Heuweloord Community Forum Guidelines

We take pride in keeping our message boards respectful, pleasant, and enjoyable for members of all ages. Please read the following guidelines before posting.

This Online Platform does not represent:

• Any Political Organisation
• Any Religious Group or Belief
• Any Specific Race
• Any Specific Gender

This Online Platform is representative of the Community as a whole.

Any promotion of the above points will not be tolerated on this Online Portal.

Language and Trolling.

Our community is family-friendly. There are young users and language should be kept within a PG- level. Vulgar language is not allowed. This constitutes the use of any kind of offensive, discriminatory, or otherwise inappropriate material deemed unsafe for younger members. Inappropriate language will potentially be removed and users will be warned.
Do not post provocative, outrageous, or pointless messages only to get a response from others, i.e. “trolling.” Repeat violators will be permanently banned.

Lastly, if it is abundantly clear that a user has no intention of positively contributing to community discussions, combined with an abrasive, combative attitude, they will be banned. Users must demonstrate an interest in contributing to community discussions, as this is a community site after all. In other words, users who wish to do nothing but argue politics or other non-community issues are not welcome.

Personal Attacks.

In order to maintain a positive atmosphere, no personal attacks or insults will be tolerated. While discussions may become heated, it is not an excuse to result to attacks or insults. There is a difference between a passionate, respectful discussion and one that delves into personal matters.
Think of it as debating issues, not individuals. When the line is crossed, the discussion may be closed by the moderation team. Violators will be warned and potentially banned.

Moderators and Administrators Have the Final Word

If you have a problem or a complaint, direct it to the administrators and/or moderators, not to the boards. The appropriate actions will be taken. We reserve the right to ban flagrant offenders when deemed necessary, with or without prior warning.

Cross-Posting.

If you have something to post and you’re not sure which board it belongs in, do not post it in more than one board. If the administrators or moderators think it would fit better in another location, it will be moved there. Duplicate threads only serve to create confusion.

Signature Rules.

A typical signature contains the poster’s name, e-mail address, website, and a favorite quote or saying. Excessive font size is not allowed. Anyone abusing this privilege will be warned and then have their signature removed until they acknowledge this guideline.

Multiple Accounts per Individual is Not Permitted

If you forget your password, use the password recovery tool, in which case you will be able to reset your password, given that you have access to the e-mail associated with your account. If you are still unable to login, contact the administrator.

Again, please follow the above guidelines when posting on our message boards. If you have any questions, please contact us. Above all, remember to have fun!
