The Access Technology Trainers Forum is a professional space for access technology trainers and related professionals. These rules exist to protect the quality of discussion, respect members’ time, and support a productive learning environment.
Professional Conduct
Members are expected to engage respectfully and professionally. Strong opinions, critique, and disagreement are welcome. Personal attacks, harassment, or targeting individuals are not.
Ideas are fair game. People are not.
Identity and Representation
Members participate using their real identity. This forum is built on professional accountability and trust.
Do not misrepresent your credentials, experience, or affiliations.
Posting and Participation
Post in the forum category that best fits your topic. Moderators may move posts to maintain organization.
Contribute thoughtfully. This is a discussion forum, not a social media feed. Posts should aim to add insight, ask meaningful questions, or share experience that benefits others.
Repetitive, low-effort, or off-topic posts may be removed.
Sharing Knowledge and Resources
Members may share original ideas, methods, and experiences.
When referencing another member’s work, ideas, or materials, give credit.
Do not post copyrighted materials you do not own or have permission to share.
Promotion and Solicitation
Promotional posts are allowed only in designated forums.
Unsolicited advertising, recruitment, or sales outside approved areas is not permitted.
Privacy and Confidentiality
Do not share private communications, client information, or identifiable student data.
Respect the confidentiality of discussions that occur within the forum.
Moderation
Moderation is intentionally light. Intervention occurs only when behavior crosses professional boundaries, becomes personal, or undermines the integrity of the community.
Posts may be edited, moved, or removed at moderator discretion.
Repeated or serious violations may result in suspension or removal without refund.
Responsibility
Members are responsible for their own posts, interactions, and use of forum resources.
Participation in the forum indicates agreement with these rules and the site’s Terms of Service.
