Member Conduct and Social Interactions
Our website includes a social component where members can post content, comment on existing content, and communicate directly with each other. While we encourage open and respectful dialogue, we ask all members to adhere to the following guidelines:
- If discussing specific health care products or services, use generic names to the extent possible. If it is necessary to use trade names, use trade names from several companies when available, and not just the trade names from any single company.
- If any discussion involving the exploration of new and evolving topics occurs, these areas will be clearly identified as such within the discussion. No content will advocate or promote practices that are not, or not yet, adequately based on current science, evidence, and clinical reasoning.
- Refrain from posting content that is political, offensive, or otherwise inappropriate.
- Treat all members with respect and courtesy.
- Do not engage in harassment, bullying, or any form of abusive behavior.
- Avoid sharing content that infringes on the rights of others or violates any applicable laws.
CBBS reserves the right to monitor member interactions and content posted on the site. If a member violates these guidelines, CBBS may, at its sole discretion, remove the offending content and/or terminate the member’s access to the site without prior notice.
