Community Guidelines

Last updated: 2026-03-22

Our Mission

ServoPress Club is a professional community for servo press engineers to share knowledge, solve problems, and advance the field. These guidelines help keep discussions productive and respectful.

Be Respectful

? Do: Treat every member with respect. Disagree with ideas, not people. Remember that members range from students to 30-year veterans.

? Don't: Personal attacks, harassment, discrimination, or condescending language. Zero tolerance.

Be Helpful

? Do: Share your experience. Provide context with questions (machine model, material, tonnage, etc.). Cite sources when possible. Help newcomers.

? Don't: Post vague questions without context. Gatekeep knowledge. Dismiss questions as "too basic."

Stay On Topic

? Do: Post in relevant categories. Keep discussions focused on servo press engineering, manufacturing, and related topics.

? Don't: Spam, off-topic posts, or thread hijacking.

Commercial Content

? Do: Share genuine product experiences and recommendations. Mention vendors when relevant to a technical discussion. Disclose affiliations.

? Don't: Spam product links. Post pure advertisements. Astroturf (fake reviews or fake user accounts for promotion).

Safety First

When discussing operations, maintenance, or modifications:

Always emphasize safety precautions.
Never recommend bypassing safety systems (light curtains, interlocks, E-stops).
Remind others that online advice doesn't replace proper training and on-site assessment.

Enforcement

First violation: Warning from moderators.
Repeated violations: Temporary suspension (7-30 days).
Severe violations: Permanent ban (harassment, safety endangerment, spam).

To report a violation, use the flag button on any post or email moderators@servopress.club.
