Female Network Posting Policies

Female Network promotes a healthy, lively discussion within its community. We've made our rules simple, but kindly please observe them at all times. Note that breaking them can affect your Female Network membership. Help us keep the discussions enjoyable by observing these rules:

• 1. Do observe our limited advertising policy. Members can advertise products and services exclusively in GIRLTalk's For Sale area, with links to photo-hosting websites. Promotion of products and services will be permitted in the GIRLTalk discussion boards, though only if the link is within the For Sale area. Redirecting members to competing websites is forbidden. Members who send unsolicited promotional messages through private messaging may face sanctions.
• 2. Female Network supports proper language. We'd like you to post in English and Filipino, or Taglish. Other dialects will only be allowed in the Groups section. Keep formatting simple to maintain message readability. Text speak, sTiCkY cApS, ALLCAPS, and strong styles such as bold type should also be kept to a minimum. Frequent violators will be sanctioned via private message and/or e-mail.
• 3. Respect the Female Network bloggers and your fellow members. Debates are welcome, but personal attacks and squabbling are not. Cussing, swearing or otherwise using crass language is not tolerated. Disrespect and foul language will result in stiff penalties.
• 4. Browse the discussions before you post. Get a feel of what is and isn't acceptable. If you find a discussion that offends you, then don't join it. Members who exhibit unacceptable behavior will be sanctioned via private message and/or e-mail.
• 5. Post messages with content. Except where permitted, no chitchat in any of our discussion boards or comments section. Superfluous and unnecessary messages that do not contribute to the discussions will be deleted.
• 6. It is extremely bad form to reply to a message by quoting the entire previous message. Edit out all the irrelevant material, or use the caret (^) symbol to refer to the message directly above yours.
• 7. Post your message to the right board/category, blog, gallery, group, and post it only once. To avoid redundancies, use the Search tool to look for similar topics before you start a new one. Netiquette suggests that you join an existing discussion rather than start your own.
• 8. Avoid multi-posting. Posting the same message to more than one thread or board results in post deletion.
• 9. Female Network is not your personal or business card. Except where permitted, posting sensitive information such as, but not limited to, your real name, e-mail address, home/office address, and phone number, is strictly prohibited. Moderators/Administrators will remove such information when found and serve the offender a warning.
• 10. Female Network is a CLEAN ZONE. You will not engage in sexual and unwelcome social solicitations. This offense will be dealt with immediately.
• 11. Respect your administrators and moderators. GIRLTalk moderators are tasked to enforce these policies. Their responsibilities include policing the forum and its members, removing inappropriate posts, moderating conflicts, and imposing penalties for offenses committed. They help the community run smoothly. In order for the community to work, their decisions need to be respected.
• 12. Administrator and Moderator Actions. By posting to the Female Network Blogs, Gallery, Groups, Videos, and GIRLTalk sections, you agree that the administrators and moderators have the right to take action on any topic or post at any time as they see fit. Depending on the scope of the offense, they may deem it necessary to delete your posts, issue a private or public warning, or suspend or terminate your account.

These rules are subject to change without prior notice.
