PLEASE READ OUR FORUM RULES BEFORE POSTING

Spark of Brilliance Community Guidelines

We take pride in keeping our message boards respectful, pleasant, and enjoyable for members of all ages. Please read the following guidelines before posting.

Flaming, Bashing, and Trolling
Hate posts and personal attacks will not be tolerated. Treat others here as you would expect them to treat you. Posting topics specifically designed to provoke a negative response from someone (aka trolling) is also asked to be avoided. There are however some posts that will cause debates that may offend you. If you are easily offended by discussions about opinionated topics we suggest you stay out of those topics.

In order to maintain a positive atmosphere, no personal attacks or insults will be tolerated. While discussions may become heated, it is not an excuse to result to attacks or insults. There is a difference between a passionate, respectful discussion and one that delves into personal matters. Think of it as debating issues, not individuals. When the line is crossed, the discussion may be closed by the moderation team. Violators will be warned and potentially banned. Moderators and Administrators Have the Final Word.

If you have a problem or a complaint, direct it to the administrators and/or moderators, not to the boards. The appropriate actions will be taken. We reserve the right to ban flagrant offenders when deemed necessary, with or without prior warning.

No 'Spamming'
Purposely spamming a message board with senseless, vacuous, or empty messages to gain a higher post count, or just to annoy others is HIGHLY frowned upon! Commercial spamming and advertising are just as unwelcome.

Language
Our community is family-friendly. There are young users and language should be kept within a PG-13 level. Vulgar language is not allowed. This constitutes the use of any kind of offensive, discriminatory, or otherwise inappropriate material deemed unsafe for younger or sensitive members. Inappropriate language will potentially be removed and users will be warned and/or banned.

Signatures
A typical signature contains the poster's name, e-mail address, website, and a favorite quote or saying. Excessive font size are not allowed. While you are allowed to promote web site(s) in your signature, users are not permitted to post any kind of affiliate program link with referrer IDs. Anyone abusing this privilege will be warned and then have their signature removed until they acknowledge this guideline.

Support
While many people on this forum have lived experience of mental health issues and may be a great support and be able to offer suggestions, encouragement and advise, please always be sure to check with your health care team before acting on any suggestions or advise given in the forum. If at any time you need immediate help or you are in crisis, please call your local Crisis Line or visit your local emergency room.



Again, please follow the above guidelines when posting on our forum. If you have any questions, please contact us. Above all, remember to have fun!
