Guidelines
Traders coming on board with Prop-Connect have an opportunity to connect with the best Prop Firm businesses. We know that traders won\\\'t always share the same opinion; however, we expect everyone on the site to treat each other and the platform with honesty and respect. Hence, we’ve put together these general guidelines to help set the tone for discourse on the site, just in case. Also, please read the additional guidelines below with regard to the type of content that you might contribute to the site.

Relevance
Please make sure your contributions are appropriate for the forum. For example, reviews aren’t the place for rants about political ideologies, a business’s employment practices, extraordinary circumstances, or other matters that don’t address the core of the trader’s experience.

Inappropriate content
Colorful language and imagery are fine, but there’s no place for threats, harassment, lewdness, hate speeches, or other displays of bigotry.

Conflicts of interest
Your contributions to Prop-Connect should be unbiased and objective. For example, you shouldn’t write reviews of your own prop firm or employer, your peers, or your competitors.

Privacy
Don't make people's private information public, and don't use other people's full names unless you are referring to someone who is frequently known by that name.

Security at Prop-Connect
For us at Prop Connect, safeguarding information is paramount in managing an online review community. Ensuring robust data security is crucial, be it for individuals leaving reviews on Prop-Connect, users of our platform, our esteemed clients, partners, or even our dedicated staff.

Promotional content
Don’t post promotional content. Let’s keep the site useful for traders and not overrun with commercial noise from users.

Intellectual property
Don’t swipe content from other sites, users, or businesses. You’re a smart cookie, so write your own copy and share your own experience.

Additional Guidelines

Review Guidelines
The best reviews are personal, passionate, and reflect your consumer experience. They offer a rich narrative, a wealth of detail, and a helpful tip or two for other traders. Here are some additional thoughts for conscientious reviewers:

Personal experience
We want to hear about your firsthand experience, not what you heard from your partner or co-worker. Tell your own story without resorting to broad generalizations and conclusory allegations.

Accuracy
Make sure your review is factually correct. Feel free to air your opinions, but don’t exaggerate or misrepresent your experience. We don’t take sides when it comes to factual disputes, so we expect you to stand behind your review.

Demanding payment
Writing a review should be informative and meant to help the Prop-Connect community. You should not threaten to post or offer to remove a negative review as a way to extract payment from a prop firm.

Review updates
Review updates should reflect a new experience or interaction with the business. Don’t keep posting about the same old story you’ve already told. If you’d like to add new insight to an old experience, you can edit your review within 30 days of posting it.

Community Guidelines
Don’t be shy. Use your account profile to let people know who you are and what makes you tick. Your peers want to read reviews from traders they know and trust (not those with profiles that are empty or laced with inappropriate content).

User Profiles
Since user trust and transparency are important to us, anonymous users who are disruptive to the community will be dealt with more sternly than those who stand behind their words. We encourage users to tell people a little something about themselves, but we ask that you keep it relevant and don’t attack competitors, reviewers, or Prop-Connect. Avoid seeding your profile with keywords, special offers, or promotions—we’ll remove those if we see them.

Business Messaging
Businesses should message reviewers using their free business accounts. Direct messaging is often the best way to resolve a dispute with an unhappy trader, but you can also address issues publicly by posting a public comment in response to a review. As with traders, don’t use direct messages or public comments to launch personal attacks or offer an incentive to change a review.

Ask the Community
Being able to ask and answer community questions about a prop firm is extremely valuable, but as they say, with great power comes great responsibility. Stick to questions that are also relevant to others, don’t ask loaded questions or make presumptions, and keep the tone civil and non-argumentative. If you really don’t have anything meaningful to add, it\\\'s best not to say anything at all. Clear questions with enough context and details will get more focused answers and a meaningful conversation.
