Community Code of Conduct

All members are expected to engage in a professional, respectful, and constructive manner. The Advantage Community is a space for growth, not debate, self-promotion, or conflict. Treat every member as a peer worthy of your best professional conduct.

The following behaviors are strictly prohibited:

• Harassment: Any conduct that intimidates, demeans, threatens, or creates a hostile environment for another member, including but not limited to unwanted contact, offensive language, or personal attacks.
• Abuse: Verbal, written, or behavioral abuse directed at any member, staff, or affiliated individual.
• Spam: Unsolicited promotional content, repetitive posts, or any communication designed to advertise products or services outside of approved community activities.
• Sharing of member credentials: Sharing your login credentials with any other person, or using another member's credentials to access the portal.
• Misrepresentation: Presenting false information about yourself, your organization, your qualifications, or your affiliation with The Advantage Community.
• Unauthorized solicitation: Soliciting other members for business, sales, partnerships, or any commercial purpose outside of activities explicitly approved by The Advantage Community.
• Publishing confidential member information: Sharing, disclosing, or distributing any personal or professional information about another member without their explicit consent.
• Scraping member data: Using automated tools, scripts, or manual methods to collect, extract, or compile member information from the portal or community spaces.
• Unauthorized collection of member information: Collecting, storing, or using member contact information, professional details, or any other data obtained through community participation for any purpose other than direct, consensual communication within the community.

All content shared in community spaces, including discussion posts, event contributions, and program materials, must respect the intellectual property rights of The Advantage Community LLC and other members. Do not reproduce, distribute, or repurpose proprietary content. See the Intellectual Property and Content Usage Policy for full details.

If you witness or experience a violation of this Code of Conduct, please report it to [email protected]. All reports will be reviewed and handled with discretion.

The Advantage Community administrators have full authority to:

• Remove any content that violates this Code of Conduct
• Suspend community posting privileges
• Suspend portal access
• Revoke portal access

Enforcement decisions are made at the sole discretion of The Advantage Community administration. Members who believe an enforcement action was taken in error may appeal by contacting [email protected].
