For monitoring, we do https://collectiveagency.co/community-guidelines/ which I sometimes describe as "self-tracking and honor system" and it works great as the core of the terms of service. Holding people accountable is definitely necessary once in a rare while, and a great culture is helpful (and accountability is necessary to get to a great culture). We also do this self-tracking and honor system with time in conference rooms, and members on the up-to-6-days-a-month membership option, and other things, and the community guidelines apply to everything.
Members here pay for "Printing at-cost if more than $8 per person per month (black-and-white text is 8 cents per page, full-color pages of photos are $3 per page)." We have a cash jar next to the coffee and a "misc payment$" webpage. If a lot more members printed a lot more often, we'd probably find a way to cover costs and include it in a flat fee for membership. We also have https://collectiveagency.co/governance-guidelines/ which are the governance version of the community guidelines. Recently I've started reading about tort law, which seems to be the kind of generative law/guidelines that the community guidelines are? whereas the more specific/prescriptive terms of service are like most common law/rules. If anyone's interested/knowledgeable in that, I'd love to chat about it or read book or article recommendations. -- Alex Linsker • Business Owner Collective Agency <https://collectiveagency.co/> • Coworking Spaces with Cozy Community (503) 915-4769 office • (503) 369-9174 mobile 3050 SE Division, Suite 245 • Portland Oregon 97202 511 SW 10th Ave, Suite 1108 • Portland Oregon 97205 On Fri, Aug 10, 2018 at 10:38 AM, <erinndonnell...@gmail.com> wrote: > May I please ask for suggestions how your space monitors printing > allocations or what software you use as a printing client?
