Community Guidelines

1. Be respectful of others.  Our community aims to be supportive and non-threatening, please do your part.

2. Posts should not contain material that is threatening, defamatory, abusive, obscene, sexually explicit, pornographic, illegal, or any material that would give rise to any civil or criminal liability under applicable law.  Do not post any materials containing slurs, hate speech or which attack an individual or group on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, or sexual preferences.

3. Keep threads  true to their origin.  Start new threads for topics that diverge from the original discussion.

4. Threads over 30 pages in length will be restarted.  Older threads will be destickyed and kept in their forums for members to view.  Our goal in restarting threads is to keep them fresh and inviting to all members.  Any exceptions to this rule will be at the moderator's discretion.
