Moms View Message Board: POSTING GUIDELINES: LIMITS ON DISCUSSION PERTAINING TO RELIGION, SPIRITUALITY AND POLITICS: Because experience has shown that discussions pertaining to these subjects can become potentially emotional and volatile topics, we have implemented some guidelines to help assure consideration for all members of the board and to keep Momsview a comfortable, peaceful and relaxing place for everyone to enjoy. Please remember that Momsview is a worldwide community composed of members of various faiths, beliefs and political backgrounds. We have specific guidelines in place pertaining to these topics of discussion. Your registration indicates that you have read and agree to the guidelines, which are located here: Religious, Spiritual and Political Discussion Limits Debates on "hot" or sensitive issues, including religious and political issues, are limited to The Kitchen Table, a board maintained for the purpose of debate. Anonymous posting is not allowed on the debate board. The rules about courtesy and sensitivity to other's beliefs and their posts are strictly enforced - very strictly. If you cannot debate courteously, do not post on a topic on The Kitchen Table. Every so often the "freedom of speech" comes up in defense of offensive remarks or topics. Do to the fact that this board is a PRIVATELY OWNED board, the administrators/moderators reserve the right to edit all post at their discretion and if a remark or topic is deemed an "hot" topic the posting will be removed. Members who repeatedly flame or post insulting remarks, use derogatory names for any person or group, or otherwise violate this guideline will have their posting privileges revoked. RELIGION/SPIRITUALITY: Religion is a very important part of many people’s lives, and a deeply personal and often very sensitive issue. Because experience has shown that discussions pertaining to religion and faith subjects can become potentially emotional and volatile, we have implemented some guidelines to help assure consideration for all members of the board and to keep Momsview a comfortable, peaceful and relaxing place for everyone to enjoy. Please remember that Momsview is a worldwide community composed of members of various faiths, beliefs and political backgrounds. You may post on religious matters, providing that you adhere to the guidelines. Posts which do not adhere to the guidelines will be removed. Repeat offenses will result in revocation of posting privileges. 1. You may not evangelize, solicit, or otherwise seek to persuade people to believe as you believe or to follow religious rules that you follow. 2. You may not in any way insult or denigrate another religion or in any way say or imply that another faith system or another person’s beliefs are in any way inferior to yours or that yours are superior to theirs. 3. You may not use your religious beliefs to say or imply that another person’s life-style, gender identity, or relationships are wrong. They may be wrong by your beliefs, but that does not give you the right to insult others. 4. You may mention a faith or religion related matter on the general boards if it is relevant to the topic of a post or thread. A prayer board is maintained for seeking members’ prayers on behalf of an individual or group. Discussion about religious beliefs or religious rules should be posted on The Kitchen Table (the debate board), and the rules of the debate board apply. POLITICS: As with religion, politics and political matters are sensitive issues. In general, such posts are to be made on The Kitchen Table (the debate board). Momsview encourages a healthy discussion of political matters, with the following rules, which are strictly enforced: You may NOT insult or put down any political party or organization, or a supporter of a political candidate or organization. You may present your reasons for voting for a particular candidate or party, courteously. You are encouraged to refer to political figures in courteous terms (i.e., whether you like the President or not, he is still the President of the United States and should be referred to courteously). Because experience has shown that discussions pertaining to politics can, like discussions pertaining to religion, become potentially emotional and volatile, we have implemented some guidelines to help assure consideration for all members of the board and to keep Momsview a comfortable, peaceful and relaxing place for everyone to enjoy. Posts violating these rules will be removed. Repeated offenses will result in the revocation of posting privileges. |
