Please note that the following are the published rules and guidelines for EmergencyPreparationForum.com.

We reserve the right to remove any post or user from our message boards — although we have no duty to do so. When posts are deleted, it’s usually because they violate one or more of our forum rules. Repeated violation of these rules may result in the suspension or termination of your posting privileges.

Specific Forum Rules:

1. We don’t allow obscene, racist or sexually explicit language. Personal attacks are not permitted. We reserve the right to remove posts that are abusive, hateful, or defame or insult anyone.

2. We reserve the right to move posts that are off-topic or posted to the wrong forum. We also reserve the right to remove any non-English posts.

3. We encourage lively discussion and debate but remember that disagreeing with an idea is different from attacking an individual. In that spirit, do not post messages that contain personal attacks against other individual. It is illegal to harass or threaten anyone. We take threats, harassment and stalking very seriously. Posts that might be construed as such may be deleted and made available to the proper law enforcement officials.

4. Solicitations and advertisements for a user's own benefit are allowed, but in a user's signature only. This includes advertisements for your business or your own online endeavors.

5. You may link to other informational Web sites when relevant to the discussion, including links to commercial sites when the sites in question are pertinent to the topic being discussed.

6. You may not suggest or encourage illegal activity.

7. Choose a username carefully. You may not use names that are offensive, that suggest illegal activities or that are meant to imitate other users. Any such names will be blocked from posting on our message boards.

8. You must respect the privacy of individuals. This means no posting of phone numbers, addresses, social security numbers or any other private information. We discourage users from posting such information even about themselves, as we cannot control how that information may be used beyond our message boards.

9. Good manners online means that you don’t post the same note more than once. The online word for posting many times on one topic is “spamming.” We don’t allow it.

10. You participate at your own risk on the bulletin boards. You take responsibility for postings under your username and use the information provided here at your own risk. EmergencyPreparationForum.com takes no responsibility for the content or opinions posted here.

Please keep these rules in mind as you use this forum. Thanks for your participation as we continue to grow and develop.
