General Rules

1. No Flaming
Flaming is considered anything that is said or done to insult another member. All members are to be treated fairly. If you don’t like a person, then don’t say anything to them. If there is a serious issue that needs to be address please talk to a moderator. If you are caught flaming, then you will get an immediate warning, if flaming is directed toward a staff member you may be a risk for immediate ban.

2. No Cursing
Please be respectful to other members by keeping the language here clean. Remember this is a Christian board and we expect all members to be respectful to each other and since some may find some words offensive we ask that you think twice before posting.

3. No Discrimination
This is similar to flaming, but is not aimed at a particular person or social group, but towards an entire race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, etc. Discrimination is a serious offense and will lead you a warning.

4. No Illegal Discussions
No discussion about illegal materials. No posting of pornographic images or linking to sites which have pornographic images on them. Asking for or offering illegal content will result in immediate ban.

5. No Alternate Accounts
We asked that there be only one account per person. Your IP address is recorded when you sign up and also when you post. Multiple accounts from the same IP will only be allowed in the case of family members sharing a computer.

6. No Impersonation
Simply put do not pretend to be someone you are not. Do not sign up with names that would give people the impression you were an administrator. Do not use other people’s accounts or let other people use your account, this if for your own security purposes.

7. No Plagiarism
Do not steal other people's works and post them on this forum as your own. If you find content you would like to share with us please provide a link with the material of origination.
