Forum Etiquette
Posted: Tue Aug 27, 2013 1:03 pm
The Moderation Team would like to remind the membership of one of the most important aspects of our Terms of Service:
"Family friendly, always--meaning appropriate for young audiences--even when posting external links!"
It has been brought to our attention that some recent posts have not been entirely appropriate for children. We do have young members, even if they may not post often, and we know that the children of some members may read posts on the forum. In addition, this is an open forum, anyone with access to the internet (including very young children) can read our posts. We also have members from many diverse cultures. What is silly joking to some can be offensive to others, especially those from more restrictive cultures.
As a matter of courtesy, and in accordance with our TOS, the best way to banter with other members in the borderline range of conversations is via PM. When posting, please keep in mind that adult subjects and language are not family friendly. Thanks for your help in keeping this forum available to everyone.
