Forum rules

Hey Pharmily!

We want everyone to get the most out of this community, so we ask that you please read and follow these guidelines:

Posting Guidelines

1. Due to the multinational nature of the forum, please use English. If you’d like to use a different language, consider providing a translation of the relevant portion in your topic/reply. It could even be a machine translation (Google Translate, for example), as long as the point comes across correctly.

2. Stick to the topic when responding to posts created by others.

3. This is primarily an academic forum, so when citing or referring to an external source, be sure to provide a link or complete reference to that source in order for others to access/verify it. It should go without saying that plagiarism is not tolerated; do try and cite sources whenever posting an opinion that is not your own.

4. This is a public forum, so please consider very carefully before posting your own personal information. Posting personal information of anyone else is a major violation of the rules of conduct for this forum and will result in the deletion of the topic/reply and a single warning; a second violation will result in a permanent ban.

Rules on Appropriate Behaviour

1. Be respectful towards other forum members.

2. Don’t be offensive, abusive or cause harassment.

3. Do not post content that includes sexual, hateful, racist, homophobic, sexist, provocative or vulgar content.

4. External sources should always be used with proper reference that can be accessed and verified. While open-access links are always preferred, links to paywalled sources (such as closed journals) may be acceptable on a case-by-case basis.

5. DO NOT reveal anyone’s identity by posting their personal information.

6. Just utilise common-sense rules of being nice; this is a forum for the discussion of academic topics, not flame-war territory!!

Rights of Moderators

Moderators can, at their own discretion:

1. close topics or forums;

2. edit topics or replies (but only by clearly displaying their edits);

3. move topics or replies to the appropriate topic/forum, if necessary; and

4. delete topics or replies.
