General Guidelines for Posting

RESPECT: Always be respectful of each other and please follow the basic rules of “Netiquette”. Open discussions of varying points of view are encouraged but only if they remain constructive and not inflammatory. Flaming or personal attacks are not allowed or tolerated. Anyone using/posting inappropriate content, language, or being disruptive to the community's positive environment may be barred from all further discussions and/or the ICASC blogs completely.

NO EXPLICIT/INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT: We will not allow the posting of pornographic material. This includes any sexually provocative imagery, links to a source, or encouragement to access them. We have the same policy with regard to discussing illegal activities. Links to adult content, pages with links to adult content, or messages describing anything inconsistent with the ICASC community blog guidelines will be removed. Although we make every effort to remove offensive content as soon as it is posted, it is impossible for us to monitor every post. Please report offensive or questionable content to the moderator.

STAY ON TOPIC: Please keep thread discussions on topic, and within the subject of the blog. Please do not “hijack” or “bump” the thread to gain additional exposure to a post or yourself. Cross-posting within other blogs and threads is also not encouraged.

NO SPAMMING: Content that is posted for the sole-purpose of unrelated promotion, advertising (products or services), flaming, or trolling are inappropriate to this community and will not be tolerated.

OBSERVE COPYRIGHT LAWS: Do not post copyrighted material written by others without proper acknowledgement of the sources.

ICASC reserves the right to change or alter these rules at any time. If we find that you break any of these rules, your member account may be disabled and your posting privileges removed.

We appreciate your cooperation in observing these basic guidelines.
