Polylogue Rules The following rules apply to posts in all of the forums of the Polylogue, including the content of “profiles”:
Do not post racist or ‘hateful’ material. The final say will, as always, be the moderators’, but err on the side of caution. This means no racist comments, period. Want to discuss racism in the proper forum? That’s okay. Direct a racist comment at an ethnic group or person? Not okay, and plan to have your account permanently removed without warning if you do so. We are extremely serious about this. freemyheart.com is not a place for racial bigotry or ethnic hatred.
Be civilized, and try to keep posts “clean”. Don’t be hateful or abusive or harass others. Do not start, engage in, or encourage ‘flame wars’. A good general rule: “criticize ideas, not people.” Personal/racial/ethnic/gender-based insults, slurs, or derisive comments will not be tolerated. Yes, you can talk about sex, but try not to be vulgar or obscene. Profanity (in moderation) is okay in general, but directed at someone in particular is generally not. Any language which encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense or violate the rights of others (in the moderator’s opinion) is grounds for account deletion.
If it’s personal, leave it that way. freemyheart.com is not, nor will it ever be a place to come to talk about Me’Shell’s personal life. It’s not a place to come and talk about the dream you had last night about her, nor is it a place to post questions to find out answers about Me’Shell’s love life, etc. If you would prefer to be uncouth and do that, then here is the perfect place for you.
You’re responsible for what you write. Individual authors of Polylogue messages are solely responsible for their content, and freemyheart.com isn’t interested in encouraging any illegal activity. Specifically, don’t solicit to violate copyright law, publish people’s personal information or slanderous statements, or anything else that might violates someone’s privacy. Threats against another person will be taken seriously. We cooperate fully with law enforcement agencies bearing appropriate paperwork.
Keep messages on-topic, and don’t cross-post. Post in the appropriate forum for your topic, and don’t post similar messages in multiple forums.
Moderators have absolute rights. freemyheart.com administrators and moderators reserve the right to edit, relocate and/or remove any message, at any time, for any reason. Consider all editing decisions final. If you don’t agree with a decision, you may discuss it with the moderator who made the judgement in private, but you aren’t ‘entitled’ to a “hearing” or even a response. The rules outlined on this page, above, will be used as moderation guidelines.
Remember that the freemyheart.com Polylogue is moderated by a group of people who have volunteered to put themselves in the position of making difficult judgement calls. Following these guidelines/rules makes their lives easier, and everyone’s experience visiting the Polylogue better. Thank you.
When posting my first message this morning online, I noticed my comment had to be in some sort of "que" first...is that rule for everyone or just people new to the site?
