Welcome to the BriskMD Community
At BriskMD, we strive to create a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for all users. These community guidelines outline the expectations for behavior and interaction within our community. By participating in our platform, you agree to adhere to these guidelines to help us maintain a positive atmosphere where everyone feels valued and supported.

1. Respectful Communication
We encourage open dialogue and the sharing of diverse perspectives. However, all members must engage in respectful and courteous communication. Harassment, hate speech, or any form of demeaning language will not be tolerated.

•  Be Kind: Approach discussions with empathy and kindness. Remember that behind every screen is a person with their own experiences and feelings.
• Constructive Dialogue: If you disagree with someone, express your thoughts respectfully. Focus on the issue at hand rather than attacking the individual.

2. No Discrimination or Hate Speech
BriskMD is committed to fostering an inclusive environment. Discrimination based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or any other characteristic is strictly prohibited.

•  Celebrate Diversity: We encourage members to share their unique perspectives and experiences. Embrace the diversity in our community as a source of strength.
•  Zero Tolerance Policy: Any form of hate speech or discriminatory remarks will lead to immediate action, including potential removal from the community.

3. Privacy Matters
Respect the privacy of fellow community members. Do not share personal information about others without their consent.

•  Protect Personal Information: Be mindful of what you share about yourself and others. Avoid discussing sensitive topics that may compromise someone’s privacy.
•  Confidentiality: If a member shares personal experiences or challenges, treat that information with confidentiality and respect.

Contributions should be relevant to the topics discussed within our community. Avoid posting spam, excessive self-promotion, or unrelated content that does not add value to discussions.

•  Stay On Topic: Ensure your posts contribute meaningfully to conversations. If you’re unsure whether something is relevant, consider how it aligns with current discussions.
