Member Group Guidelines

Members of APG Groups agree to abide by the following guidelines:

1. This list is for the exchange and discussion of information only. Please maintain a courteous and civil discourse. While polite disagreements are acceptable, please refrain from posting religious, political, or discriminatory (ethnic origin, nationality, disability, age, or sexual orientation) comments.
2. Ensure that the subject line of your posts is current and accurate.
3. Do not post requests for searches of subscription websites. In addition to being unethical, this violates the terms and conditions of many of these sites.
4. Respect Copyright. If you are not the author of all content in your posting, ensure you have explicit permission by the copyright holder to redistribute the material to others. If you do not have this permission, then refer to the material by hyperlink.
5. The APG Groups are archived. You agree to allow APG to redistribute to the Group any of the material that you authored and submitted. You also agree that APG may store this content in archives.
6. Please do not solicit business of potential customers, or offer products or services to other members through the Group Discussion page. Members are encouraged to advertise their services by purchasing an ad in the APGQ or by offering a discount to members through the "member discount" page.
7. All APG Group participants must adhere to the APG Code of Ethics & Professional Practices. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in temporary loss of posting privileges. Repeated failure to follow these guidelines will result in the loss of all Group privileges.

If you feel someone in an APG Group is behaving inappropriately, please contact the APG office.
