Thank you for being part of our Facebook group. To ensure the best possible experience for all group members, we have established some basic rules for participation.
By joining the group, you agree that you have read and will follow the rules and guidelines set for the online communities. You also agree to abide by all relevant policies and procedures of the Network, including the Network’s antitrust compliance policy. You further agree to reserve posting comments for topics best suited to the group. This is a great medium with which to solicit the advice of your peers, benefit from their experience, and participate in an ongoing conversation.
Please take a moment to acquaint yourself with these important rules. In order to preserve a climate that encourages both civil and fruitful dialogue, the Network reserves the right to suspend or terminate membership for individuals who violate these rules.
The Rules
- Do not challenge or attack others. Posting comments is meant to stimulate conversation, not to create contention. Let others have their say, just as you may.
- Do not post commercial comments. Contact people directly with product and service information if you believe it would help them. Use #nopromo if there might be confusion regarding the information you are sharing.
- Do not discuss prices, salaries, personal benefits, fees, specific business transactions, or individual companies, and in particular do not defame, disparage, or criticize any person or company.
- There must be no agreements on prices, salaries, benefits, fees, allocation of markets, or boycotting of any person or company.
- Use caution when discussing products or services. Posted comments are available for all to see, and comments are subject to libel, slander, and antitrust laws.
- All defamatory, abusive, profane, threatening, offensive, or illegal comments are strictly prohibited. Do not post comments that you would not want the world to see or that you would not want anyone to know came from you.
- Please note carefully all items listed in the disclaimer and legal rules below, particularly regarding the copyright ownership of online postings.
- Remember that Network and other group participants have the right to reproduce comments that are posted online.
- Post your comments only to the most appropriate online group(s).
- Do not disclose proprietary, confidential, or legally privileged information.

Comments that encourage or facilitate an agreement about the following subjects are inappropriate: prices, discounts, or terms or conditions of sale; salaries; benefits; profits, profit margins, or cost data; market shares, sales territories, or markets; allocation of customers or territories; or selection, rejection, or termination of customers or suppliers.
