The Elsmar Cove Forum strives to create an environment that is open and safe for people to express their ideas. We encourage you to ask questions, exchange ideas, share best practices, and discuss your quality improvement challenges.
Guidelines
To promote the most beneficial discussions possible we suggest these simple guidelines:
Policies
The following topics pertain to how the forum is run so it will provide the best user experience.
Conflict - Communities consist of diverse opinions, and some contributors may not agree with others. Lively and robust discourse often includes disagreements or differences of opinion but if a thread or user crosses into hateful, offensive, harassing, or abusive commentary or actions, we will remove the offending posts and also the user, if necessary.
Criticism - While we welcome constructive discussions on the relative merits of industry solutions and services, we will delete negative comments that are not relevant and/or do not improve the customer experience.
Structure - Users should attempt to keep their comments on topic within the thread. That means discussions should relate to the topic and group within that post. This should not discourage you from posting your question, but be aware that moderators may move your post to a different topic that more closely pertains to the issue at hand.
Moderation - Select forum members who have earned the designation, along with PQ Systems employees, moderate, manage, and contribute to the Elsmar Cover forum. They will always identify themselves as such to avoid confusion. Their roles include engaging and encouraging discussion, making comments, organizing the forum, and enforcing these policies.

Guidelines
To promote the most beneficial discussions possible we suggest these simple guidelines:
- Speak kindly, clearly, and respectfully to everyone.
- Before you start a new discussion, search for answers. This avoids posts being marked as duplicates and keeps conversation flowing.
- If you don’t see it somewhere else, ask your question.
- Try to include all pertinent details and add helpful images or attachments, when available.
- If you know an answer, comment back.
- If you can solve another user’s question or provide valuable feedback, share your opinion and expertise.
- Share the forum with others. Send the link to others with whom you want to collaborate to encourage them to join your discussions. The more active, interested users we have, the more dynamic and helpful the forum can be.
