PowerForum Rules & Community Guidelines

PowerForum was created to support open, technical, and high-value discussion among energy professionals. To ensure productive collaboration, we ask all members to follow these core principles:

1. Stay On Topic

Each forum is designed for specific areas of discussion. Please post your questions and insights in the most appropriate category. Off-topic or misplaced threads may be moved or removed.

2. No Self-Promotion or Spam

This is not a platform for cold outreach, generic vendor blasts, or sales pitches. If you are a vendor or manufacturer, you're welcome to contribute — but all posts must be educational and transparent. Repeated violations will result in removal.

3. Be Respectful & Constructive

We welcome differing views and open debate, but keep it professional. Personal attacks, harassment, or discriminatory remarks will not be tolerated.

4. Protect Sensitive Information

Do not post confidential client or project data. Always anonymize site-specific details unless you have permission to share them publicly.

5. Keep It Technical

This forum is for professionals — not DIYers or casual consumers. We expect posts to be rooted in real-world practice, engineering principles, or industry policy. Low-signal content will be moderated.

6. Identify Conflicts of Interest

If you're affiliated with a company, manufacturer, or developer, be transparent when discussing tools, platforms, or projects you're involved in.

7. Help Moderate

If you see spam, inappropriate content, or off-topic posts, use the “Report” feature. We rely on the community to help keep PowerForum clean and focused.
