Community Forums Instructions and Ground Rules

Instructions

Terminology

  • Each forum or discussion room will have a broad area of focus.
  • Each topic within a forum is called a “thread” or a "post."
  • If you subscribe to a post, you will receive an email message whenever someone makes a comment on the post.
  • If you create a new post, you will automatically be subscribed to it, and will receive an email message whenever someone adds a comment.

  • These are private forums for anyone in the Ryan White community, broadly defined. Anyone may create an account and participate, but we reserve the right to disable the account of anyone in violation of the community rules.

Privacy and moderation

  • The discussion room is not moderated, which means that new posts will appear without staff review. 
  • The forum moderator and website staff reserve the right to edit or remove any posts for reasons including factual errors, commercial solicitation, partisan advocacy, or abusive behavior.
  • We will not send you email unless you opt to receive it, and we will not share your email address with anyone else. We will report in aggregate on the number of users, their locations, and type of work.
  • We don't allow anonymous posts
