General Forum Rules:
These rules apply to all Forum categories.

* We take the "Be Polite" rule very seriously. We do not tolerate any rudeness. Any member who is intentionally unpleasant or disruptive may be banned without warning.
* If you SPAM our members in any manner, your account will be disabled. Do not contact anyone to suggest your product or service.
* Your account is yours alone. You are responsible for any activity created with it. You may not share your account login with anyone. If you choose to ignore this important restriction your account, and any accounts associated with it, will be disabled.
* All publicly displayed messages are limited to the English language. This includes posts, titles, signatures, and any attachments or other forms of public display.
* Signature Spam (a post that was made in hopes of showing a signature, as determined by moderators) is forbidden in all forum categories.
* You may not post commission, referral or affiliate links anywhere on the forum.
* Cross-Posting is not allowed here. Cross-posting refers to posting new duplicate threads or posts, or the linking to threads or posts already started by the member with the intention of gaining exposure.
* You may not compensate anyone for any review or recommendation. Further, you may not suggest a tone (i.e. "Go say good things about us on home-schooler.com").
* You may not post on behalf of any banned member in any public manner. This includes all forums, private messages, signatures, and e-mail features.
* You may not post words or URLs that are censored by adding spaces, dots, or substituting characters; or by any other means in an attempt to defeat any censors put in place. Please contact us if you feel a word or URL is unjustly censored.
* You may not link, in any manner, to sites or images containing pornography, sexually explicit, gross violence, or are determined by moderators to be detrimental to the community.
* You may not "bump" threads. Bumping can refer to posting useless information, posting one-liners or any other action to deliberately keep a thread hot or to bring it to the top of its forum. Moderators will use their discretion, depending on the nature of the post, as to whether to take action or not.
* You may not use discussions to recommend, praise, or belittle other products or services, or any company; without first-hand experience of those products or services. This includes companies recommending other companies. Any post not meeting a moderator's criteria will be removed without notice.
* Any posts that encourage illegal intent will be removed and the account disabled.
* Public posts debating these rules and/or moderators' enforcement of such, will be removed without comment. We encourage feedback, however, and invite you to contact us via the Contact page if you have any questions or concerns.
* You may not publish or discuss any information regarding your product or services, or future (possible) products or services, or any product or services you are, or have been, associated with. This includes, but not limited to suggesting your own services, or services of partners, clients, employers or friends. The Classified Ads section is for advertising, including the Services section.
* You may not post any message that is commercial by nature.
* You may not post any message that directs others to any pages at your own commercial domain, including informational pages. A commercial domain is defined as a site that receives any type of income or links to any income producing properties.
* You may not direct others to contact you, other than to use the "Whisper your comments to" feature, which is like Private Messaging (PMs) on other forums.
* You may not solicit the membership for feedback or suggestions on your product or services.
* You may not solicit users for any project or purpose external to the forum; public, private, or commercial. Most importantly our member base is not a resource to be "mined" by individuals, groups, or businesses, for profit or not for profit.
* You may only discuss details about your company and/or product offerings when the thread starter or poster has made direct reference to your company and stated something untrue or misleading, or something which clearly needs clarifying. The response must be in direct reference to the point discussed only and contain no added promotional information and/or fluff. It is advisable when in the above scenario to contact us first.
