COMMUNITY

Code of Conduct

azCloudOps is a professional community. This code applies in article comments, in every azCloudOps community space and at any event run under the azCloudOps name.

What we expect

• Be respectful and assume good faith. Disagree with ideas, not people.
• Back technical claims with sources where you can, and say so when you are speculating.
• Stay vendor-neutral. Compare products on evidence, not loyalty.
• Disclose your employer when you discuss that employer’s products or competitors.
• Help newcomers. Every expert was once asking the obvious question.

What is not allowed

• Harassment, personal attacks, discrimination, or demeaning language about anyone.
• Sales pitches, lead generation, affiliate links, recruiting posts and undisclosed promotion.
• Posting confidential information: customer data, credentials, secrets, tenant or account identifiers, or material covered by a non-disclosure agreement.
• Sharing exploit code or instructions for attacking systems you do not own. Responsible discussion of published vulnerabilities and defenses is welcome.
• Plagiarism, including republishing vendor documentation or someone else’s article as your own.

How moderation works

Moderators may edit, close or remove comments and posts that break this code. Most issues end with a friendly note. Repeated or serious violations lead to a temporary or permanent ban from azCloudOps community spaces.
