They're pretty simple but unfortunately some people need to be told:

1) Only upload and post content that you have the rights to distribute. Please do not post full articles, etc from other sites. Instead, summarize in your own words and post a link.

2) Absolutely no personal attacks, violent/hateful/discriminating language, or baiting. Baiting means doing things on purpose to piss other people off even if you are not using bad words or attacking. These apply to people who are not on the boards either, so saying "My teaching is a f'n asshole" is not gonna fly. Try to state your opinions without using emotionally charged language.

3) Follow the guidelines posted in each individual forum. Not doing so could mean you are removed from the forums.

4) No advertising posts except in the relevant forums. This includes veiled advertising.

5) Uploaded pictures can not be sexually explicit. Moderators will have the final say on nude or implied nude photos. Generally speaking a woman breastfeeding is no problem but a girl topless on the beach might be -- probably will be.

6) Swear words are allowed if they are being used in a non-violent context. "holy shit that's awesome!" "abso-fucking-lutely" "Fuck girl that dress is amazing!" -- All okay. As long as you are not being hurtful towards other people, we'll leave it up to you to decide how you want to represent yourself in a community of your peers.
