Please take a moment to acquaint yourself with these important guidelines. In order to preserve an environment that encourages both civil and fruitful dialogue, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate membership in this community for anyone who violate these rules.
The Rules
- Access to the Coordinators Community is limited to Coordinators and their staff. This forum is a benefit of Coordinating Program membership and is used to share internal information. Therefore, external parties should not be given access.
- The All Member Community is a benefit of membership. It is open to all community level members, Allied Members, and Coordinating Programs.
- Respect others. Focus on the content of posts and not on the people making them. Please extend the benefit of the doubt to newer guests and members; there’s no such thing as a stupid question.
- Respect the purpose of the community. Use the community to share successes, challenges, questions, and goals. The community is not intended to be…
- a promotional platform for products or services. If you’ve found a product or service helpful, please share your experience with the group in a respectful way. If you are a product or service provider, focus on sharing your expertise, not self-promotion. Please refrain from advertising or selling your services in our community.
- a place to publicly air complaints or settle disputes between members or MSA. Constructive feedback and concerns should be communicated directly and resolved between the affected parties.
- Use caution when discussing products. Information posted on the discussion groups and in the libraries is available for all to see, and comments are subject to libel, slander, and antitrust laws.
- All defamatory, abusive, profane, threatening, offensive, or illegal materials are strictly prohibited. Do not post anything that you would not want the world to see or that you would not want anyone to know came from you.
