Rules of The Forum
Yes, Yes, we must have a set of rules. I really hate rules, but without them we will not be able to keep order. Please understand that there are reason for them.
Please read the rules in their entirety. When you are done reading and believe that this group is still suited to you, please comment that you have read and understand these rules.This is your acknowlegement of said rules. If Admin or Moderators feel that you have broken these rules, you stand to be banned with or without notice. We want this to be a safe place for ALL members. We want you to be able to share and express yourself within reason as well.
1. First and foremost, be respectful to all members.
2. We are all adults and should be able to handle all language. But please keep it to a minimum.
3. Absolutely no calling other names or using words/images to degrade or insult other members.
4. Keep on topic, and in the proper forum. If you are posting about a certain topic, please make sure that you are on the right topic. For example, please do not post about Marijuana in an exercise section.
5. All links to outside vendors MUST be approved by Admin. If you are a vendor of any nature, please talk directly to Admin prior to posting anything about your business.
6. Refrain from giving medical advice. We are NOT doctors. Most of the members will be under a Doctors care. Do not sabotage another persons health because you think you are smarter than their Doctor. We do not read CT Scans, X-rays, MRI's or lab results. You can share what works for you as long as it does not undermine a real Doctors care.
7. Keep all religious posts to the relious sections. No religion will be banned, however not everyone believes the same, and we will not infringe on someone elses religious rights. This does not mean that you cannot say that you will pray for someone, on any post.
8. We will not tolerate extreme or radical religious posts or comments.
9. If you feel like you have a problem with any member, including a moderator please private message another moderator. Be sure that you are able to back up any claims that you have, such as what forum, what post, what comment for the moderator to refer to.
10. Please refrain from making suicidal comments. If you feel that you are struggling with thoughts of Suicide, please get help. Go to the chat box and talk to someone if available. Links are posted on where to get professional help. Please do not put a burden of guilt on another member.
And finally, all rules are subject to change. A memo will be posted if they do. You will need to re-acknowledge any changes.
