – No obscene, explicit, or inappropriate content.
:white_check_mark: Respect privacy – Don’t share private info, yours or anyone else’s.
:white_check_mark: No spam – No self-promotion, duplicate posts, or off-topic diversions.

:round_pushpin: Stay Organized

A well-structured game flows better, and so does a well-organized community.
:heavy_check_mark: Post in the correct categories
:heavy_check_mark: Avoid duplicate topics
:heavy_check_mark: Keep conversations focused
:heavy_check_mark: Use the Like button instead of “+1” comments

:loudspeaker: Share Your Own Content

If you didn’t create it, don’t post it unless you have permission. No sharing pirated content or breaking any copyright laws.
