How To Help Keep This Forum At Its Best

[boffer]

On 4/7/2010, we added clarifying points to the Terms of Service (TOS) that everyone agrees to when they register to become a member of the SFG Forum. We know that no one reads the small print in TOS's, so we are making clear what our priorities are. We feel they are simple, concise, and reasonable, and within every member's ability to comply.

I'm sure you write your posts with the best intentions. But if you take a few seconds to review your post before you hit the send button, you can often avoid awkward phrasing and words that infer unintended meanings.

This is the new addition to the default TOS that is now in use:



The Terms of Service can be found in it's entirety here:

May all your gardening dreams come true.

To see it, you have to log out first otherwise it redirects to the front page.  Once I logged out I was able to see it just fine   
Thanks, and thanks to all our moderators who do such a great job keeping this place runnning smooth and relatively friction-free!

Audrey, try clearing your forum cookies; You can find that at the bottom right of the front page. Hopefully that may fix the problem.

In case anyone else is having trouble reading them, I have copied the TOS below.

Forum Terms of service
The moderators of this forum will try hard to edit or remove reprehensible messages as soon as possible. However, it is impossible for them to review all the messages. You thus admit that all the messages posted on this forum express the sight and opinion of their respective authors and not those of the moderators or the Webmaster (except messages posted by them) and consequently, they cannot be held responsible of the discussions.

This forum uses cookies to store information on your computer. These cookies will not contain any personal information; they are only used to improve comfort while browsing. The address e-mail is only used in order to confirm the details of your registration as your password (and also to send you back your password if you forget it).

- Aggressive or slanderous messages, as well as personal insults and critics, the coarseness and vulgarities, and more generally any message contravening the French laws are prohibited.
- Messages who promote - or evoke - illegal practices are prohibited.
- If you post informations which come from another site
, look first if the site in question doesn't forbid it. Show the address of the site in question in order to respect the work of their administrators!
- Please post your messages only once. The repetitions are unpleasant and useless!
- Please make an effort on grammar and spelling. SMS-style language (ex: r u sk8ing?) is not advised!

Any message contravening the listing above will be edited or removed without additional notice or justification within deadlines which will depend on the availability of the moderators. Any abuse will involve the cancellation of the registration. Internet is neither an anonymous space, nor a space of no-right! We reserve ourselves the possibility of informing your access provider and/or the legal authorities of any malevolent behavior. An IP address of each poster is recorded in order to help us to make you respect these conditions.

By clicking on " I agree to these terms " below:
- You acknowledge to have fully read these current rules;
- You commit yourself to respect unreservedly these current rules;
- You grant the moderators of this forum the right to delete, move or edit any discussion subject at any moment.


Please read this part:

This is a family friendly forum. Always has been, always will be. Please post accordingly.

This forum is dedicated to the purpose of sharing, teaching, encouraging, and supporting fellow Square Foot Gardeners in their gardening endeavors. This forum uses the ALL NEW SQUARE FOOT GARDENING book written by Mel Bartholomew, copyright 2006 and 2013, as it's guide in this purpose. The original SFG method is no longer supported.

The founder of the forum worked hard to create an atmosphere that is friendly, fun, supportive, and positive. It is the administrator's responsibility to maintain that atmosphere in a manner consistent with current board management practices, including revocation of posting privileges. Please do your best to support that philosophy.

We have an off-topic forum for conversations that aren't SFG specific. However, as with most forums, we demand that the topics of politics, religion, and others that invariably lead to heated arguments, not be discussed.

No soliciting.

We encourage and value your participation, and ask that you respect our guidelines.
