Engagement Guidelines and Terms of Use

Welcome to the Obsolescence Community!

The Obsolescence Community is a space for Obsolescence Specialists to connect, get help and learn from each other. Here you can share your thoughts via Posts, ask your questions, share your experience when it comes to obsolescence and supply chain topics and learn about what challenges other specialists like you are facing.

 

We, AMSYS GmbH, designed these guidelines to help you understand how to engage with our community and what to expect from it. Please note your participation here is subject to these guidelines and Terms of Use outlined.

Engagement Guidelines

Be friendly and respectful.

  • We’re a diverse, international community with different backgrounds, identities, and beliefs. Please treat each other with respect and kindness. We won’t tolerate threats, harassment, lewdness, hate speech, or other displays of bigotry.
  • Respect the rights of others! You are responsible for the content you post in this community. Nothing you post should infringe the rights of others or violate applicable laws.

Help us keep this community helpful.

 

  • Search first! The answer to your question or the feedback you’re looking to share with us may already have been posted in the community. Before creating a new topic, take a few minutes to search for existing posts you can potentially comment on or upvote.
  • Stay on topic! Conversations will take a naturally winding course, but please do not take a thread in a completely new direction.
  • Appreciate helpful answers! If someone has answered your questions or helped you resolve an issue, give positive feedback to their response. This is an excellent way to give them credit for their help and help other users identify the most useful answers.
  • No spam, please! Spam includes promotional materials, excessive self-promotion, advertisement of direct competitors’ products, and recurring off-topic comments. If you see a post or comment that looks like spam, please report it to info@am-sys.com. Our moderators will assess the situation and take the necessary action.
  • Be transparent! Let’s be transparent and honest with our intentions, identity, and behavior in the community. Never intentionally attempt to mislead other members. Our community is a collective of peers working together, and collaboration is so much richer when everyone comes to it with integrity and clarity.
  • Support the community! Since we are an international community, the official language is English. Furthermore, to facilitate an easier exchange of ideas and being in a community which can be considered a family for obsolescence topics, we always address ourselves with the first name.
  • Respect competition legislation! Comply with all relevant international competition and anti-trust law. Refrain from engaging in conversations related to trade, price-fixing and output restrictions, allocations of projects, customers, or territories.
