Community Guidelines

These rules are designed to keep our medical community safe, helpful, and ethical.

1. No Insults or Hate Speech

Communicate with respect. Insults, discrimination, personal attacks, or aggression are strictly prohibited. We are building a professional and supportive atmosphere.

2. No Spam or Advertising

Posting promotional messages, irrelevant links, or spamming the same publications is prohibited. If you want to recommend a drug, do it reasonably in the context of a clinical case.

3. Rating Abuse and Manipulation

Any attempts to artificially artificially increase reputation (farming likes, creating fake accounts, mutual upvotes) will be punished by a ban.

4. Ethics and Confidentiality (Medical Secrecy)

Strict Anonymization (HIPAA/GDPR Compliance): Never publish Personal Health Information (PHI) such as patient names, un-anonymized photos, full dates of birth, or names on DICOM scans. All cases must be completely anonymized.

5. No Dangerous Advice

It is forbidden to encourage self-treatment of severe conditions or promote methods that deny evidence-based medicine and pose a threat to life.

Privacy Rules

Do not post any personal data other than patient age and gender. Do not post photos of faces unless the patient has explicitly consented.

6. NSFM / Shock Content

Medical images can be graphic. You must use appropriate warnings or NSFW tags for sensitive content (severe injuries, surgical procedures) to prepare others before viewing.

7. Duplicates & Sourcing

Search before posting to avoid duplicate topics. When sharing medical news or external articles, always provide a link to the original source.

8. No Doctor-Patient Relationship

All discussions are for educational purposes only. Providing or receiving advice here does not constitute a formal doctor-patient relationship and cannot replace in-person consultation.

9. AI Disclaimer

Some tools and recommendations (e.g., Symptom Checker, Image Analysis) are AI-generated. They can make mistakes. Always rely on your own clinical judgment.

10. User-Generated Content & IP

All posts and media remain the intellectual property of their authors. AsdocAI claims no ownership over user content. By posting, you grant us a non-exclusive license to display it. AsdocAI is not legally or medically liable for content posted by users, its accuracy, or its distribution.

11. Medical Focus Only (No Off-topic)

This ecosystem is exclusively for healthcare and medicine. Posts or media discussing non-medical topics, sharing personal lifestyle content unrelated to health, or treating this platform like a general social network are not allowed and will lead to a ban.

12. No Politics or Ideology

Discussions about politics, political propaganda, or non-medical ideological debates are strictly forbidden. This is a place for healing and professional discourse, not political arguments.

13. Ranks and Reputation

Your status in the community grows through points for useful activity: Beginner (0 points), Member (50 points - unlocks topic creation), Expert (500 points - expert badge), Mentor (2000 points - advanced privileges). Points are awarded for: completed profile (+15), writing comments (+1), receiving likes (+2), new topics (+5), and «Best Answer» marks (+10).

14. Limitation of Liability and Privacy Breaches

The AsdocAI platform and its owner bear no legal, financial, or moral responsibility for content published by users (doctors or patients). If a user publishes data (even if claimed to be non-personalized) that inadvertently compromises someone's identity or violates medical confidentiality, HIPAA, GDPR, or any other privacy laws, the sole and absolute liability lies entirely with the author of the publication.

15. Moderation and Accountability

Platform administrators have the right to delete or hide content that violates these rules. If your comment has replies or votes, it will be 'soft-deleted' (text replaced with [Deleted by moderator]) to preserve the discussion thread. Regardless of who deletes the post or comment (you or an admin), the reputation points earned for that content will be deducted from your account.

By continuing to use the platform, you agree to abide by these rules.
