In short: We aim to keep all content and interactions professional, constructive, and focused.

 

1.1. People have the right to understand how to use the meoh app responsibly, so we have developed these guidelines to help ensure users have a good experience on the meoh app. We encourage all  users to follow these guidelines when using the meoh app.

1.2. Here at meoh, it is our mission to help our users connect to reliable partners. A big part of successfully connecting people together is the trust people engage while referring someone to somebody. 

1.3. We want to make sure that personal discussions on the TBS are constructive and that everyone feels free to express their opinions while remaining respectful and tolerant of others.

 

2. Your personal information

In short: Be genuine and accurate.

2.1. We encourage our members to use accurate information about themselves. Please do not provide misleading information about your qualifications or work experience, affiliations, or achievements on the platform. You risk losing credibility and negatively impacting the reputation of those who committed their credibility to endorse you.

2.2. While the meoh app does not maintain a “real name” policy, as a professional oriented network, we ask that your account be associated with your true identity for  professional and/or research purposes. Entities such as projects, communities, or organizations are to be represented by a real person.

3. Interacting with other users

In short: Stay respectful of others and acknowledge diversity.

3.1. Each of our users plays a role in establishing and promoting a positive, inclusive, and encouraging community. Discussions, publications, actions, or comments that promote hatred of any kind are not acceptable through communication on the meoh app. Members who engage in this kind of behavior expose themselves to be banned either temporarily or permanently from the platform. In our User Terms, we explain in more detail your responsibilities when you have a meoh account, when you post something on your profile, and when you interact with other members. 

3.2. Meoh app members engage on the platform to connect and engage with reliable partners. A recommended partner might not always be the right match. We believe that disagreements and healthy debate can lead to great progress. To facilitate these important conversations, we ask that our members respect each other's ideas and acknowledge the diversity of thought and opinion.

3.3. Harassment, defamatory and derogatory comments, explicit comments and content, and hate speech will not be tolerated. This includes personal attacks and attacks on other people based on their:

  • Race, ethnicity or national origin

  • Political or religious affiliation

  • Sexual orientation, gender or gender identity

  • Age, serious disease, or disability

3.4. This can be a delicate balancing act, but here intention is key; if the primary purpose is to attack, the content crosses the line.

3.5. Please note: members who repeatedly engage in disrespectful behavior risk having their content reported, deleted, and their membership disabled.
