Forum statute

Subject: Forum statute Thu Apr 18, 2013 4:33 pm

In order to have a very peaceful and quiet time here, as also to avoid some situations that appeared in other forums, we established some rules easy to follow and to respect.

NOTE: Please READ the entire article before posting something that could affect/abuse/ insult/ others members from this forum by topics which are related to
RELIGION, NATIONALITY, COLOR SKIN, RACE or any other subject that could offend the members!!!!!

The posts which are considered insulting - will be deleted by the Admins!

However, here are some easy steps to follow:

1. No use of explicit, obscene or vulgar language or images and/or posts, including racist remarks.

2. No posts that attack, insult, "flame", defame, or abuse members. Respect other members of the community and don’t belittle, make fun off, or insult another member. "Flaming" and insults, however, will not be tolerated. Agree to disagree.

3. No use of multiple usernames. Posting under multiple user accounts will result in administrative action (ie. banning).

4. If it shouldn’t be viewed by minors, then it shouldn’t be posted to this forum. This is a public, family-friendly forum. In addition, if something would not be considered “work safe” (to a boss or co-worker), then it shouldn’t be posted.

5. Do not disrespect the admins and the moderators. They are VOLUNTEERS that donate many, many hours of their own time to help in the forum. Violations of this rule will not be tolerated.

6. No SHOUTING. Remember, using ALL CAPITAL LETTERS in posts is considered yelling and rude, plus it is difficult to read.

7. Do not post personal contact information (ie. your home address, phone numbers etc.) and do not ask for personal information from others.

8. No duplicate posts. If you want to point something important it is enough to post it once with a warning in the beginning (Read!/ Very important!/ SOS/ Alert/).

9. Ignore bothersome members. If there is someone on the forum that bothers you, report immediately to admins or moderators.

10. Report posts that violate the rules and guidelines by sending to the Admins PM.
We will act on the report as quickly as we can. Do not reply to the offending post as that typically only encourages the poster.

11. Lend a helping hand. A bit of compassion can go a long way toward helping people with life's challenges and reaching out can help alleviate feelings of loneliness. We're all different, but we're really all the same. At sometime or another, we all need or want help or simply someone with whom we can share our burdens or successes.

12. Don't be afraid to share. If you're feeling alone or hurt, don't be afraid to share your fears and tears.

13. Welcome new members. When newcomers arrive, say "hi" and welcome them. Think how wonderful is to enter somewhere and people welcome you with a warm smile and a friendly look! Sounds awesome, right?

14. The official language of the forum is English as an international language. However, if you post something in your language, please add also the translation in English (this will make the other members feel that they belong to this community and will help them understand your words). Beside this, you can get easily a feedback if people understand what you post on the forum.

15. This forum IS NOT a dating/ matrimonial/ flirting forum!
Therefore DO NOT ask on the forum for add requests from members, phone numbers, e-mails or any other personal info from the members!

Please Remember:
Members that do not abide by the rules may be subject to having their posts edited or deleted, their membership permanently banned from further access and/or deleted without notice.

Rules and guidelines may change at any time, please re-read them regularly.
