Welcome to KICTANet – Monthly Participation Guide & Netiquette

Thank you for your candid feedback and for taking the time to review the
Privacy Policy.

*KICTANet’s mailing list operates on an opt-in basis*, which is considered
the platinum standard for online communities. By subscribing, each member
explicitly consents to participate in a public forum where all
contributions, including email addresses, are visible to the community and
may be quoted or archived. This transparency is central to maintaining
trust, accountability, and constructive dialogue within the list.

Given the public and open nature of the forum, masking identities or
contributions is not permitted. This policy ensures that discussions remain
authentic and that all participants are accountable for their input. While
we understand privacy concerns, the opt-in approach means that continued
participation is a conscious choice to engage under these terms.

If you have further questions or suggestions about the policy, please feel
free to share them. Your feedback is always valued as we strive to balance
openness with community trust.

Wash, anything else to add?

Best regards
