Rules & Community Safety
Although we do have specific policies regarding a number of the features of the Adaptive Rec Hub, we also believe a few high-level community guidelines encompass the majority of these rules:
- Be kind, helpful, and positive with everyone on the Adaptive Rec Hub
- Offer your honest thoughts & opinions, but always be constructive
- Do whatever you can to help others lead active and engaged lives
- Watch out for the safety and wellness of others, speak up when necessary, and let us know if anything is wrong
- Use this platform in every way to help us make every journey from injury to independence easier than the last
Any violation of these rules may result in a warning, temporary suspension, or permanent ban from the Adaptive Rec Hub, depending on the severity of the violation.
