Rules

[Jade]

Here you'll find all the rules.


General Rules
-Swearing. Try to keep foul language to a minimum. As this group is for all ages, please keep the swearing to a minimum.

-Please try to use proper grammar and spelling as often as possible. Don't use text talk. It's hard to read and can be annoying.

-Be respectful to everyone because everyone has their own opinion. Disagreeing is fine but don't use offensive language or get into fights. Disagreements and differences of opinion are fine and welcome, as long as they do not descend to personal attacks. All the common-sense limitations apply: no name-calling, and no hate speech that singles out racial, religious, ethnic, sexual/gender, sexual orientation, or political groups, no insults.

-No Conflicts. No being bitter to another member or making comments that can, in any way offend another member.

-No Spam. Please No spam. Spamming is posting multiple posts that state the same thing over and over, or making posts that have no bearing on what this is group is about. Any spam around the group will be deleted.
