Code of Ethics

At eCompliments we believe integrity and credibility is one of the most important attributes of an online review forum.  In keeping with this belief, every eCompliments employee or affiliate signs the following Code of Ethics.

Our mission is to be the people’s forum for “sharing and finding good.” 

A primary goal of eCompliments is by providing our forum for sharing and finding the good, we facilitate more good to happen in the world.

Code of Ethics

eCompliments will hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards of conduct.  Every eCompliments employee and affiliate agrees to govern its actions according to the following guidelines:

I agree I will NEVER:

• Say or imply anything that would cause a profile owner to believe that buying an upgraded profile or advertising will:
  • Increase a profile’s eComplimeter ranking.
  • Will delete or suppress negative compliments on their profile.
  • Except for the Compliment Magnifier, cause compliments to be rearranged to show the best first or hide the worst.
• Remove a negative compliment from any profile, unless the negative complaint clearly violates the Site Use Agreement.
• Do anything that would bring into question the integrity or validity of the eComplimeter, its algorithm or the content that it is ranking.
• Pay a consumer to generate content for the site.
• Betray the identity of an anonymous poster to anyone outside of the Company, unless required to do so by law or under the terms of the Site Use Agreement.
• Argue or be rude to any user, registered user or profile owner, even if they are mistaken about the Company policies.
• Make and decision and perform any act that would be in direct violation of eCompliments’ clearly defined mission.

I agree I will ALWAYS:

• Report directly and immediately to the CEO any supervisor, other employee or affiliate who encourages me to violate this Code of Ethics for any reason.
• Act always in a professional manner with a positive attitude towards the users of eCompliments and my coworkers.
• Carry out my duties in such a way that perpetuates the spirit of eCompliments’ clearly defined mission.
