 ===Excellence===
-'''Be excellent to each other''' is the guiding principle of Syn2cat. Wikipedia uses [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Don't_be_a_dick a somewhat similar rule], which they call "''the fundamental rule of all social spaces. Every other policy for getting along is a special case of it.''" Unlike Wikipedia, Noisebridge takes a positive approach, and tries to avoid the practice of officially enumerating the myriad potential special cases; "be excellent" is enough.

 ===Consensus===
-We make official Noisebridge decisions by consensus, which means the willing consent of all of our members. Decisions are made at our monthly [[Bootstrap Meeting]], and items proposed for consensus are announced in advance to give everyone time to hear about them.

 ===Do-ocracy===
-Doing excellent stuff at Noisebridge does not require permission or an official consensus decision. Decisions are taken by those who ''do things'', and if you want something to get done, you ''just do it''. If you're uncertain about the excellence of something you want to do, you should ask someone else what they think, or discuss the topic at our monthly [[Bootstrap Meeting]]

 People often make suggestions like "We should do this and that." If you're suggesting an idea, you're automatically volunteering to do it.
