Forums Guidelines

We would like you to have great conversation in this space, to help us do just that, here are five community values we've developed  that should underpin all your interactions and help guide your posts and participation:

Respect 

​

No disrespectful or derogatory remarks about any other member

Be respectful of other people's opinions and ideas. It's OK to have different views and disagree but present your case tactfully. This is a community and, respect for others is what will make forum posting really productive for you.

​

Safe

We count on all members to help keep our community and the  forums a safe place for people to share ,learn and view information. Your community experience begins the moment you embrace learning and adventures- This is only possible when you feel safe. Therefore, we require that you refrain from threatening or endangering anyone.

Empowering

We encourage our members to make decisions that support positive engagement, benefit the community and its wellbeing. Don't hold back in sharing your knowledge and any useful  information or ideas. When you give information, provide your sources.

Friendly

Welcome new members, show them how to use the forum.

New member , introduce yourself-We are glad to have you with us. Our discussions are geared with  kindness, warmth and  always assume the best intention.

Patience:

​

Give people a little time to respond to your requests. People are busy and usually, participate in forums in their free time. it may take a little time for people to notice and respond to your request.  If you have a question and it doesn't get answered right away, don't take it against other members. Please be patient.

It will also be helpful if you:

• Try to add value when you post. Post with purpose, to inspire or share.

• Stay on topic. Provide a clear topic title and put your post in the appropriate category when creating a new discussion thread.
