I COMBINED THE TWO THREADS THAT CONTAIN OUR GUIDELINES. THIS IS WHAT I CAME UP WITH.
COMMENTS? ADDITIONS? DELETIONS? ALTERATIONS?
After much consideration and discussion, Conservatives For Freedom has worked out an official forum guideline, to help posters know what is appropriate on our forum, and what will not be tolerated.
Official Expectations:
No Explicit sexual content. Do not post nude pictures, or post comments regarding physical sex actions. Debating sexual manners are fine, so long as they do not go into innuendo, propositioning, or sharing actual experiences.
No Racial Slurs for the purpose of insulting people based on race. There is a fine line between discussing race and insulting race. However, calling someone a "Frog" or "Limey" may not be racist depending on the useage, since it's nationalism, not racism. Also, saying we should nuke those Muslim terrorists is not necessarily racist, either, as it's religion, not race. We do not condone discrimination, but will allow reasonable commentary. Anti-racism mostly applies to using racist words against people on the forum. No calling your fellow posters the N word, or calling them "gooks," etc...
No Excessive Vulgarity. Keep your comments as civil as possible, and avoid curse words. Our filter is on, but not everything is banned. Please keep your language civilized. The use of vulgar, obscene or deragatory language will not be tolerated, and that includes the taking of a user name that insults or denigrates another poster.
Try not to post outside the appropriate forum for your topic. The General forum is good for discussion, debate, or even advertising things for sale, but it is not appropriate for personal disputes or advertising another forum. If you have a gripe with someone and want to air it out on pubic forum, do so (in a civil manner) in the Grudge Match. Advertise other forums in Conservative Links Extravaganza.
No personal abuse of another poster. It is wrong to abuse another poster against their will. Avoid personal insults, and do not willfully abuse others on the forum. If you are being personally attacked, contact a Mod/Admin with a link to the offending post, and we will take appropriate action.
We accept posters who use more than 1 account. However, we request that you inform an Administrator of any second, third, etc... account you wish to post with. Do not use other accounts to abuse other posters. No one may post at CFF with more than one user name without the express permission of a moderator or board administrator. If a poster is discovered to be using more than one user name without permission, the consequence will be swift and irrevocable.
Of course, interpretation of these guidelines and application to any particular situation is at the sole discretion of the Mods/Admins.
