Locate International's Code of Conduct ensures a respectful and constructive environment within our forum. By adhering to guidelines such as tagging discussions, respecting privacy, and engaging in respectful communication, members contribute positively to our mission of supporting families and resolving cases. Together, we foster a community where diversity is embraced, and collaboration thrives.
Here are the guidelines:
Use Tags: Every discussion must be associated with a tag. Choose a relevant tag before posting to ensure organisation and easy navigation.
Case Discussions: When sharing thoughts or ideas about a specific case, ensure it is assigned to the corresponding case tag where possible. This helps our investigators efficiently access and review comments related to ongoing investigations.
Protect Privacy: Avoid sharing sensitive information or personally identifiable details that could compromise privacy or ongoing investigations.
Respectful Communication: Maintain a respectful and appropriate tone in all interactions. Avoid swearing, hate speech, or any form of inappropriate language or behavior.
Stay On Topic: Keep discussions focused on relevant topics related to missing persons, unidentified people, our work as a charity, or podcast-related content. Off-topic discussions may be removed to maintain forum clarity.
Be Constructive: Provide constructive feedback and engage in meaningful discussions that contribute positively to the community's goals and objectives.
Respect Diversity: Embrace diversity of opinions and perspectives. Avoid engaging in arguments or personal attacks, and instead foster a supportive and inclusive environment for all members.
Report Violations: If you encounter any content that violates these guidelines or raises concerns, please report it to the moderators for appropriate action.
Follow Forum Rules: Adhere to all forum rules and guidelines outlined by Locate International and the hosting platform (Flarum). Failure to comply may result in moderation actions, including post removal or account suspension.
Community Collaboration: Remember, we are all here to work together towards a common goal of supporting families and resolving cases. Your participation and cooperation are essential in creating a safe and productive community environment.
