Community Rules:
The following set of “house rules” strives to will encourage productive participation by users and grow a transparent community. Lithon strives to create informative, engaging, supportive communities where we can share information and have conversations. We strive to create an inspiring, supportive community on all our social media platforms, so we ask that all users comply by our Community Guidelines.
1. All posts and content are bound by this site/platform/channel’s official terms of use. Feedback: This is not the right forum to send feedback about our services or companies, solicit business, or request donations. Please use the Contact Us portion of our corporate website for those topics.
3. Stay On Topic and Be Respectful: We ask that everyone show respect for other members of our social media communities. We encourage and welcome your comments and feedback, provided that you share your viewpoint in a way that is respectful to us and our community, and is not inappropriate, off-topic, abusive, harassing, profane, or promoting/soliciting third-party sites, initiatives or products. Acronyms referring to this kind of language and such words or phrases in other languages will not be tolerated. Posts will be removed immediately without notice. We will also remove any posts that refer to illegal activity. Remember, much of what is put on the Internet remains there forever. Consider whether you would be embarrassed if your employer or future employers were to discover it. We encourage open discussion among community members. However, postings that are deemed irrelevant to the Lithon Community may be removed at our discretion
4. Carefully Consider What You Post: For your own safety and security, please refrain from posting personal or family contact information (home phone numbers, mailing or home addresses, personal e-mail addresses, etc.)
5. Don't Spam: We encourage you to use the space as a platform to share information. However, overtly commercial advertisements, solicitations and promotions are not allowed and will be removed promptly.
6. Legal and Regulatory Issues: Because we are a professional company in a professional and regulated industry, there are certain topics we won’t be able or willing to talk about here, and some of your discussions may need to be redirected or removed for the same reason. By way of example, we ask that you refrain from posting comments that contain:
• Profane, defamatory, offensive or violent language
• “Trolling”, or posting deliberately disruptive statements meant to hijack comment threads or throw discussions off-track
• Attacks on specific groups or any comments meant to harass, threaten or abuse an individual
• Hateful or discriminatory comments regarding race, ethnicity, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation or political beliefs
• Links or comments containing sexually explicit content material
• Discussion of illegal activity
• Spam, link baiting or files containing viruses that could damage the operation of other people’s computers or mobile devices
• Acknowledgement of intent to stalk an individual or collect private information without disclosure
• Commercial solicitations or promotion of a competitor
• Violations of copyright or intellectual property rights
• Content that relates to confidential or proprietary business information
• Content determined to be inappropriate, in poor taste, or otherwise contrary to the purposes of the forum
• Promoting competing products, services, or brands
• Personal promotion
7. Law Enforcement: Your comment, response, or other posting may also be submitted to law enforcement if we have a good faith belief that disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to detect and prevent fraud or to protect the safety of the public or an individual.
8. Comment & Response: We will do our best to respond quickly to your comments and feedback. Generally, we check in at least twice a day during business hours and once on non-business days. Please remember, though, that this forum contains the opinions and views of other users. Although we are moderating our channels to help ensure that users’ posts comply with these Guidelines, we cannot be responsible for the accuracy or reliability of any comments or materials posted by users.
9. Right to Reject or Remove: We reserve the right to reject or remove comments that are not in keeping with our policy and to block or ban users/followers who violate this policy. By posting, you are promising us that your post complies with these Guidelines and doesn’t contain any of the restricted content listed above. Please note, however, that we may remove any post that we believe does not so comply.
