Forum Rules - IFRScommunity.com

Introduction

When participating in the IFRS Community Forums, please maintain high standards of online etiquette, commonly known as Netiquette. This encompasses the acceptable practices and behaviours for online communication.
Strive to contribute as much as you seek help. If you have valuable insights, don’t hesitate to join ongoing discussions.

No spam is permitted. Posts primarily promoting other websites, products, or services are not allowed. If you encounter a spam post, refrain from replying and use the ‘report’ button represented by an exclamation mark next to the topic or post.
Avoid asking overly broad or general questions that would require lengthy explanations (e.g., ‘What are the challenges of fair value measurement?’). Please be specific in your queries.
Please don’t request that we complete, re-check or validate your calculations. We simply don’t have the time. Instead, provide a concise and straightforward example to clarify your point.
Don’t divert discussions by ‘hijacking’ topics initiated by others. If you have a question, start a new topic.
Our community is comprised of individuals with varied expertise, who may be offline for the time being. Kindly resist the urge to ‘bump’ your questions if a response is not forthcoming within a day or two.
The official language of the forums is English. While you don’t need to be proficient in English, please stick to this language. Short, simple, yet understandable sentences are acceptable. Don’t apologise for any language shortcomings.

Limit quoting IFRS Standards to brief references (e.g., IFRS 15.20 to refer to paragraph 20 of IFRS 15). If quoting is indispensable, use the shortest excerpt necessary. See also guidelines for quoting other members’ posts.

Always respect copyright laws.
All IFRS Foundation publications are copyrighted. Even though IFRS Standards may be incorporated into local laws, accompanying materials like ‘Basis for Conclusions,’ ‘Implementation Guidance,’ and ‘Illustrative Examples’ are not. You may cite these materials under the ‘fair use‘ rule but avoid posting their full text.
You may share short excerpts from Big 4 publications under the ‘fair use’ rule, provided you link back to the original source.
Once you publish a post, it becomes part of the community’s collective effort and cannot be deleted upon your request.
By participating in the forums, you are granting a CC0 licence for your posts to Marek Muc, which means it can be repurposed for the Knowledge Base or additional works published by Marek Muc.

If you encounter a post or topic that you believe violates these rules or is otherwise inappropriate, report it using the available exclamation mark icon next to each post.
IFRScommunity.com reserves the right to remove, edit, or close any topic that breaches these rules, at the discretion of the administrator or moderator. Violations may result in an immediate and permanent ban.
