Based on a conversation with Yug, I've decided to draft a community compact statement that sets out our standards. Any and all feedback welcome.
Lingua Libre is dedicated to providing free, high-quality recording of words and phrases in all languages. To achieve this, we ask you to abide by the following community standards
- All people and accents are welcome. However, do not assume an accent that you do not normally use.
- Please, fill out your profile information accurately. This enables the correct usage of your pronunciations.
- Do not upload pronunciations that you did not create or are posted with a restrictive license elsewhere.
- Please, record in a quiet room with no background noise audible when listening with headphones.
- Do not include excessive silence before or after your pronunciations.
- Record your pronunciations in a relaxed, neutral tone. If you wish to pronounce them fast, slow, or emphatically, please tag your pronunciations appropriately.
- Discrimination, cyberbullying, harassment, stalking, or any other form of intimidation on the base of age, accent, class, disability, ethnic identity, gender identity, geographical location, marital status, native language, political beliefs, race, religious identity, religious beliefs, sex, sexual orientation, or any other category will not be tolerated. Any such behavior will result in a permanent ban.
- Lingua Libre reserves the right to delete any pronunciations that do not follow these guidelines.
