The BC Rural Women's Network Community Message Boards are a private forum created to establish a safe place for communication within the Community of BC Rural Women.

Our boards are moderated to help us achieve this goal and we ask that everyone respect the following rules:

1. Add something real to the mix. In most areas, one-liners and "me too" statements aren't enough to really get a conversation going. Longer, more substantial posts give others more of a sense of who you are and where you're coming from.

2. Don't be a bigot. Slanderous, defamatory, violent, abusive, insulting, threatening or harassing comments directed at individuals or groups of people are not tolerated.

3. Don't spam us. Advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes and other solicitations will be deleted. Period.

4. Don't spam our members. Contacting a member privately without their express permission is inappropriate. (Instead, ask their permission by posting your request on the boards.) Don't email our members without their public permission. (Please understand that, by providing your email address when you register, you are giving the BC Rural Women's Network administrators and moderators permission to contact you via email in order to administer this message board, but they will not share your information with others.)

5. Stay with the subject at hand. It's not cool to throw an established conversation off-topic, but you can create a new topic if you like.

6. Keep it clean. Our boards are about building community. Sexually inappropriate messages will be deleted.

Consequences:

Folks who violate our rules may lose their posting privileges. Inappropriate posts can be removed by our moderators/admins. We will work to keep the conversation going smoothly, but we can't be everywhere at once, so please let us know if there's a problem with a member abusing their posting privileges - report the post by clicking on "Report" just to the top right of the post.

As moderators and admins, we never like to have to handle a situation or reprimand a member, but some times things can get a bit out of hand or off-track -- and it is necessary. We'll try to be discreet with the first warning, because we know everyone can make mistakes.

Here's what to expect if you don't follow our community guidelines:  

First Time: A moderator or admin will send you a private message and let you know what's up. We'll explain why what you wrote was not cool and ask you not to do it again. We'll encourage you to make a public post correcting the problem. In most cases, we will not publicly post regarding the warning. (There will be times where it will be necessary that we intervene publicly, but only in extreme cases.)

Second Time: A moderator or admin will send you a private message warning you a second time, and this time we will make a public post letting the other members know it has been taken care of.

Third Time: We don't give third warnings. If you have not figured out how to be a positive member of this Community by the third warning, it is probably time to find another Website to hang out at. Members who require a third warning will no longer be able to post on our Community forums.

You can pitch in, too!
- If you see a topic being derailed, don't participate by continuing the off-topic discussion. Instead, get back to the subject at hand.

- If you see a post that seems to go against our community guidelines please use the "Report" link at the top right of every post on this forum. This will send an alert to the moderator of that forum, and she'll have a look and somehow respond to the situation. That's what our moderators are here for.

Have fun and enjoy!
