Our Code of Conduct

POLEMAD is for everyone who poles or has a business in the pole industry. Whatever your gender, sexual orientation, body, age, race, ability, style or level, you belong here. I want everyone to feel safe and welcome here, so there’s no room for hate.

This code covers everything you write or share on POLEMAD website and community group. That includes your POLEMAD links, studio and instructor pages, class and event details and messages to us or on our social accounts.

Look after each other

  • Be kind. Everyone’s journey is their own.
  • Give feedback only when someone asks for it.
  • Use the names and pronouns people share with you.
  • If someone asks you to stop messaging them, please stop.
  • Only post photos and videos of people who consented to them, and take them down if they ask.

Pole was born in strip clubs, so putting down strippers, sex workers or stripper-style pole has no place here.

We all have things to learn, and not knowing better isn’t the same as being hateful. If someone points out a mistake, say sorry, fix it, and move on. We’re all growing together. Repeated offenders or those who openly promote hate or discrimination can’t be on POLEMAD and will be banned.

If something doesn’t feel right, tell us

Click on any page, or email me at lili@polemad.com. I read every report myself, and your name always stays private.

If you think I got a decision wrong, just email me and I’ll take another look.

Thank you for helping make POLEMAD a kind place to be.
