To help PTSC-Online work for the benefit of all, a Member Code of Conduct has been developed to help guide member participation in our on line community.  Many of the requirements are simply common sense and common courtesy but  a few requirements are unique to a virtual on line community. 

• Complete and maintain an up to date member profile.  Because PTSC-Online is a virtual on line community the member profile is important to help us get to know each other and learn more about each other. Click here for instructions and help with completing your member profile.
• Actively participate in discussion groups and contribute to knowledge bases, but observe common courtesy when doing so. 
• If you are a supplier of emergency management related goods or services, share your knowledge in discussion forms but please do not use PTSC-Online as a platform just for your sales presentation. Tactfully offer to help and link to our suppliers section where you can list your company, promote upcoming events and write blog articles about your goods and services. 
• Observe common courtesy when commenting in discussion groups and in all interaction with your fellow PTSC-Online community members

Maintaining Your Membership: 

There is no cost to join PTSC-Online but there is a cost to PTSC-Online for each member. To control costs and to build a more effective online community we expect members to use their membership as described above. Memberships which do not meet the code of conduct (no visible member profile and not contributing to our on line community) will be removed periodically without notice.  We understand other priorities may prevent you from contributing to your community so members which have been deleted may join again when they have time to use PTSC-Online.
