Thank you for being part of the MLA Community Forums. To ensure the best possible experience for all members, we have established some basic guidelines for participation.
By joining and using these forums, you agree that you have read and will follow these rules and guidelines. You also agree to reserve discussions and shared files and content to that best suited to the medium. This is a great medium with which to solicit the advice of your peers, benefit from their experience, and participate in an ongoing conversation. In order to preserve an environment that encourages both civil and constructive dialogue, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate participation in this community for anyone who violates these rules.
Please take a moment to review these important guidelines. Questions should be directed to [email protected].
The Rules
- Respect others. Focus on the content of posts and not on the people making them. Do not share personal information about other members or disparage their character. Please extend the benefit of the doubt to newer guests and members. Always follow the MLA Code of Conduct.
- Respect others’ opinions. Disagreement can contribute to a conversation, so keep an open mind and remember that others may not share your perspective on a situation.
- Respect the purpose of the forums. Use the forum to share successes, challenges, constructive feedback, questions, and goals instead of promoting specific products or services. If you’ve found a product or service helpful, please share your experience with the group in a respectful way. Use caution when discussing products. Information posted on the forums is available for all members to see, and comments are subject to libel, slander, and antitrust laws.
- 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.
- Respect intellectual property. Post content that you have personally created or have permission to use and have properly attributed to the content creator. When posting items in our collaborative environment, please indicate if the item is not available for reuse. It’s also advisable to contact the owner of any material if you would like to reuse it.
- Post your message only to the most appropriate forums and threads. This helps ensure all messages receive the best response by eliminating off-topic discussion.
