Forum Code of Conduct is derived from three interlinked fundamental principles, viz. Message board membership, Exemplary personal conduct and Message board moderation.
Forum Membership:
Forum is a professionally managed platform and the core value underlying our corporate philosophy is "Knowledge Sharing". We believe this platform has been handed to us by the various stakeholders in "trust" and we as professionals are the "trustees" of these stakeholders. It is therefore our responsibility to ensure that the platform is managed in a manner that protects and furthers the interests of our stakeholders. We recognize entire Forum community has to be useful and helpful in terms of knowledge sharing in real-time and therefore it is part of our responsibility to practice good Forum Membership.
It is also our belief that in order to serve the interests of our stakeholders in perpetuity, we must build Forum into an upgraded platform whose dynamic real time knowledge sharing is its core value.
Personal Conduct
All boarders, followers, new thread/topic initiators have the obligation to conduct themselves in an honest and ethical manner and act in the best interest of the Forum at all times. They are expected to demonstrate exemplary personal conduct and should not involve in any of the following activities :
- Personal attacks - name calling, insulting, Insensitive references to any race, sex, religion, caste or linguistic community etc - on other boarders.
