Community Etiquette Guidelines

Forum Etiquette Guidelines

At Synthiam, we believe in fostering a supportive, engaging, and inclusive community. To ensure everyone has a positive experience, we kindly ask all members to follow these etiquette guidelines:

1. Be Kind and Respectful: Treat all community members with respect. Kindness goes a long way in maintaining a positive environment.
2. Avoid Hijacking Threads: To keep discussions on topic, please do not divert a thread by changing the subject or introducing unrelated questions. If you have a new question, start a new thread.
3. Stay On Topic: Ensure your contributions are relevant to the thread's original topic. This helps in maintaining the thread's focus and usefulness.
4. No Tolerance for Inappropriate Behavior: We do not accept arguments, racism, sexism, swearing, violence, self-harm, bullying, mocking, or any form of harassment.
5. Use Clear and Constructive Language: When posting, please use clear and constructive language. This helps in building a constructive dialogue.

Violating these guidelines can lead to consequences, including the possibility of having your forum access revoked if it becomes a habit. Our aim is to maintain a welcoming and productive environment for all members. Let's work together to keep our community a place where everyone feels comfortable sharing and learning.

Post Responsibly: Avoid Double Posting and Maintain Structure

The forum is a valuable resource for everyone, helping members find solutions, share ideas, and collaborate effectively. To keep it useful and organized:

• Avoid Double Posting: If you've already posted a question or topic, be patient and wait for responses instead of creating duplicate posts. This keeps the forum clean and prevents spam.
• Keep Posts Structured and Meaningful: Thoughtfully organize your questions and responses. Provide enough details to make your post clear and useful for others who may have the same issue in the future.
• Quality Over Quantity: A well-written, structured post is far more valuable than multiple vague or redundant ones. If you post garbage, you’ll get garbage in return—help the community help you by putting effort into your contributions.

Remember, the forum exists to benefit everyone, including you. By maintaining order and structure, you're not just helping yourself but also ensuring others can find relevant answers without unnecessary clutter.

Reporting Issues

If you encounter any posts or behavior that violates our guidelines, please report them to the moderation team immediately. Your reports are crucial in keeping our community safe and respectful.
