-Don't make posts that are inflammatory just to get people riled up.
-Attack the message, not the messenger. Criticize ideas, not people. Attacks will not be tolerated. No member is allowed to engage in public personal attacks on any other member. Personal attacks are defined as Personal, Racial, Ethnic, and/or Gender based insults, slurs, or derisive comments. All complaints need to be communicated privately using either PM, "Report this Post" feature and/or EMail.
In the event of this, the offending post will be edited or removed, and the offending party shall receive no more than two (2) private warnings via PM and/or EMail, and one final Administration warning.
If the behavior continues, the member will be banned for a week, and upon a repeat incident, banned permanently. All we want is a little community kindness and no attacks. Let's all work together to accomplish this, eh?
-No pornographic, sexually offensive, sexually explicit, or objectifying material. _Simple rule. We'd like for our readers to be able to visit the site at work and share with friends without fear of retribution.
-Post in the right forum! If it's a question about horses, post it in the Horse Tips section. Even if it's only humor, an observation, or angst, if it's about something that we have a forum for, post it there. Resist the temptation to post something off-topic because you think you'll get "better responses" in a particular forum.
-Respect the privacy of others. Do not post other's phone numbers, addresses, pictures, etc., without their permission.
-NO SPAMMING.
- No commercial-oriented (business or group posts and no posting of selling an item. Save the items for sale for the group - www.facebook.com/groups/265367023505837/ - any post found selling an item or animal will be removed.
-Use descriptive subject lines and research your post. This reduces the chances of double-posting, and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Also, scan the subjects of the last several days' posts to make sure you aren't duplicating posts. Also, consider what forum your topic should be posted in.
-Restrict the use of excessive foul language. Swearing will not be tolerated on this board at all. Because of the fact that it is a family-oriented site, we need to keep it clean. We aren't saying you can't express your opinion, but there are ways to do so without swearing.
If you have any questions, please feel free to post a question in this section. We'll respond as soon as we can and post the resolution.
