Rules, Policies, and Disclaimers

RULES HAVE BEEN CHANGED,PLEASE READ THESE BOARD GUIDELINES:

GliderCENTRAL is a private message board and website. Its upkeep is provided by its owners. The owners reserve the right to refuse and/or terminate membership at any time without reason. Thank you for helping us keep this board a friendly, helpful, G rated board for the entire family. These rules apply to our pm system as well. Complaints of abuse through the pm system will be handled in the same matter as we do for the board. Please be sure to read this post for further policy. Please address questions, concerns or suggestions to any moderator or board administrator.

Our main goal at GliderCENTRAL is for the good of the glider, and to help the owners help and care for their glider. These rules are not in place to censor anyone, they are here to protect our members.

1. Do not share your registration, each individual person must have his/her own login information. If you do not remember your login name or password, please contact us. All members must keep a current, working email address at all times.

2. Do not post names, phone numbers, addresses, personal email or correspondence without the other parties permission. Due to copyright laws, do not cut and paste articles from another site please use a link instead. Comments of glider related businesses and web sites will be allowed by name as long as the discussion is kept on topic and within reason. Personal bashing will not be tolerated.

3. Please keep the posts closely related to the topic. If the topic sparks another thought for discussion, please open a new thread. Post messages in the most appropriate forum, please refrain from posting the same message in more than one forum. Only one of those messages will remain posted. Do not be offended if moderators move your thread to a forum that fits your topic. In a large forum like ours, this kind of “housekeeping” is necessary. It is not personal. Please do not use excessive CAPS or bold lettering. It makes your message very hard to read and implies you are shouting.

4. GliderCENTRAL is a family oriented "G" rated board, be polite,courteous and respectful to other board members at all times. This means Illegal substances, Illegal activities, flaming, sexually explicit subjects, cursing, spamming, harassing, policing, diet bashing, and abusive or negative personal posts are not allowed. Posts and sometimes entire topics that contain such content will be removed, and the poster(s) may be warned, suspended or banned at the discretion of the board administrators. Abuse, flaming or inappropriate comments directed toward GliderCENTRAL, its Moderators and Administrators, or failure to comply with the direction of a Moderator or Administrator, the poster(s) may be warned, suspended or banned at the discretion of the board administrators. Please keep any personal matters off the board, take it to email or pm. Please keep in mind that board rules do apply when using the pm feature. Since we are a G rated board, the decision has been made not to allow any web blog links like below due to non G rated material on them.

Myspace
facethejury.com
hotornot.com
Okupid.com
Xanga
You Tube

** We cannot possibly cover every website individually so any website which leads to non G-rated material will be removed **
