All forums are post moderated; Moderators may alter or remove posts that violate the rules.
1. You certify that you are 13 years of age or over. This is in compliance with the Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act of 2000 (COPPA).
2. Nicknames that we feel are inflammatory, vulgar, promotional, or rude will be removed.
3. The forums are not a venue for commercial advertisements in any way. It will be the sole discretion of SPGUMC and its Moderators as to what constitutes an advertisement. We do not allow anyreview my site posts. It is impossible to deduce which posts are honest requests and which are promotional.
4. Please keep your language clean and decent. This includes personal inflammatory language as well as obscenities.
5. Links to adult content, pages with links to adult content, near adult content (such as model and swimsuit sites), or messages describing anything against the law will be removed as soon as possible. Any discussion of those are off topic.
6. No copyrighted content should be inserted into your posts on the SPGUMC website. Minor fair use excerpts of less than one paragraph (4 sentences) may be used if the content is publically available on the internet. All other forms of inserted content from press releases, newsletters, web pages, or any other copyrighted content placed into messages will be removed without exception. A link to the content is acceptable and appropriate.
7. Keep your personal business as just that - personal. This forum is not a venue for the resolution of personal disputes with members or companies.
8. Please don't drop promotional URLS, signature files, nor specifics that would lead people to your site. Signing your name is fine, however commercialized posts or resume signatures will be edited. We tend to err on the side of caution to protect the integrity of the system. Affiliate based URLs are not allowed anywhere on the system.
9. Personal exposure. Anyone posting another members personal details or web site details without permission will be banned.
10. The moderators are responsible for maintaining the forums. The pastor has final editorial authority in all cases.
