Description
ChicagoPolyFriends is a discussion group (i.e., not for personals ads or uninvited sollicitations) which began as a group of friends who know one another in person and have ties to the Chicago area polyamory community. It is open to anyone who is tolerant of polyamory and who lives in, has roots in, or occasionally visits the Chicago metropolitan area.
Characteristics of ChiPolyF compared to PolyChi:
ChiPolyF is intended primarily as a poly support group, hence its focus on fostering friendly relations among its members;
the workings of ChiPolyF are intended to be more open, hence a freely available member list and known listowner and moderators;
ChiPolyF is intended to have more than one moderator, promoting fair and impartial traffic control;
as a basic principle of its inception, ChiPolyF intends to be a safe space for poly, mono, bi, gay/lesbian, hetero, and transgendered people regardless of politics, socio-economic class, physical handicap, or mental disability (though good behavior is expected of all members);
while protecting the members from spam and excessive traffic, the current listowner intends to follow the interests of the list members in formulating policy for the group.
