Last Updated 2/12/19

Welcome to the AppDynamics Community! 

We encourage you to participate in discussions, ask questions, find answers, and enrich our diverse community.

Like the technical community as a whole, the AppDynamics team and Community is made up of people from all over the world. We value diversity and inclusivity—and recognize that this can sometimes lead to communication issues.

This is why we've set some ground rules that apply to all spaces in our Community, including but not limited to Discussion Forums and the Knowledge Base. Please keep in mind that this is not an exhaustive list of things that you cannot do, but rather a guide to make it easier for users to participate.

How do I report Code of Conduct violations?

Please report all Code of Conduct violations to the moderation team by clicking the 3-dot icon in the top-right corner of a specific post and selecting "Report Inappropriate Content." 

 

What will happen then?

Moderators will remove discussions and comments that violate the User Code of Conduct. Repeat offenders will have posting privileges revoked by our administrators.
