Discussion Forum Rules & Terms of Use
We request that every member read, agree to and abide by our Discussion Forum Rules & Terms of Use before using the site. Registration on this site and participation in any Discussion Forum signifies your agreement with the following Rules & Terms of Use.
- Be respectful and courteous
Online discussion forums are like any other organized gathering of people; there are rules of etiquette everyone is expected to follow. We believe in free expression of a variety of viewpoints and critical discussion of all ideas. Your experience is bound only by a set of common sense rules that ask you to be civil and show respect for others in all discussion forums. Any member who displays anything less to other members in any Discussion Forum posting may be removed. Rudeness and lack of respect will not be tolerated. - Discuss, not debate
Participants of this Discussion Forum are here to learn. Too often, debates begin constructively, then turn destructive, so please have discussions, not defensive or argumentative debates. - Do not share your login details.
Do not give your username and password to anyone, ever. Do not use another member’s account to post messages or browse the Forum. Dual logins will cause a 24 hour lockout. - Do not post any copyrighted material that does not have distribution permission of the copyright holder.
