Hello everyone. I would like to think that there is no need to add a
Rules forum; however I am not that naive, & as the group grows there
may be members who do not realize what is considered appropriate in
my group. So here is a basic set of rules for functioning in the group.
There aren't many, however I take them very seriously. Hopefully, none
of them will ever need to be enforced; as I feel our group members
hold a certain level of quality. (Translation: You all seem to be
wonderful people & we will hopefully continue to attract such people.)
1) First & foremost, this is a group for learning, discussing &
sharing ideas. I WILL NOT TOLERATE ANY SLINGING OF INSULTS OR
BELITTLING OF ANY KIND. I have come across plenty of this in other
groups & do not want the negative energy of such activities associated
with my group.
2) Those of other paths (Christian, Buddhist, Wiccan, etc.) are
perfectly welcome to join & learn with us.
3) If any member of the group has a group/website of their own (so long as it is of an appropriate nature), feel
free to advertise. (And don't forget to post a
link in the Links section of the website! You can access the websites Link page here.)
NOTE: If your site is of an adult nature, do not advertise it here or on the main website. Both this discussion forum & the main website are accessible to all-ages groups, therefore I feel that it would be inappropriate.
4) This forum (as well as the main website) is for all ages. As such, I will not permit anything
sexually explicit & cussing must be limited. We do have a word censor system here that should cover any cussing that does occur. However the Administrative team feels that cussing does not make for polite, intelligent, or mature conversation in most cases. Therefore we reserve the right to take disciplinary action should we feel that the censor system is being abused. Basically, if your post is full of asterisks you'll be hearing from us.
5) In regards to fanfiction on the site...The above rules also apply to fanfiction, NO sexual content & cussing should be limited.
6) NO SPAMMERS!
7) In regards to signature graphics......For regular members they cannot exceed 700x200 in size - only staff members may have larger graphics. Also they cannot be animated, as animated siggies make the site painfully slow for members with a dial-up connection.
8) THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE! Relax & have fun! I want everyone here to
be comfortable & to feel welcome.
If anyone has any questions or problems feel free to contact me or our Moderator, Brandybuck, personally. We will do our best to help.
Sincerely,
Laurasia
