Forum rules

1. Posts are to be made in the relevant forum. Users are asked to read the forum descriptions before posting. Users consistently posting to the wrong forum may be given a warning (see policing below).

2. Members should post in a way that is respectful of other users. Flaming or abusing users in any way will not be tolerated and will lead to a warning.

3. Members are asked to not act as “back seat moderators”. If members note an issue which contravenes something in this policy document they are welcome to bring it to the attention of a member of the Moderator Team. Please use the “post report” feature to report posts. Do not respond to such topics yourself. Members who constantly “act” as moderators may be warned.

4. Members should remember this board is aimed at a general audience and is about natural fertility. Posting pornographic or generally offensive text, images, links, etc. will not be tolerated and will lead to a warning.

5. Members are asked to respect the copyright of other users, sites, media, etc.

6. Members should respect the bandwidth of other users and sites. The use of inline () image tags pointing to data stored on third party systems for which the user has not received permission to link to may be removed.

7. Members should post in a way which is consistent with "normal writing". That is users should not post excessive numbers of emoticons, large, small or colored text, etc. Similarly users should not SHOUT or use excessive punctuation (e.g. ! and ?) in topic titles or posts. Users consistently abusing this will be warned.

8. Members should use an appropriate, descriptive title when posting a new topic. Examples of bad titles include; "Help me!", "I'm stuck!", "This sucks", etc. Examples of good titles include; "Endometriosis and Maca", "how to tell if I am ovulating", etc.

9. Members are welcome to use the test forum for general "test purposes". These may include checking signatures, testing a link or image, etc.

10. Spam is not tolerated here under any circumstance. This includes offering fertility services (charged and free), products, solicitation etc. Users posting spam will be warned and their post removed.

11. Members are asked to not disclose to any 3rd party, board, or list any vulnerabilities in the forum before first notifying the developers. You should submit all finds to our moderators. Time should be allowed for us, at least 3 working days wherever possible, to respond.

12. The moderating teams reserve the right to edit, remove or put on moderation queue any post at any time. Please note that currently any very first post is automatically placed in the moderation queue and will be approved/disapproved according to the present Rules. The determination of what is construed as indecent, vulgar, spam, etc. as noted in these points is up to moderators and not users.

13. The above forum rules where applicable also apply to private messaging. Abuse of the private messaging system may lead to warnings (as above) and/or the revocation of private messaging.

14. Posts are an integral part of the discussion threads of this community and you may not delete your posts. Though you are free to edit your posts, please contact a moderator or administrator for assistance rather than deleting posts.

Signatures

1. Signatures may contain up to two lines of text (of small or normal size).

2. Text sizes should be between 75% and 100% (small and normal). Text in signatures is subject to the same conditions as posts with respect decency, warez, emoticons, and so forth.

3. Links in signatures are permitted to a maximum of one unique, non-commercial, pages or sites. Forum moderators are allowed additional links to aid in rendering support for the forum. Linked sites may not be commercial in nature. You may not link to porn or political, racist or other similar hate sites. Links are included in signature size limits.

4. Users abusing these rules will be warned.

Avatars

1. Users are permitted to utilize a gallery avatar or to link to one of their own (subject to previous points on misuse of bandwidth). User defined avatars are to be no larger than 120 pixels square, contain no animation, contain no image which attempts to portray the user as having an official status here (e.g. mimicking ranks or copying avatars of moderators), may not exceed 12KiB (12288 Bytes) in filesize and have a consistently high availability (i.e. links to images on slow servers or those prone to failure may be removed).

2. Avatars are subject to the same conditions as posts with respect decency, and so forth.

3. Users abusing these rules will be warned and/or may lose their avatar privileges

Policing

1. The Natural Fertility Forum operates a three strike policy. Users will be warned a maximum of three times for any and all offenses. If the need arises for a fourth warning a ban will be put in place.

2. Arguing with moderators after having received a warning will lead to an additional warning. Should this exceed three strikes a temporary ban will be put in place as above.

3. An exception to the three strike rule applies when users contact moderators personally (via any method) and post insulting, indecent or vulgar material. Such users may be subject to an immediate permanent ban.

4. Permanent bans are a last resort and thought is given before implementing them.


* We reserve the right to delete any message or to remove the registration and membership of any individual at any time.
