Community Code of Conduct
The Adobe Experience League Community is a place to ask questions, find answers, learn from experts, and share your knowledge. Our Community brings together people from diverse backgrounds and professions. To keep it safe and welcoming, we moderate content carefully. Please help us keep this a safe and welcoming place for all members and abide by our Community Code of Conduct.
These guidelines govern your use of the Adobe Experience League Community and are aligned with Adobe General Terms of Use. If you come across content that violates the Code of Conduct, please follow the instructions in the 'Report Abuse' section below. We take these to heart and hope that you'll do the same as well.
1. Be Respectful
The Experience League Community is a platform that helps people deepen their knowledge of Adobe products and services and connects learners to teachers from around the world. To maintain the quality of content and resources on the platform, we don't allow you to post mature, abusive, or illegal content to the Experience League Community, including but not limited to, the following:
-
Hate speech or offensive language
-
Harassment and threats
-
Spam and advertisements
-
Illegal activities or goods
-
Content involving violence
-
Self-harm or the promotion of self-harm
-
Promotion of terrorism or violent extremism
-
Pornographic material & explicit nudity
2. Be Supportive
We are a community designed to promote and encourage creative expression and a learning environment. Keep your posts, comments, private messages, and other communications on-topic, constructive, and encouraging.
3. Be Safe
Do not share your own or others' personal information (e.g., full name, home address, phone number, email address, government-issued IDs, or anything else that could lead to someone locating or contacting you outside of the community).
Beware of users purporting to be Adobe employees who are requesting your personal information or trying to gain access to your computer. Never share Adobe software serial numbers with anyone. Adobe employees can be identified by the 'Adobe Employee' tag next to their username. Please use the report button if you detect anything suspicious.
4. Be Authentic
We disable accounts that engage in behavior that undermines the authenticity of our community, including but not limited to, the following deceptive, harmful behaviors:
-
Using fake profiles
-
Impersonating other people or entities
-
Posting false or misleading information
-
Falsely attributing some else's work
-
Using automated or scripting processes (such as bulk or automated uploading of content through a script)
-
Accepting or offering compensation in exchange for engagement
-
Attempting to boost third-party service engagement
Uploading other's work as if it is your own is a copyright infringement and is not tolerated. If you are unsure whether your use of someone else's content or trademark in your own work is legal, you can talk to an attorney or consult publicly available reference materials at the following:
If you want to report the misuse of your own creative work or your own trademark by one of our users, you can do that here: Reporting Infringement on Adobe's Network form.
If you have a contract or other dispute with an Experience League Community user about content they have uploaded to our site, please resolve the issue directly with the user. We can't moderate contract, employment, or other disputes between our users and the public.
5. Report Abuse
For instructions on reporting abuse, spam, and violations to our Code of Conduct, see our Reporting Violations and Spam article.
About third party content
Websites
You may redirect users to a third-party website only when providing relevant context and if:
-
The information isn't in our Experience League Documentation or other official Adobe channels.
-
The content is directly related to the user's question.
-
It's free content available in a public channel (e.g., online tutorial, non-paying website, etc.).
Non-Adobe Products
If you're sharing information about a third-party paid product, please adhere to the following:
-
It must be a service or product not offered already by Adobe, that fixes an issue that Adobe doesn't offer a solution for.
-
Provide relevant context for why you're sharing it and ensure it is directly related to the user's question.
-
Explicitly state that it's a paid product.
Self-Promotions
Community members benefit greatly from the expertise shared by other Adobe users. However, they expect genuine knowledge - not sales pitches - so do not promote your services or products under any circumstances (e.g., no advertisements, promotional links, forms, etc.). By offering your insights openly and without expectation, you build trust - encouraging others to seek you out when they’re ready.
Generative AI
Using AI tools like ChatGPT is allowed, but posts should reflect your own expertise and hands-on experience. AI-generated content should supplement your response—not replace it—and add real value to the discussion.
If you include AI-generated content, note it in your post for transparency.
For more information about best practices and guardrails, see Using Generative AI Responsibly.
Warning
Failure to comply with our Community Code of Conduct may result in restricted posting permissions or removal from the Community. All warnings and bans will be supported with an explanation and reference to the policy being infringed upon. For more information, see our Reporting Violations, Spam, and Enforcement article.
