Forum rules and guidelines

Post by admin »

RULES
Denominationalism and Traditionalism will not be tolerated anywhere on this forum.

Denominationalism and traditionalism are systems that people fight and argue over. That mindset is unwanted because through Jesus we are one family and that family breaks all borders, or boxes such as ethnicity, status, and the things we divide ourselves over. It is even timeless.

Note that if you receive push back or a correction for Biblical issues or practices, that is different and potentially the beginnings of a coversation.

If it has been determined that someone has broken this guideline, we will follow this guideline;

Matthew 18:15–17 (ESV): If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. 17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.

1. No Spam / Advertising / Self-promote in the forums
These forums define spam as unsolicited advertisement for goods, services, and/or other web sites, or posts with little, or completely unrelated content. Do not spam the forums with links to your site or product, or try to self-promote your website, business or forums, etc.
Spamming also includes sending private messages to a large number of different users.

2. Do not post “offensive” posts, links or images
Any material which constitutes defamation, harassment, or abuse is strictly prohibited. Material that is sexually or otherwise obscene, racist, or otherwise overly discriminatory is not permitted on these forums. This includes user pictures. Use common sense while posting.

3. Do not cross-post questions
Please refrain from posting the same question in several forums. There is normally one forum that is most suitable in which to post your question.

4. Remain respectful of other members at all times
All posts should be professional and courteous. You have every right to disagree with your fellow community members and explain your perspective.

However, you are not free to attack, degrade, insult, or otherwise belittle them or the quality of this community. It does not matter what title or power you hold in these forums, you are expected to obey this rule.

5. Am I allowed more than one account?
No, there is no reason why you should have more than one account at OpenTuition forums. If you are banned from the forums, please do not create a new account. If you continue to create new accounts after you have been banned, your IP address will be blocked from the forums.

6. What happens if I break a rule?
If you break a rule, then you will either be warned or banned. A ban of your user account may either be temporary or permanent. The administrators and moderators also have the right to edit, delete, move or close any thread or post as they see necessary, without prior warning.

7. What happens if I see a thread/post which has broken a rule?
Please report the thread/post to the moderators or admin.

GUIDELINES
