Community rules

What the network is for

Professional connection across green technology in growth markets: finding collaborators, buyers, suppliers, speakers and colleagues. Messaging exists between people who have both agreed to connect. Nobody can message you without your acceptance.

What is not allowed

• Harassment, hate speech, or threats of any kind.
• Unsolicited bulk outreach or spam. The connection model exists precisely so this has no channel.
• Misrepresentation: claiming credentials, verification status or affiliations you do not hold. (Verification claims live on the public record at esgos.org, not here.)
• Sharing another member's personal data outside the platform without their consent.
• Solicitation of bribes, "facilitation" payments, or preferential government access. The platform operates to UK Bribery Act, FCPA and Singapore PCA standards, and this rule has no exceptions.

How moderation works

• Report any message from its thread. Reports go to a staffed moderation queue.
• Every decision is made against these rules and recorded in writing: what was decided, by whom, and why.
• Actions run from removing a message to blocking a conversation to suspending an account. Repeat or severe violations mean removal from the network without refund.
• Block works instantly and needs no approval: blocking someone ends the connection and all contact, permanently.

Takedown and appeal

To request removal of content about you, or to appeal a moderation decision, use the contact form (topic: General). You will receive a written response. Where the law of your jurisdiction grants stronger rights, those rights prevail.
