Thanks for joining us. We all need to be committed to positive behaviour on this site if it is going to become a productive space.
Our shared purpose is growing the community energy sector in Australia so lets all tug in the right direction and recognise that there is space for everyone to contribute. Below is a code of conduct, modified from the Open Network on the future earth website.
As the community on the C4CE Knowledge Hub grows we will establish both an unspoken culture but also an agreed framework for conduct on this site. The Administrators can remove people and content from the site, and like any social network we will rely on the community itself to establish a positive culture, encourage all users to behave positively and report infringements to the administrators for action. The Initial Code of Conduct, Initial Terms and Conditions of Use and Initial Privacy Policy below establish our current position which we will confirm and improve with you - our user community.
