General Rules of Conduct

To ensure a safe and productive virtual event, you agree to observe these interaction rules:

Be respectful. Respect your fellow users by keeping your tone positive and your comments constructive. Respect people's time and attention by providing complete information about your question or suggestions.

Be relevant. Make sure your contributions are relevant to this virtual event and to the specific category or board where you post. If you have a new question, start a new thread rather than interrupting a conversation.

Obey the law and keep your word. Don't post anything that would violate any law, or any contractual agreement (copyright, trade secret, or otherwise), or nondisclosure agreement that you have signed.

Protect privacy - yours and others'. Don't share anything about yourself that you would not want to see on a road-side billboard. Don't post contact or other personal information - your own or anyone else's - or any content that you receive in one-to-one communications without the author's consent.

Evaluate Content - Remember that the content may be generated by third party suppliers and your peers. Apply the same good judgment in evaluating information and advice you may find on this Site as you would apply to evaluating information anywhere on the Internet.

Think before you Post. You may not use, or allow others to use, your registration membership to communicate, post or transmit:

• Content that is abusive, obscene, vulgar, defamatory, threatening, bigoted, hateful, racially offensive, vulgar, obscene, hateful, fraudulent, or which discloses private or personal matters concerning any person.
• "Rants", "slams", legal threats, political statements, religious statements, or commentary.
• Content that solicits, discusses, or promotes the use of an illegal substance or illegal activities.
• Advertising, promotional materials, or other forms of solicitation including chain letters, pyramid schemes, class action suits, or charitable appeals.
• Personal e-mail addresses, phone numbers, addresses, private information such as social security numbers, or other contact information that is not their own, including, but not limited to HP employee's email addresses.

Do no Harm: You may not interfere in any way with the operation of the Site or with a fellow user's chat box, including, but not limited to, mail or "post" bombing, news bombing, other flooding techniques, deliberate attempts to overload a system and broadcast attacks, or attempts to avoid messaging blocking.
