Community Guidelines

What binds diverse people into a community is a set of shared core values. We'd like to help make your experience in the Help Forum community a pleasant and productive one. Please observe the following rules for participating in our community.

  • Welcome the diverse opinions of your forum associates. We believe that diversity strengthens a community, and a strong community of professionals and enthusiasts is the best kind. This forum is a place to ask questions and to receive answers and clarifications. It is a little different than your average forum because we encourage a question and answer format. We are building knowledge to benefit the Palm community.
  • We encourage discussions, clarifications and even arguments, but please share your thoughts politely and constructively. Content that is abusive, vulgar, racist, slanderous, harassing, misleading, or otherwise objectionable will not be tolerated and may be removed at any time. Any form of direct or indirect personal attack or harassment, and any comment that calls for unlawful or illegal behavior or might result in harm to others are prohibited.
  • Palm offers an opportunity for communication and information sharing among a variety of participants in the Palm handheld and smartphone community. Members shall be solely responsible for ensuring that they do not act in any manner that constitutes, or forms a part of a course of conduct amounting to, a violation of any state, federal or other applicable competition law.
  • Take responsibility for what you say. You are responsible for the content of any messages you post in our community. All Help Forum members email addresses may be authenticated as part of registration and made available to the Palm moderators.
  • Stay on-topic. The moderators may remove any comments that stray from the subject at hand, including unsolicited ads and promotions. Appointed experts in the Help Forums who have a business related to their participation will be allowed to add information about their professional affiliations in their profile. For example, some Experts may be software developers or be affiliated to the wireless industry.
  • You may not post or transmit any message, data image or program that would violate the property rights of others, including unauthorized copyrighted text, images or programs, trade secrets or other confidential proprietary information, and trademarks or service marks used in an infringing fashion.
  • Palm reserves the right to reprint, modify, distribute, or delete your posting. We do not preview or edit postings before they appear on our site, but we do reserve the right to remove them if they violate these terms and conditions.
  • Community site areas are not to be used for commercial purposes unless sanctioned by the group administrator of the community. This includes solicitation of any third party software.
