AKISConnect Forum – Rules of Conduct

Welcome to the AKISConnect Forum, a collaborative online space dedicated to agricultural innovation across Europe. This forum brings together a diverse community of farmers, researchers, advisors, and other agricultural actors involved in innovative practices. To ensure that this space remains respectful, inclusive, and productive, we kindly ask all users to adhere to the following rules of conduct.

All participants are expected to engage with others respectfully and courteously at all times. Constructive dialogue is encouraged, and while differences of opinion are natural, personal attacks, discriminatory remarks, or aggressive language are not acceptable under any circumstances. The forum aims to foster a welcoming environment where everyone feels safe to share their views and experiences.

To maintain the quality and focus of discussions, users should strive to keep their contributions relevant to the topic at hand. Off-topic comments, excessive self-promotion, or unrelated advertising are discouraged. Users are invited to explore existing rooms and discussions before starting new threads, and to ensure that their posts align with the forum’s purpose of supporting innovation and knowledge sharing in sustainable agriculture.

Meaningful and constructive contributions are highly valued. Users are encouraged to ask thoughtful questions, offer informed responses, and share their experiences in ways that can benefit the broader community. When possible, providing context, references, or examples helps enrich discussions and support shared learning.

Protecting privacy and respecting intellectual property rights are fundamental principles of participation. Users must refrain from sharing personal or confidential information about themselves or others. Content posted on the forum should be original or shared with proper permission and credit. Any materials drawn from external sources must be clearly attributed.

The AKISConnect team is committed to maintaining a safe and respectful space for all. Content that is harmful, offensive, or in violation of applicable laws will be removed. Users are encouraged to report any behavior or content that undermines the integrity of the forum. Moderators may issue warnings, remove posts, or suspend accounts if these rules are repeatedly violated.

Moderators play an essential role in ensuring the smooth functioning of the forum. They are responsible for guiding discussions, addressing concerns, and intervening when necessary to uphold the forum’s values. All users are expected to respect moderators’ guidance and decisions. In the event of a disagreement or concern regarding moderation, users are welcome to raise the issue respectfully through the designated contact points.

By participating in the AKISConnect, users agree to these rules and commit to contributing in a manner that supports an inclusive, knowledge-rich, and collaborative environment. Should any questions or issues arise, participants may contact the moderation team directly.
