Dissonating_Conflictive Vs Resonanting_Collaborative Group Messaging Protocols.
Dear Groupers, (Group Members), This is an Orientation Message, Let’s collectively Form Formidable Forums For Excellence which are Fortress of Focus & Foritudes.
5 Do’s & 5 Donts for Happy Group Experiences & Collective Evolutions. Lessons & Solutions from 50+ Community Groups.
Generic Groups Policy 2021 for groupers welfare & excellence:
Secret Spice in Creating Groups for Excellence. Insights from 30+ Community welfare groups, with 200-300+ Sharing Members.
Groups_Motto: Places More for the Needed Sharings & Cargos, Less for the Unnecessary Sparring personally of members.
The 5(R&Ds) guide-points below can be practiced for pursuing “collective-excellence” as allied Resource_groups or Contributional-groups by group-managing the “Signal to Noise ratio”(Signals:Noises) through Community_Communications’-Protocols.
The 3 points for Contributive-Groups: (3C Model of Communication)
Crux of Creation:
[1. Content + 2. Context + 3. Connection= Contributions with more Clarity & less Confusion.]
Useful_Content + Group_Context + Progressive_Connection = Constructive_Contribution.
Group-Ideology/Vision: is Groups-Excellence to Achieve Focused-Interests, Purpose & Collective-Growth.
Group-Methodology/Mission: Practice the 5R&Ds of Grp-policy. Better Share Links(URLs instead of data consuming and mind confusing Videos, Audios or Images) that makes all groupers think better.
Group-Futureology/Transmission: Create a Collective Movement-Uprising for Better Societies by Bettering Communities.
#GRouP-Philosophy/Policy4Excellence. #BetterGroup-Conduct & Better Group_Outcomes. For Groupizens. Form follows Function which follows Formers. What are #DAO-Groups? Like Charwak Philosophy of Rationality this is the #Panchwak (5Voices) Groupsophy.
The outside Digital-Nonsense (Selfish-working) enables worst practices increases Digital-clutters & Digital-threats (Unnecessary, Low value, spam or Noise)
While Digital-Smartness (Groupish-helping) empowers group best-practices increases digital-treasures. #Selfish_Vs_Groupish. The un-contributors take undue-advantage of the Groupplace (Without Contributing) while the Groupish give advantage to the group by clearly contributing.
“Tamasoma Jyothir-gamaya” (Sanskrit maxim). From limiting Group-meaninglessness to Transcendence with Meaningfulness.
The Group-Rules(Home_Rules) Gives the Rights(Protecting_Walls) and Duties(Developing_Doors) of the Admins & Groupizens(Members). The R&D Points are in alignment with The Indian Constitutionalisms and The Indian Penal Codes.
Group_Privileges(5Rs) & Group Responsibilities(5Ds). Every Privilege comes with a responsibility if done well sustains it, if neglected leads to loss of privileges.
Keywords /KeyIdeas: #DigitalSafety in Groups. Group-Ethics, Group-Culture, Group-Rules, Group-Excellence, Community-Rules & Ideas4Excellence, Collectivity+Connectivity and being witty. #Group-Maxims. Contributive-Community-Culture. Grouplace-language.
This page aims to Empower Positive-Group-Culture & Achieve Collective-Excellence. By Promoting Ethical Principles in members & action items for admins during violations.
Practicing these group_protocols helps in going from Environments of Enmity/Extremity(higher Negativity/Dissonance levels) to Environments of Excellence(Higher Positivity/Progress levels).
Critical Question #1: How do ‘mWe‘(Me+We) create GRPs: Groups Resolving Problems & Group Resourcing Purposes through Shared-Value Systems for Yous(You+Us).
Short Ans#1: By Group Sharing Knowledge and Actions as aligned and nearing optimized Ideal as much as possible.
Reiterating the Humane values in Model-Group Messaging is to carry ‘forward’ these…
“6 Core Values for Excellence in Groups.”
1. Satyam (Truth of Facts),
2. Hitam (Benefits with Values),
3. Priyam (DueCare of Respect),
4. Mityam (MinimaL# & Short)
5. Lakshyam (Purposeful for Group Goals).
6. Netrutvam (Leads in Group to be Visionary, Missionary & Revolutionary).
These are the foundational principles of 40+ Groups in 4+ Communities unifying 3000+ groupers Members Globally.

Access to EoE-grps Here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1y69T6nB3DZ0T14Z6–ZHgCUW-sNmQcHpH07OMrTGUuM/edit?usp=drivesdk
There are 3 kinds of Cultured-societies Phliosophies_Ideologies & systemic Interactions:
1. Aligned_Contributive(+),
2. UnAligned_Neutral(0) &
3. ANTI-Aligned_Destructive(-)
The 5-R&D points on page here provide ways for the first kind by ‘3C a Contributive_Community_Culture’.
Listed Here is the ‘10-Guidelines for EoE-grps’ as Resource sharing-spaces of Values & Value, high Quality & collaborative Community of Purpose & Practices (CoPPs).
Dear Groupers, (Group-members/creators) this is the Manifesto of EoE-groups manifesting 3G(Generic Good Group)-Principles. Excellent groups have excellent people, and excellent people practice good generic group(3G) principles engaging in high standards of Interactions(SOPs) with Integrity, Purpose & Partnerships.
Imagine spectrum of groups on the right are focused & orderly effective groups (EoE groups by choice) on the other extreme are unfocused and ineffective disorderly groups (the EoC environment of chance). EoEs are group where members create, know & practice group-rules so that the groups rule themSELF effectively. Each msg is purposeful + addressed to all in the group.
Presenting like Astanga(8prt) Yoga(Union)Sutra(Manual), Here are The “Dus-Aanga Grupa-Sutra“(10prt Grps Manual) With Yama(Dont’s) Restrictive-Regulations & Niyama(Do’s) The Recommended-Rules.
We have been fortunate colLABorators, and Initiator-Investigators of multiple high-value & good quality groups/community forums in various formations (A2Z-Grps). The exposure & experimentative experience gained in them maybe encoded in the below R&D points. These are recommendations (to Members, Admins, grpRebels & grp’s-infiltraitors too) towards making our group experiences positive, of higher value/quality density, and for reaching ‘collective excellence’- This drive for excellence is the prerequisite for EoE-grps (Environment of Excellence) also termed as Interest-focus groups, Purpose-grps & ‘Resource-groups‘.
In a line, imagine the grp-spaces as creative arenas, where we can play our part that we choose & also help others play theirs well by setting up good group-rules as players, captains & referees/umpires as (TEAMS: Together Everyone Achieves More/Magic). When we, our instruments & our groupmates/team sync together, we create Music to ears & Magic for years. We Groupers Invite you to critically review these points which may help GRP’ify (GalvanizeResources2ProsperTogether) in our groups, communities & worlds.
Initial_Assertions: a Group is formed around an ‘Idea’, a Purpose and a shared vision(One Group, One Main Purpose). It may be reflected in its group name(e.g HumaRa-grp (HumanRightsAwareness group) or asserted in the grp-description (Health group, Education group, 4AwareIndia, 4ScientificIndia.. etc)
Group’s summarized simple Rule: {Facilitate Sharing more ‘Tonic-SIGNALs’ of Value(Gold), Reduce the ‘Toxic-NOISE’ of Wastage(Garbage)’ in the group-spaces}. This will make the Help/Hurt ratio of group, giving us positive-accrued actions. Goodly_Action(Su-karma) is one done by altruistic_Hands(Karna) with compassion(Karuna) as a duty (Kartavya) towards the Causes (Karta).
10 GuRuP Rules 4Group_Excellence {+++++ The Do’s +++++}
A. The 5-Required(R’s) ‘RIGHTS‘ : (Relevant, Reliable, Recent, Responsible & Resonant). (Increase Tonic-SIGNALs): CONTRIBUTIVE_Messaging.
(Integrative Helpful Actions)(+ve or ×ve)(Constructive-Cohesive Behaviour) (‘Us vs This’ or ‘#Us4This’ approach) (Niyama) +ADDValues. Positive Group-Ethics & Moral-Culture.
- A.1. Relevant : We Together Strive to Share highly Relevant information/support in-line with the core focus & purpose(s) of the group(refer group-context in Description or project page). If unaware of the group purpose, read about the group & rules in description or ask the Inviter/admins/peers in the group. When in Rome, be like a roman. CoRelate & Share-Content (can be Text, File, Image/meme or Video) with Context Statement & Connect with the grp purpose-context & focused-Interests. Share should be relevant to most people in group. If not(Solutn:1) to protect grp-Intent the admins may Request & Remove/suspend msg/msgenger until satisfactory explanation given with request to be added. Maxim1: Information with Intent/Context-line leads to Inflo-Integration. Formula1: Group_Contributions= 1.Content (What_msg(Past))+ 2.Context(Why_Relevance2group(Present)) + 3.Connect (Where_Link to Source/Future_Action). Consistent Good Contributions = Good Conduct.
- A.2. Reliable : Make sure information shared in the group is true+authentic from Credible, Verifiable & Reliable-sources. Do a google/background check before you share in the group. ‘Share what you think with url links’ like for eg (ref: https//mysource.com). With references and citations we increase trustability of group-value. Prioritize info based on Hierarchy of Sources.
- A.3. Recent/Reachable: Prioritize latest and new information in sharing, as old and expired messages without timestamps may be of no use & may repeat information, useless to anyone in the group. Check for Valid Date Stamp, time-venue, contact-info & other criteria before sharing. Make sure message is reachable to all in group I.e Vernacular Language + English Translations = Universal Egalitarian Access.
- A.4. Responsible : When ‘I & me-thinking replaces ‘We’-thinking, then U become Us & more U’sful. When a critical mass in Group ‘take up Responsiblity’ for the group’s prime-purpose, process & success; then the information shared & Quality of Interactions will be more valuable and helpful to serve the group purpose & groupmates. At least do a preliminary self-review if it’s new information that you find. If false, fake, or misleading information is shared in the group address the issue responsibly & promptly. Settle Individually with msg-sharer first, if not we may address issue along with admins & groupmates. We AIM to prioritize Quality first, quantity of msg/msgners is next. If Some member is mis-matched with group purpose they can be Responsibly guided/moved to other Relevant Groups.
- A.5. Resonant: Share being Aware/Listening to the Like Minds & Like Hearts in group, invite similar people to join, and like music, groups are ongoing symphonies(Give-Take,Listen&Say) make sure your messaging and participation resonates with collective ethos. Observe group actions, sync and add value to the group purpose. Group-Resonance creates the beauty of flocks of birds in sky or fish schools in the ocean. “Do’sage Does good. (We all-together coherently create the grp-culture of informative & supportive Environments of Excellence(EoE).
{×-×-× The Dont’s ×-×-×}
B. The 5-Dragging DoN’ts (5-Ds) ‘Duties not to’ :(Disturbance, Deviance, Delusion, Disrespect & Dissonance). DESTRUCTIVE Messaging.
(Groupers Aim to Reduce the Toxic- NOISE): (Disintegrative Hurtful/Harmful Actions)(-ve or ÷ve)(Destructive-Divisive Behaviour) (‘Us vs Them’ or ‘Me vs You’ Approach)(Yama) -REDUCELoss. Low level of Ethics & amoral-Culture.
- B.1 DisturbaNce: Sharing Spam, memes visual or Textual Forward-msgs without context, irrelevant to group purpose, Targeting-Abusing unsolicited Slandering a member or group-identity or any-section of public, Graphic images (gory, offensive), Controversial-Provoking Instigatory/Inflammatory Msgs(Violence, Biased, Racist, Gendered, Political, Subjudice(in Court.. etc), click bait url-links, Latenight Group Msging(23-06:00 hours)Local Sleeptime of majority in IST) msging-duels(Primarily duo msgsing each other in group) & mobbing an idea or entity. This is offensive. (Solution1: Reason with the members to delete msgs from the group & not repeat behaviour, we may suspend from the group until justified2group or temporarily change group settings) (Maxim2: Content – grpContext =Confusion)
- B.2 DeviaNce: Major Deviations from group purpose and focus, Abusive language or emojis. Objectionable, sexual, political, cultic or scam messages, Controversial hurtful content, Trolling, Trojan Horse & Oppressive or deviant undemocratic behaviours. Excessive msgs of Wishing Personal Birthdays, group can celeberate secular national non-religious fests common to ALL-CITIZENS like Independence Day, Republic Day, UN Human Rights day..etc Avoid Sectarian Religious Festivals Wishes or forwards in group, One may wish personally if wanting to wish. For difference between religious and secular festivals.(Solve1)
- B.3. DelusioNs: People are fallible human beings, at stressful times can have altered states of mind(Groups-too) make sure we identify actions out of our emotional & mental states of mind/personalities (altered by, Hyper-Anger, Agression, Prejudice-Biases, Lies, Logical-fallacies, Emotional-Manipulation, Propaganda, Anger-Hate, Sleep deprived, mood swings, verbal violence-abuse, depression, medical conditions.. etc) dont engage and dont let others indulge in such modes/moods in group. Sol1 (Sol3: Know the spirit of a message & keep messaging within limits of sanity for group. Show Compassion before passion, We together create Ecosystems of Empathy(EoE).
- B.4. DisrespectiNg: Let’s prefer not to shoot the messenger or get personal (You, YourX, @someone instead of @Something Individual-Pointing/ accusative language) in the group, (cyberbullying-mobbing) directly abuse, or offend a group member or related authorities/entities (character assasination) Name-calling’ eg: You or they are a Nazi, Racist, sexist, gender-ist, etc, instead focus on the message not messengers (use Impersonal+Descriptive language, ‘This Msg & statement aids Nazism, Genderism, Clanism.. etc, This Shared Content is…toxic, malicious etc). (Sol2: Show Respect to all as self. Encourage Diversity & inclusion of (Ideas, Religions, Regions, Languages, genders.. etc) by having prime neutrality (non-partiality) in group. Golden Rule of Treat others as Equals to own-self (Ethical). Address the irresponsible toxic pattern/behaviour in group with decency) Encourage ‘Devil’s-advocates’ but don’t encourage devils in form of trolling, personal attacks or ad-hominems. In group-communications Avoid Personalization & adopt principilization. Use Impersonal-Formal Communication instead of You/yours replace We or ones. https://www.thoughtco.com/name-calling-fallacy-1691413
- B.5 DissoNant: A symphony is based on synchronicity, the group-decorum can be violated just like an untuned instrument, lets not create disharmony & get Noisy in the group causing group dissonance. People request silence or exit group is a signal. (Sol4: when the msg and senders are given feedback to self-correct & attune to group frequency/focus. Like in the beauty of moving flocks of birds or fish schools also keep an eye out for Predatory Birds & Sharks. Observe and expose any abuse of group space to help bring back to grp-coherence and rhythmic-resonance)
I believe these 5(R&D) points can be used in the right group-spirit of understanding 1.Roles, 2.Rules, 3.Rights 4.Responsibilities & 5.Resources we have as group-creators & practice building relationships & +ve group-spaces, to address individual actions/behaviour for excelling as a group/community/Idea-Entity.
10 R&D points in 1 sentence “In Groups Create/Share New-Sense (Be SELFS-ish) and Avoid any Nuisance (being self-ish)” (where ‘SELFS’=Larger Selves/CollectiveGroup & ‘self’ is individual ego or factional-thinking)
Unity is strength, and A ‘compassionate commUNITY’ is empowerment of ethics(EoE).
Vote Choice & Note Voices.
Healthy Collaborations bring wealthy Co-generations.
Regards,
GRP (Giving-Reasons, Pursuing-excellence)
I acknowledge the interactions in I2D & Saints group, also the initial suggestions from Kiran Kulkarni to think in these directions. And G&B group(Rajesh&Jenny) to help initiate & motivate in the writing process.
If there are any errors/scope for improvement in above points do bring it to notice of author in the below comments section. We may add, keep or suspend members from group based on their practice & compliance with above 3G group guidelines. Also any additional guidelines can be used as per customization.
The Feedbacks are always welcome.
Goem on ‘GrpSpaces’.
A group can be a healing soup,
A warm broth(er) for a weakened soul,
Uniting purpose & people in a single loop,
Where Unity takes Stand and vanity cries foul,
A group is a creative space for people,
To connect, learn, share and excel,
A group is an expressive space for principles,
To manifest, reincarnate and be novel,
Sharing of members keeps the group’s quality/value high,
Caring community of friends that no money can buy,
-G.R Group Prasadh
Be the change you want to see in this world- MKG
Become the Group you want to see in this world- GRP
Powerful people come from powerful places- KGF
Purposeful people create purposeful places- GRP
I am in pursuit of (Group-Happiness) co-creating impactful group spaces(Ideantities- GRP Coined word) you(G-reader)can join us in this mission at these arenas listed:
Recently in December we created a *Group making record* by creating 7 Resource Groups in 24hours (BACE-Bengaluru Architects & Civil Engineers, MHT-MensHeartsTalk, BARI-grp, Bengaluru Kannadabhimani Group, DART🎯-grp Hyderabad & Bangalore TamFriends, )
Update 9/1/2021: To choose the best app for groups a quick poll/survey.
https://www.strawpoll.me/42415141/
With my experience with grps; We may observe types of people in context of grouping behaviour- groupers are 5 overall we can see listed below. Our coming together is by unknown chance but staying together is by our own decision-taken of choices & freedom-given of options. Identify the 5groupers by the group behaviours.
1.Group avoiders- avoidance of any grouping(5%)-wont join groups
2. quick quitters- being in group wait for opportunities to quit/exit groups(5%)
3. Long-stayers- are silent spectators in grp (80%).
4.Carer–Sharers(5%) sharing most group messages following the 5+veRs &
5. Disturbing-disrupters(5%) members practicing more 5-veDs.
In short 5 mindsets we have these choices 1.Keep away, 2.Walk away, 3. Stay Near, 4. Being Dear, 5. Bring Fear.
Lets create the group we want to see for the world.
One Idea is groups to be a place of DAO. Decentralized Autonomous Organizational space. https://www.investopedia.com/tech/what-dao/
