DrACED Community Guidelines
At DrACED, we are committed to fostering a respectful, inclusive, and intellectually enriching environment where learners and medical professionals can engage meaningfully. These guidelines outline the expected standards of conduct for all users who interact on the platform, whether through comments, Q&A discussions, or other interactive features.
All users must maintain a respectful and professional tone. Harassment in any form, including personal attacks, derogatory language, or discriminatory statements based on race, gender, ethnicity, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, or professional background, is strictly prohibited. Hate speech, bullying, or intimidation will lead to content removal and may result in account suspension or permanent deactivation.
This platform is intended solely for professional and academic exchange. It must not be used to seek or offer personal medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment recommendations. DrACED is not a substitute for clinical judgment and should never be used in ways that compromise patient privacy or violate professional ethics.
Users must not share any patient-related information that could identify individuals, directly or indirectly. Even anonymized cases must be handled with care and comply with confidentiality standards. Any content involving real patient data must be fully de-identified, and appropriate consents must be obtained in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
Spam, unauthorized advertising, and promotion of external services or products are not allowed. Posting links without prior approval is prohibited. Misrepresentation of identity, qualifications, or affiliations is a serious violation and may result in legal consequences and immediate removal from the platform.
DrACED reserves the right to moderate content and user behavior. This includes editing or removing content that violates these guidelines or applicable law and restricting access for repeated violations. Users are encouraged to report misconduct via the platform’s reporting tools.
By using this platform, users agree to follow all applicable laws, including those governing medical content and user safety. International users must comply with data protection regulations such as the GDPR, where applicable.
DrACED may revise these guidelines at any time. Continued use of the platform implies acceptance of any updates. Users are encouraged to check back periodically.
This platform exists to promote excellence in medical education. By respecting these guidelines, you help us maintain a professional, meaningful learning space.
