Alerts is a service provided to members of the Association of Payment Professionals (APP) as an online medium to ask questions and share knowledge within the community. Opinions and views expressed within the communities are solely those of the author and do not represent APP, its Board of Directors, Officers, or employees.
Please do:
- use the communities to share knowledge, and build your reputation as an expert
- include your name and affiliation in postings
- be polite and respectful in your posts and replies
- keep it clean (i.e., no profanity or obscenity)
- give credit where credit is due by citing your sources
- search before posting a question, it may have been answered already
- adhere to all APP policies, legal requirements, and guidelines regarding use of Alerts
- report illegal or inappropriate postings you find within a community to info@paymentpros.org or 213-309-6165
- Send messages for Alert moderators or APP Staff to info@paymentpros.org
Please don't:
- talk about fees, pricing, boycotting, or related topics as it invites charges of violating antitrust laws
- share confidential client Information
- post defamatory, abusive, threatening, offensive, or illegal materials - don't post anything you don't want the public to see
- post promotional messages (e.g., products/services, job postings, firm/business acquisitions, programs not affiliated with APP) without written permission from APP
- post unnecessary messages to the whole group; instead, send appreciative notes directly to the sender rather than posting to the whole group
- send angry, critical, sarcastic, or emotionally charged messages
APP will:
- create new forums as requested when there is sufficient interest from members
- monitor forum postings and respond to user complaints about specific postings
- remove a posting if it violates the code of conduct or legal requirements or guidelines
- remove a member from a forum who continues to violate the code of conduct after receiving a warning
- occasionally display, copy, publish, and distribute information posted within the unrestricted forums for the purposes of marketing and encouraging member usage
APP doesn't:
- edit postings except to redact small items as part of our antitrust compliance program
- pay for postings to Alerts
- review postings for technical accuracy
