Forum Guidelines

[Matt Andrews]

The official Matt Community is a great place to find advice, assist your fellow members, and enhance your overall spiritual experience. Here is the rules and guidelines of our forum.

In general, please post in a courteous and mature manner applicable to the topic of discussion. This encompasses disagreement with the Admins and moderators of this forum. We will not interfere with the communication of thoughts and ideas as long as comments are appropriate for all forum readers.

You may not post material that...

• Attacks or insults others on the board. Feel free to debate the idea, but do not turn your disagreement into an attack upon the poster.
• Engages in name-calling, harassment, or threats. See above.
• Contains obscenity, vulgarity, or profanity.
• Disparages any religion, race, nation, gender, or sexual orientation.
• Infringes on anyone's privacy rights.
• Posting of copywrite infringing links, this contains links from Youtube, unless proof of your own work can be displayed.

Furthermore, you may not...

• Make multiple posts on the same subject for the purpose of getting attention paid to your issue. Post off-topic comments in threads for the purpose of drawing attention to another thread on a different subject.
•"Bump" or "/sign" threads, unless asking of an Admin/Mod.
• Monopolize the front page of any forum by "bumping" threads of the same or similar content to the front. We may intervene by closing threads any time that this occurs.
• Use the official forums as a staging-ground for creating general unrest within the community.
• Advertise products or websites that are not related to this site.

Actions that the team may take against a post in violation of these rules will depend largely on the transgression. The course of action may involve any number of the following:

• Editing of the post.
• Deletion of the post/thread.
• Closing of the thread.
• Suspension.
• Banishment.
• Legal Action (I.e. contacting law enforcement personnel in regard to a threat.)

Subscribers who violate the rules of the boards may or may not receive a warning before any action is taken. In the event that a warning is given, the warning will be recorded upon the account and may result in further action should the member show a pattern of engaging in prohibited conduct.
