Please submit your information in the form below. A member from our team of Buffering Slack reviewers will get in touch with you after reviewing your responses.

▶ Be kind, courteous, and respectful

We’re a global community with many different beliefs, backgrounds, and experiences, and we all have the right to feel comfortable within this community space. Be polite and respectful in your interactions. Do not insult or put down other members. Harassment and other exclusionary behavior aren’t acceptable. A community where people feel uncomfortable is not a productive one.
▶ Respect privacy

Honor the confidentiality of other people’s comments, shared experiences and work. Remember, just because they’re comfortable sharing this information with you doesn’t necessarily mean they want it shared with others. When in doubt, or even when you’re fairly positive but not 100% certain, use good manners and ask for permission to share screenshots or information posted in this workspace.
▶ Honor inclusion

We are committed to building a participatory community that works for everyone. Although we all fail at times, we seek to treat everyone as fairly and equitably as possible. Whenever a participant has made a mistake, we expect them to take responsibility for it. If someone has been harmed or offended, it is our responsibility to listen carefully and respectfully, and do our best to right the wrong. Although this list cannot be exhaustive, we explicitly honor diversity in age, disability status, gender identity and expression, culture, ethnicity, language, national origin, political beliefs, profession, race, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and technical ability. We will not tolerate discrimination based on any of these characteristics.
▶ Speak up

If you see behavior that violates these guidelines, please tag @moderator or email buffering@acs.org. Let them know where to find the post and what your concern is. One of them will review the post and take it down if they find it to be in violation of our community standards. In extreme cases, users may be removed from the platform. In addition, if you notice that a community member seems to be in a state of distress, or witness an interaction you find alarming, please contact the team.

To send an e-mail to multiple recipients, separate e-mail addresses with a comma, semicolon, or both.
