AACE Connect Community Etiquette and Privacy Guidelines
Thank you for being part of the communities in AACE Connect. To ensure the best possible experience for all members, we have established some basic guidelines for participation. By using this community, you agree that you have read and will follow these guidelines. If you violate any of the terms below, you will receive a warning. If you receive two warnings and violate the terms again, you will be removed from the community for 30 days. AACE reserves the right to permanently remove anyone from a community for a severe violation (e.g., abusive or hateful speech). The AACE Code of Conduct is also in effect within this community.
Administrative requests (e.g. “remove me from the list”) should be sent to AACE Headquarters, not the community, via contactaace@aaceonline.com.
Respect yourself and others.
- Focus on the content of posts, not on the people making them.
- Be especially understanding of and helpful to those who are new to AACE and/or to cancer education.
- Keep all content professional and follow the AACE Code of Ethics when participating in a community.
- Respect proprietary information, copyright, and intellectual property.
- Use caution when discussing products or services.
Be clear and relevant.
- Keep all content relevant to cancer education and to the particular community in which you are posting.
- Use a concise subject line that is appropriate to the topic of your post and to the community.
- Use “Reply Privately” for responses that don’t apply to the whole community.
- State how and when community members are allowed to use documents and other shared content.
- If you have a deadline for collecting input or feedback on content, please state the date and/or time.
- Commercial advertisements are prohibited on AACE Connect, but sharing job postings and information about events relevant to cancer education is allowed.
All AACE policies apply to communities on AACE Connect.
