To All Using This Forum:

The following are the guidelines for this web forum and discussion board. Please read carefully.

1 - No Duplicate Accounts

You are permitted to have ONE user account on this board only. Those who create multiple accounts will have BOTH accounts removed. If your account does not work contact a moderator.

We will not tolerate anyone posting replies to their own messages using two or more accounts. Anyone caught violating this rule will have their IP address banned.

2 - Content

Try to keep your posts within the boards' topic. We reserve the right to move posts around to appropriate threads. If someone starts a new board or thread and requests their own guidelines, please respect those guidelines.

3 - Spam/Harassment

Please do not contact people you have not already communicated with or have an understanding relationship with by direct email. You are free to send someone a private message via his or her board email box if you have an existing communication relationship with them or have a sincere question, you wish to express off the board.

4 - Trolling

Trolling is only posting in order to cause trouble. We will not tolerate trolling. Go play somewhere else.

5 - Consideration of the other person’s point of view.

We will seldom delete a post on this board. The very nature of the topic of Freemasonry is inclined to create a difference of opinion. We accept these differences of opinion and your right to express them. Nobody will be banned because his or her views are not in sync with our own. All moderating takes place after a post is made.

6 - Links to other sites.

We do not block web addresses in posts even those that oppose our views on this board unless they are illegal or immoral sites.

7 - Property of posts

A - Opinions expressed in the posts on this forum are not necessarily those of Blendon Lodge its officers or members. All responsibility for posts lie with the poster. They are your words, choose them carefully as any damages that may ensue are your responsibility.

B - We reserve the right to use posts or any part thereof as part of an article in the Blendon Bulletin or blendon339 web site. Full credit will be given to the poster.

8 - Images

When posting images, please do not direct link to any images on servers not owned or under your control. This constitutes bandwidth theft and is a violation of the terms of service of this web discussion board.

9 - Policy regarding abusive posters

We ask that you respect each other. If you are in disagreement, it is fine to disagree, but if such disagreement will disrupt the harmony of the board, please agree to disagree. Failure to do so will see the removal of you from this forum. This applies to moderators as well as general posters.

Thank you for your attention to these rules.
