Because of the online nature of this platform, it is impossible to guarantee that we're not going to encounter a bad apple once in a while.  We have tried to put as many security measures in place as possible, including banning certain keywords and topics, but there will always be a few things that slip through the cracks.  Please understand that we will do our best to monitor and remove any postings in violation of the rules, and that you can help by using the “report to moderator” button underneath the post to make sure it is brought to our attention.

To follow are some basic rules and guidelines for using this forum.  If you have any questions about them, please either reply to this post or send us an email.

Finally, I want to make it clear that this is a privately owned and operated website and I have full and complete editorial jurisdiction over what gets posted here.  I will be vigilant in enforcing not only the above rules and guidelines but also in removing any posts that I do not feel are in keeping with the spirit or good will of the site. 

This is not an “open” forum, and Freedom of Speech issues don't apply here.  I can delete posts or ban members for any reason, and will absolutely do so based on my sole discretion.

Enjoy the site, and always keep in mind this rule of thumb: Keep it positive, keep it helpful, keep it respectful and keep it clean, or keep it off my site!
