TASBO Community Guidelines and Privacy Policy
Welcome to the TASBO Connect Community! This space offers members an opportunity to ask questions, share insights and ideas, and receive feedback. To ensure a positive and productive environment for all, we ask that you follow these guidelines. By participating in this community, you agree to adhere to these rules
Enforcement
TASBO reserves the right to delete any post for any reason. TASBO also reserves the right to suspend or terminate access to users for violations of TASBO Connect community guidelines, TASBO member code of ethics, their employer policies, or applicable laws.
Community Guidelines
- Respectful Communication
Engage respectfully with other members. Focus on the content of discussions, not on individuals.
- Avoid Commercial Posts
Posts that promote products or services, solicitations, or lead collection are not permitted without express consent from TASBO. TASBO may restrict other forms of business development (such as commercial messages or job postings) if we see a pattern that seeks to circumvent the spirit of these guidelines.
- Be Mindful When Discussing Products, Services, Vendors, or Individuals
Ensure that comments do not violate libel, slander, or antitrust laws. Posts that may compromise procurement processes or encourage agreements regarding price, terms of sale, or vendor selection are strictly prohibited.
- Inappropriate Content is Prohibited
Avoid posting any material that is defamatory, abusive, profane, threatening, or otherwise illegal. Never post anything you wouldn't want publicly attributed to you.
- Respect Intellectual Property
Only post content you own or have permission to use. If you share material that is not your own, give proper credit to the original creator. Seek permission before sharing content posted in the community by another.
- Use the Appropriate Channels
Post your messages or documents in the correct discussion lists or libraries to ensure they are seen by the most appropriate audience.
- Keep Discussions Nonpartisan and Relevant
Discussions should be nonpartisan and focused on topics that matter to school business professionals. Avoid political discourse and stay on topic.
- Confidentiality and Privacy
Understand that posts in this community are public. Do not share any confidential, private, or legally sensitive information.
Discussion Etiquette
- Clear Subject Lines
Be concise and specific with your subject lines to help others respond effectively and make posts easier to find.
- Avoid "Me Too" or "Thanks" Replies
Send acknowledgments or "me too" responses directly to the sender, not to the entire.
- Manage Your Notifications
For administrative messages, such as removing yourself from a list, update your settings rather than posting to the group.
