Charter and rules.

Nevyn

This forum is for those who are invovled with rearing and parenting newborns and toddlers.
parents, grand parents, extended family ect.

Please remember that there are many different ways and styles of parenting
and if you disagree with someone then agree to disagree and keep things civil as per the rules.



ALWAYS READ THE CHARTER!
The charter contains all the rules and guidelines. The charter may be updated at any time. Make sure you are up to date.
This is a requirement, and ignorance is not an excuse. There are different charters for every forum on Boards.ie, and reading them will prevent any problems.

THIS IS NOT A MEDICAL FORUM.

Do not look for medical advice here, always always check with your medical care provider as for what is best for you and children under your care.


There is no free speech!
-Boards is a privately owned website. You do not have the right to say whatever you want on here.Using common sense is a must.


Advertising
- Topics/posts that contain this will be both edited and locked. Spammers/Shills will be site banned.

Flaming
- Posts containing personal attacks on another user will lead to warnings/infractions and being banned from this forum.


Off Topic
- Posts that stray off topic will be edited/deleted, depending on their relevance to the topic at hand.


Posting in "TxtSpk"
- Please don't do this, enough said.

Personal Abuse
- Posters who abuse others on here will be banned. Permanent bans will be handed out on a first offense if a moderator feels it is warranted. There is no argument on this one. Abuse someone and you will be banned. Calling someone an idiot is abuse. Don't attack the poster, attack the post. Posting PM's publicly without consent could be met with harsh consequences, especially if they do not have any place in the discussion.



Arguing with a moderator
- Do not argue with a moderator in a thread after they have given a warning or a ban etc. If you have an issue with a moderator's action then PM the mod in question. They will discuss it with you. You can then, if unsatisfied with the PM route, take things to the Dispute Resolution Forum.

Reporting Posts
Any thread or post that contravenes the charter or needs to be brought to the attention of a forum moderator should be reported. Please say briefly why you reported this post, and the relevant moderators will consider if the post warrants any further action. All reported posts are recorded, reviewed and considered. Further information on Reporting posts can be found here:
How to Report a Post

It is a good idea to take alter the username from unregistered to something else esp as there could be a few people in the thread posting this way and it can get confusing.

Please remember all unregistered or anon threads and post have to be manually approved by the forum moderators so it may take some time for them to appear. Any unregistered threads or posts which breach the charter of the forum will not be approved.
