Rules of engagement

 

We want this forum to be a lively and valuable part of the Government Property Community – a place where property professionals can debate and engage with the most important issues. The ability to post on this forum is a privilege, not a right, however, and that privilege may be withdrawn if it is abused or misused.

Please report any comments that break our rules.

Forum Posts: Our rules

  • No bigotry of any kind, including prejudice on the basis of race, sex, gender, religion, disability, sexual orientation, political affiliation, age or appearance.
  • No advertising or spam.
  • No swearing or overtly sexual language. If you wouldn’t want your children to read it, don’t post it.
  • No defamation. You must NOT make any statement about a person that unjustly harms their reputation. YOU are responsible and could be sued and have to pay damages.
