New Stockhouse Community Policies After much time spent discussing privately with many other disillusioned current /former members not happy with the Decorum in EXRO community. I think it’s time for refresh. We all need to keep the decorum on the board Up , not messy. Please read the details below .
Of course for those that want to take a shot at me , go for it , you’ll only get one.

hOur Goal
Our goal at Stockhouse is to provide members with a safe and inclusive platform that allows them to share facts, opinions, and sentiment about publicly traded companies and their products and services. We wish to make it easy for investors to share and gather information that may be useful in their investment decisions. To do this we need to ensure that all members are behaving in an ethical, legal, and socially acceptable manner when participating in discussions on our Bullboards.

Bullying Policy
Bullying is considered to be the persistent and repeated abuse of one member by another. We’re a social media platform so some banter should be expected between members, however, continued and repeated targeting will not be tolerated. Everyone, at some point, may have something valuable to say and if you shut them down, you may be robbing yourself of useful insight. If you disagree, do so with some respect.

Profanity/Vulgarity Policy
Our expectation for the language used on site is that of a downtown public place in a typical city. Curse words are not entirely forbidden, but those that are used to insult, harass, marginalize, or intended to provoke are not welcome on site. Some words are black-listed, and we restrict their use entirely.

Defamatory Statements Policy
Defamation has a legal standard in both the U.S. and Canada. While defining defamation is a bit of a grey area, you need to be aware that your comments about an identifiable company, a person, or an institution can be held against you if those comments are perceived to injure or damage their reputation. Nobody is truly anonymous on the internet so choose your words wisely to avoid legal entanglement.

report
Off Topic Policy
Stockhouse is a community focused on sharing thoughts and information about publicly traded companies. Keep your discussion to relevant topics about a company, their management, their sector/subsector, or their products and services. If you stray too far afield your content will be removed.

report
SPAM Policy
The same content from a user that is posted across multiple Bullboards without providing legitimate context as to why it is relevant to the Bullboard it is being posted to. Be thoughtful and ensure the content belongs on the Bullboard that is posted on.

report
Advertising Policy
Content that is perceived to be commercial or promotional in nature that may or may not direct users off site. Don’t promote your business, services, or goods on Stockhouse. If you want to advertise on Stockhouse or get your message out to our Community then contact our sales team.

Physical Threats Policy
Physical threats to members or the public in general will not be tolerated. There’s no reason to take your discussion there and it could put you in legal jeopardy if you do.

report
Human Rights Code Policy
A message title or body that attacks or identifies someone on the basis of physical or mental disability, gender, age, unrelated criminal conviction, sexual orientation, family status, race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, political belief, religion, or marital status. We don’t believe there’s any room for this in society so don’t bring it to our site.

report
Copyright Policy
Did you just copy and paste something into a post? You likely just broke copyright law if you did. Do not post the entirety of other people’s works. Quote them and attribute them but do not rip them off.

report
Multiple Account Policy
We’re a fairly open platform allowing investors to share their insights. There’s no good reason to have multiple accounts at Stockhouse other than to circumvent Community Policies or avoid sanctions that those bring. If we suspect or discover you have more than one account we will shut down the duplicates.

We Need Your Help
We'd like to reiterate that we need your help too. We can't review every post, therefore, you're part of the solution in helping us weed out that undesirable content. You can:
- Familiarize yourself with our Community Policies
- See something, say something. Use the Report Abuse button when you see content that's questionable. If you report it, we'll review it.
- If you choose to use our Ignore User function, please also Report Abuse on any content that may have lead you to making that choice
Thank You!
Our goal is to provide a better experience for every member on Stockhouse and will be working hard to do that. Should you ever have any feedback, questions or concerns about how the Community is managed please reach out via email to our Community Management team at community@stockhouse.com.
Our next communication on this topic will be on November 28, 2022 when we roll out our new Community Management practices.
