The Rigzone Social Network Community Guidelines


The Rigzone Social Network is a platform for professionals to speak up about their industry, their career, and their passion. We want our members to share their knowledge, find jobs, to learn, communicate, connect with peers and like-minded professionals, and build a professional community, that will empower their career in energy.
The content that you create and share on the Rigzone Social Network should be professionally relevant within the energy industry and provide a meaningful contribution. We want the Rigzone Social Network to be a place of respect, honesty, and authenticity in order to build reliable opportunities for everyone.
We are serious when it comes to abuse, which is why we have created a set of community guidelines that outlines what is and is not acceptable on Rigzone. As the Rigzone Social Network expands, we will continue to review our policies based on the feedback from our community and follow the advice of experts.
We want the community to be able to speak up and discuss openly about their experience, voice their opinion, share their knowledge, and address issues that matter to them, in a professional, respectable manner.
