Discussion Board Guidelines for Use
Explorefaith.org is dedicated to providing an open, non-judgmental venue
for those wishing to explore questions about spirituality and faith. We believe
in a God of love and grace, and wish to maintain a loving, accepting environment
on the Explorefaith.org discussion boards. We realize that there will be disagreement
among the views expressed. We believe that differing beliefs and opinions will
serve to make the site a richer, more thought-provoking experience both for
those who participate by posting messages and those who access the discussion
boards simply to read what is there. Though you may disagree with another contributor's
response, or to responses originating at Explorefaith.org, we ask that all
replies honor those persons who have contributed. Explorefaith.org insists
that all contributors refrain from posting the following:
Inflammatory, defamatory, foul, vulgar, sexually explicit, threatening, abusive, harassing or obscene language;
Racial epithets or hateful words,
Unsolicited advertising, promotional materials or any other forms of solicitation;
Material harmful to minors in any way;
Hyperlinks to inappropriate or obscene sites;
Advocacy of any illegal or violent behavior;
Unlawful use of copyrighted material or other intellectual property;
Infringement on others rights to privacy and anonymity.
You may not, while using the Explorefaith.org discussion boards, impersonate any person or entity, including, but not limited to, an Explorefaith.org representative, or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity. Explorefaith.org reserves the right to remove from its discussion boards any posts that do not comply with the above stipulations. Explorefaith.org will determine the acceptability of such posts at its sole discretion. Those who abuse this discussion board will be barred from future access. Explorefaith.org is unable to provide live monitors at all times and thus cannot guarantee that the Explorefaith.org discussion boards will be free of inappropriate behavior.
Privacy Policy
Explorefaith.org is committed to maintaining the privacy and anonymity of
all contributors to our discussion boards. Although we do offer contributors
the option of completing a user profile, this is in no way mandatory. Users
are able to post messages by submitting a full name, user name and e-mail address
at registration. This information is necessary to prevent any contributor from
posting messages using another contributor's identity. All full names, passwords
and e-mail addresses are confidential information that Explorefaith.org will
not post or distribute to other contributors or outside sources.
