SVN Forum Rules and Guidelines

Thank you for being part of the SVN online community. To ensure the best possible experience for all of our members, we have established some basic guidelines for participation in the forums.

We understand that the world and our members are becoming more social and connecting online. As such we encourage all to participate in our Member Forums. This is great tool to get the advice of your peers, learn from their experience, and participate in an ongoing conversation. By participating on the SVN Member Forum, you agree that you have read and will follow these rules and guidelines.

Please take a moment to acquaint yourself with these important guidelines. If you have questions about these guidelines or the tools themselves, contact the SVN team team at info@svnworldwide.org or (904) 419-7861.

In order to preserve a climate that encourages both civil and fruitful dialogue, SVN reserves the right to discipline Member Forum users, delete posts or terminate accounts for members who violate these rules.

The Rules

  • Be Nice! Don’t attack others. The discussions on the Member Forum are meant to stimulate conversation not to create contention. Let others have their say, just as you may.
  • Don't post commercial messages. Contact people directly with product and service information if you believe it would help them.
  • Member Forum messages should not contain promotional material, special offers, job offers, product announcements, or solicitation for services. SVN reserves the right to remove such messages and potentially ban sources of those solicitations.   
  • Do Not discuss pricing, salaries or other topics around market share or competition as SVN is subject to antitrust laws.
  • All defamatory, abusive, profane, threatening, offensive, or illegal materials are strictly prohibited and may be removed.
  • Send your message only to the most appropriate platforms.
  • Please note carefully all items listed in the disclaimer and legal rules below, particularly regarding the copyright ownership of information posted to the Member Forums
