THE RULES
Keep it organized. You can nest responses by using “reply in thread”; so that equipment requests and conversation topics stay separated.
Stay on Topic. Limit conversation to the topic of the channel. If the channel is for subrentals, it should be just requests and responses. For example, someone might post “Looking for Signature Zoom 16-32 mm. Preps 6/4, shoots 6/5-6/6, returns Friday 6/6. email me a name@rentalcompany.com." Someone who has the gear responds with a short “We’ve got it!” or even just a check mark or raised hand emoji for example. Then the parties reach out by phone or email to discuss terms.
Don't talk money. Pricing conversations must be taken elsewhere. For antitrust purposes, they must be held privately, and must not be held on the app. All discussions on Slack will be limited to those subjects that are permitted by the antitrust laws. Prohibited topics include prices charged, employee salaries, marketing plans and strategies, and current or future costs. Violations of the antitrust laws can have serious consequences for you and for our trade organization.
No ads, except on the designated channel. Manufacturers and dealers are welcome to participate in the tech channels providing information but are not permitted to use those channels for sales. We reserve a separate channel for announcements about products and events called news_camera-lenses and news_lighting-grip.
