Forum rules

Post as yourself or your real company. No fake personas, and don't pretend to be another person or company.

Don't post false statements of fact that could harm the reputation of a person or a company. You are responsible for what you post.

Don't accuse named people or companies of fraud, crimes or dishonesty unless it is a verifiable fact (for example, a court decision or an official public record you can link to). Stick to what you saw yourself and what can be checked. Say “in my experience” and keep opinion clearly separate from fact.

No threats, insults, slurs or hate, no pile-ons, and don't follow someone around the forum. Disagree with the idea, not the person.

Don't post other people's home addresses, personal phone numbers or emails, unit numbers, licence plates, or photos of people who haven't agreed. When you discuss clients or payment problems, don't name private individuals. Companies can be discussed, factually.

No cold pitches, ads or link-dropping in threads. Your profile already links to your listing. Link shorteners and repeated posts are blocked. To promote your business, see Advertise with us.

Don't post anything unlawful or that encourages unlawful conduct (for example, bid-rigging or price-fixing). Only post photos, documents, drawings and text you have the right to share, and never confidential bid documents.

Answer the question that was asked, show your work, and post in the right room.

Use the “Report” link on any post or thread. Signed-in members who can post may report (not their own posts) and may add a reason. When three different members report the same post, it is hidden automatically until a moderator reviews it.

For a legal problem, such as defamation, personal information or copyright, you can also email privacy@pmrfp.com. Our Corrections and removal policy explains how we handle those requests.

• Review reported posts and posts held for review.
• Hide posts or threads that break these rules, and restore those that don't.
• Lock threads that have gone off the rails, and pin useful ones.
• Stop an account from posting for serious or repeated breaches.

Some checks are automatic: posts with links from new members may be held for review before they appear, and posting limits apply. A post hidden by a moderator can lower the author's company reputation score.

If you think a post was hidden or your account was stopped from posting by mistake, email info@pmrfp.com with a link to the post and why you think the decision was wrong. We'll review it and reply.
