Principles for sponsor engagement on AHB
Keep it civilised – AHB is intended as a positive forum for home-brewers to share and learn.
AHB is a home-brewing forum – AHB has no place being judge, jury and executioner determining and applying sanctions for actions outside of AHB. If you believe a business is engaging in improper practices – report it to the relevant authority.
Let the moderators – moderate. Do not take it into your own hands to attempt to address any real or perceived breaches of these rules. Simply click on the “Report” link on the relevant post.
Be overt about your interests – it is your responsibility as a sponsor to ensure that any AHB members with links to your business in any way declare their interest. This can be achieved by simply adding “Employee/Owner of ???” to their signature block
