Submissions
Stay on topic. CLEARIFY Support Communities is here to help people use CLEARIFY products and technologies more effectively. Unless otherwise noted, do not add Submissions about non-technical topics, including:
- Speculations or rumors about unannounced products.
- Discussions of CLEARIFY policies or procedures or speculation on CLEARIFY decisions.
Be polite. Everyone should feel comfortable reading submissions and participating in discussions. CLEARIFY will not tolerate flames or other inappropriate statements, material, or links. Most often, a “flame” is simply a statement that is taunting and thus arbitrarily inflammatory. However, this also includes those which are libelous, defamatory, indecent, harmful, harassing, intimidating, threatening, hateful, objectionable, discriminatory, abusive, vulgar, obscene, pornographic, sexually explicit, or offensive in a sexual, racial, cultural, or ethnic context.
Post constructive comments and questions. Unless otherwise noted, your Submission should either be a technical support question or a technical support answer. Constructive feedback about product features is welcome as well. If your Submission contains the phrase “I’m sorry for the rant, but…” you are likely in violation of this policy.
Do not post polls or petitions or links to same.
Test your answer. When possible, make sure your Submission works on your own computer before you post it.
No advertising. Do not use the Site to sell or market your products to others and do not post a URL unless it directly answers a user’s question. If any portion of your Submission, including any posted URL, results in any accrual of compensation or benefit to you, you must note this in your post by stating, “I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.”
As well, the following are not allowed:
- A submission created solely to advertise a book, service, software or some other item for sale.
- Any reference, including a link, to a commercial item that is not directly related to a relevant technical support question or answer.
With regard to Public Forums and use of the Personal Assistant Chat, you may sign your Submissions with information about yourself. However, this should not include a link to a website – unless you are an approved Solution Provider. An example of an acceptable signature: John Doe, Author, “John Doe Communities: Tips and Tricks”
No inappropriate usernames (“Aliases”) or impersonations. Inappropriate or offensive usernames or aliases will be removed and persons attempting to impersonate another user will be removed. Usernames may not contain websites, email addresses or other contact information.
Keep within the Law. No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
Do not post defamatory material.
License to Use Submission
By sending a Submission to the Site you agree to grant CLEARIFY a perpetual, royalty-free, non-exclusive worldwide right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, play, make available to the public, and exercise all copyright and publicity rights with respect to the Submission. If you do not want to grant CLEARIFY the rights set out above, do not send your Submission to the Site.
Never reveal any personal information unless expressly permitted by a CLEARIFY engineer – and only within a private ticket.
