  initiatives termsofservice webservices wiki

  • Of course no online community provider dares to say "Stay poor!" to their members in its terms of service. But nevertheless, if you carefully read the smallprint you'll find words or tacit lores like: 

     

    • only for private use 
    • not for commercial use 
    • no Spam allowed 
    • no links to (commercial active) external sites allowed (Yes, the author remembers the time, when in some communities all kinds of external links were forbidden) 
    • user grants the copyright to the service provider (possibly, but not necessarily a CopyrightTrap)  
    • restricting the incentives to small beer values "affiliation, recognition, accomplishment" that are abundant in every online-community (from "SelfishVolunteer") 
    • statements like: "Usually this is paid badly but my personal feeling in doing so is good, and I know quite a number of people that share this attitude." 
    • .. (please complete the list) 
     

     The reason for this WikiPage, which is at the same time a tag, and a TrailMark in the FireTrail: CreatingAndSharingWealth is: 

     

    • to help peers to save time for finding an appropriate community, especially a wiki, where they can realize a CommunityWiki:WikiWayOfLife, which integrates the economic participation. 
    • to help community founders and community service providers to make their venture more attractive to new and highly creative users, who otherwise would be forced to work elsewhere for money.

  Some OnlineCommunity, or better CommunityServiceProvider, have in their TOS (TermsOfService) a StayPoor? clause. Let's become aware of this suppression mechanism, so that CreatingAndSharingWealth communities can be easier detected and developed.

  The title of the page - StayPoor - is ironic, points to the fact that many (most?) web services have small-print terms that basically severely limits the (legal) usefulness of the service, especially for commercial - or "egoistic" (...) purposes. This is can be seen as quite counter-productive, especially as it is often the case that even if it is possible to be allowed to use the service commercially, it leaves the impression that this is at best cumbersome and far more time consuming to "get", compared to how easy it is to get started as an individual (seconds, as opposed to write a letter to ask permission and wait for reply, make a "deal" which obviously is also meant to ensure the service gets its piece of your pie if you use it commercially).  Example: online bookmark sharing services.
