Our Community Forums
This guide is for the purpose of helping us have a good
Christian environment in this forum so that everyone can share
in a relaxed and welcoming manner.
We require all posts to be polite, constructive, and on topic.
The moderator has the right if they deem a post or part of a
post to be inappropriate to modify or delete that post or topic.
All material posted or uploaded to the forum remains the
property of the original poster and CBF Chicago Forum. The
administrator(s) of this site reserve the right without notice
to access or view all such material (including posts, profile
information, emails sent through the forum software, and
Personal Messages (PMs)), to edit the subject of a post, or to
move, reclassify, or delete any post or other material that is
deemed inappropriate or disruptive, fails to conform to these
forum rules, or to ensure proper indexing and searchability.
Please note that, from time to time, topics may be removed for
being inappropriate even though your individual post in that
topic may have been perfectly fine. Please do not feel this
reflects badly on you.
Having fun is good. Please keep it positive and polite. We may
take action against posts and/or topics that could cause unrest
in the community.
You may not make personal attacks on other users or staff
members either in public forums or private messages.
You may not use profanity. It is unprofessional and offensive
and will not be tolerated.
You may not advertise or promote other companies or their
products or "spam" the forums.
We reserve the right to ban any member who violates our
guidelines or disrupts our community. We will be fair and
provide warning in most cases.
If you have an issue, please use a personal contact method such
as a private message or email. We take serious complaints to
heart and will do our best to address them.
The Golden Rules:
[list type=decimal]
[li]There will be no profanity or foul language. Any un-called
for language will be removed and you will receive a final
warning.[/li]
[li]There will be no racial, ethnic, gender based insults or any
other personal discriminations.[/li]
[li]There will be no posts meant to offend or hurt any other
member, in a manner which is offensive or inflammatory.[/li]
[li]Spamming is not permitted; please keep all your posts as
constructive as possible.[/li]
[li]Pornography, warez, or any other illegal transactions may
NOT be linked in any shape or form.[/li]
[li]Users may not argue a moderators decision publicly. Any and
all complaints directed at a moderator must first address the
moderator in question via PM.[/li]
[li]Pictures may be posted as long as they are not explicit or
offensive. If you plan to post more than one image, or the topic
is based on graphics, please link the images rather than
screening.[/li]
[li]Signatures may contain images, but may not be any larger
than 300x100; 468x60 banners are also permitted (within reason).
If your signature is larger than the allotted size given or
deemed unacceptable, you will be requested to resize or change
your image. Please also try and keep text signatures under 5
lines. Failing to comply with a moderator's request will result
in the removal of your signature.[/li]
[li]Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to
look at other topics and see where your topic should go. If your
topic is placed in the wrong forum, it will be moved by a
moderator.[/li]
[li]If a topic is recognized as being posted in the wrong forum,
or if the post is a violation of our guidelines then please
contact a moderator either via PM or the 'report post to
moderator' feature; please do not respond publicly to the
member.[/li]
[li]Any impersonation of a user within these forums, in any mode
of communication, is strictly prohibited and will result in a
banning.[/li]
[li]Linked and locked topics may be pruned regularly to reduce
page clutter. If you have a question about where your topic
went, please PM an Administrator before starting a new topic
asking where it went, or posting a duplicate of the original
topic. We will be happy to provide you with a link to the new
location, or a reason why it was locked and/or removed.[/li]
[li]If you are linking to external content, you should link
directly to that content. It is unacceptable to use link-thru
systems to mask the originating URL, and cases where this is
found to be happening may be edited or removed as
appropriate.[/li]
[/list]
Violation of any of these rules will result in consequences
determined on a case-by-case basis.
Let's all remember that even online we are still members of the
body of Christ and conduct ourselves the same here as we would
face to face. Also remember that everything posted here is
visible to anyone with a computer, so present yourself in a
manner worthy of the gospel.
God Bless
