We want to provide a free, fun, and open community for Spiritual discussions. However we also must protect our members and staff. The following rules have been adopted, and will be updated as needed, to make everyone's experience positive. We appreciate your understanding and co-operation in keeping Spiritual Forums the premier forum for Spiritual and related discussions! Membership should be seen as a privilege and not a right. Preaching is permitted anywhere on the forum. Anyone preaching will be expected to carry on a discussion, or even a civil debate with other members. Excessive arguing, insulting, intolerance, etc, may result in Warnings being issued. You will not be able to dictate who can and cannot post in any thread you start. Links to other Forums: If you run a forum and want to put a link to it in the Links Directory, your signature, or Links forum , can you provide a link back to www.psy-che.net on your site/directory? Again, if the site sells anything or charges a fee for readings, do not post that link. Links to My Space will not be allowed for the protection of members, as it is known that sexual predators lurk there. We have a duty of care & a responsibility, especially for our younger members who are increasing in number. Respect: Please respect other members beliefs, opinions, and views. Do not post flames, accusations, taunts, or other personal attacks. We will remove posts that degrade, attack, demean, insult, affront or otherwise injure another person or group's beliefs, views, gender, orientation, etc. Discussions and friendly debates are welcome and encouraged but must remain civil. Opinions need be labeled as such, in order to avoid preaching. Please remember that volunteer staff persons are first and foremost members. Repeating this conduct may result in a permanent ban. Language: Please do not use foul or abusive language, as this is a forum for all ages and lifestyles. We reserve the right to edit/remove posts with offensive language. Keep in mind that English is not always the primary language of all our members. Words and phrases, and especially slang, might not mean the same thing in every culture. Be tolerant of a fellow member’s comments, and don’t assume the worst. Repeating this conduct may result in a permanent ban. * Spamming - posts will be deleted without notice if off-topic, inflammatory, pointless, bump, troll, spam, fly-posting or similar comments are made. This conduct may result in a permanent ban. * Multiple Accounts are strictly forbidden! There is no need for more than one account per member. Accounts may be suspended or permanently banned if it is found you are posting using multiple accounts. Multiple Accounts are often used when a member has broken site rules and has been warned, suspended, or banned. * Advertising - this is a free community which is not supported by ads, unlike many other sites. Please respect our service and other members by placing links in the Links Directory or the Member's Links & Websites forum. You may also place reasonable links in your signature. We will remove blatant advertising posts without further notice. Repeating this conduct may result in a permanent ban. Based upon the rules above, Disciplinary Action, known as DA, may need to be taken occasionally. The following will apply to all members on this forum, but in some extreme situations may be shortened. In other words, a member could be banned sooner than outlined below, if their conduct warrants such action. Members my not post concerning Disciplinary Actions taken against themselves or other members. Staff decisions are made by a consensus of the staff, and not by one individual. Members pleading their Disciplinary Action, or that of other members will be subject to further Disciplinary Action. While the rules will be applied equally to every member, every situation is unique and will be decided on its own merits. The staff is bound by the forum rules, just as any member, and has no extra or special rights or privileges. We hope that you understand that even a Spiritual Forum has to have some 'Natural Laws' to keep everything in balance!
