Risk & Insurance® Blog Conduct Policy

Risk and Insurance Blogging Policy

1. Our goal with the "Risk at RIMS 2008" blog is to expand on our print and online coverage of the annual conference of the Risk and Insurance Management Society (or RIMS for anyone who might be reading this blog by accident).

2. Like every other aspect of our online and print publications, our Risk at RIMS 2008 blog should deliver to our readers the most intriguing, deep and well-informed information possible on the insurance industry. About the innovations, viewpoints and stories of the risk managers for some of the world’s largest corporations. As well as on other professionals who operate in it.

3. Our editors will employ the same ethical and legal considerations in posting to the blog as they do in every other venue of the publication. In other words:

A. No blog content is meant in any way to defame or otherwise willfully injure the reputation of any company and/or individual. (We cannot say the same for fictitious characters invented in a late-night or early-morning post for the primary purpose of entertaining the writer.)

B. We will not willfully or negligently provide false or misleading information about any company and/or individual.

C. Our editors will use a civil tone in posts and in their online dialogue with readers and subscribers. The same will be expected of readers and subscribers who comment to the blog. Of course, this does not mean that we, or you, should not try to be funny, sarcastic or otherwise entertaining (in a good-natured way).

4. Risk & Insurance® withholds the right to deny permission for readers to comment on a post, as well as to remove reader comments that we deem unfit for publication. (Read section 3C.)

5. Risk & Insurance® is not liable for the content of reader comments posted to the blog. However, if you find a particular reader comment (or any blog post) inappropriate, offensive, demeaning or otherwise harmful, please notify us immediately. We will take measures to address and/or remove the particular material.
