CFTA Community Member Forum Policy

Introduction

The CFTA Forum is a place provided by CFTA for its members and constituents. The CFTA Member Forum is accessible through an active CFTA membership profile only and encourages networking, open communication, and resource sharing to foster an environment where members look to peers for ideas, advice, and share resources supporting the use and advancement of FM technologies.

Code of Ethics

INDIVIDUALS

All subscribers must follow CFTA’s Member Forum Code of Ethics:

  • Do not make derogatory statements to subscribers pertaining to ability or integrity or use abusive or derogatory language that might be considered questionable by even the most liberal and open-minded of networkers. 
  • Do not knowingly contribute to a subscriber’s dissatisfaction in their existing employment.
  • Do not solicit the services of employees of fellow subscribers.

BUSINESS PARTNERS

CFTA Business Partners are encouraged to participate on the Member Forum but must follow these additional requirements in CFTA’s Code of Ethics:

  • Do not use the Member Forum to market services unless authorized by the CFTA Executive Director or CFTA President.
  • Do respond to specific questions about your solution asked by fellow subscribers with a “service, not sales” supportive response.
  • Business Partners may request product solutions to be shared through direct digital marketing messaging based on their member sponsorship level.  See the CFTA Membership Benefits and submit request to the CFTA Executive Director. 

Misuse of the Member Forum

CFTA does not actively police the Member Forum and it is accessible to Members Only. We ask that you report any perceived violations of the above rules to us by emailing [email protected]. Doing so will enable us to act quickly.  Violations of these polices will be addressed on a case-by-case basis and may result in warnings or expulsion from the forum.

CFTA ListServ 

While free and open discourse is encouraged, certain policies and rules are required to ensure that our online community remains fair, ethical, friendly, and legal.  All policies listed for the CFTA Member Forum apply.  Subscription to the the PUBLIC ListServ is entirely voluntary by the end user.
