Community Guidelines:
ABIM is using Facebook to share helpful information, like exam dates, deadlines and program updates, with our candidates and diplomates. We welcome posts, comments, ideas and concerns. ABIM expects posts to be respectful and professional, following conventions of civil discourse, and for posts and comments to comply with Facebook’s Terms of Use. ABIM asks that you not post
comments that, and ABIM may delete comments or posts that it deems to include:
• Anonymous comments or comments posted under pseudonyms.
• Profane, hostile, threatening or other disrespectful, harassing, inflammatory disparaging or defamatory language.
• False, inaccurate, libelous, or otherwise misleading information.
• Indecent, s*xually explicit or pornographic material or any kind.
• Hate speech directed at race, s*x, s*xual orientation, national origin, ethnicity, age, religion or disability.
• Blanket allegations against organizations or individuals (e.g., questioning their integrity) & personal attacks of any kind.
• Marketing, promotional, spam or fundraising materials.
• Off-topic or irrelevant spam
• Personal health information. In addition, we may remove identical posts by the same user or multiple users (a group of people sending identical messages or one person submitting under different aliases). ABIM’s page is moderated to help facilitate discussions, knowledge-sharing and participation. ABIM reserves the right to remove comments that do not comply with these guidelines or Facebook’s Terms of Use and to block offenders of these guidelines. ABIM will attempt to conduct moderation activities in a timely fashion; however, we are not responsible for delays in editing/removing posts, or for failure to do so. Moderators may also take actions they deem necessary to limit user access to the discussions and the community for violating the community guidelines. For instance, a moderator or manager can, at his/her sole discretion, ban a user from the discussions either temporarily or permanently and may do so without warning.
