1. Grant others the courtesy to be understood and acknowledge their views. As best as one is capable, speak truth in love.
Matthew 7:12, 1 Corinthians 13:1-13
1.1 Always tag a member that you mention in any thread. (@ plus name)
1.2 Resist the urge to make it personal when discussing differences. Address the issue, not the person.
1.3 Do not misquote or misrepresent another member. Do not state a negative
opinion about a member’s denomination, leaders, founders, or the
veracity of a member’s faith.
Exodus 20:16
1.4 No trolling. No flaming or remarks used to intentionally upset members. Intentional disruption of this nature may result in immediate termination of your membership.
We understand the body of Christ is very diverse. It is this sites goal to facilitate an environment where charity and humility rises above hostility and division.

I'm not the best writer at times... I work and function in a world filled with lists and bulleit points with an occasional drawing on the white board or power point, and I've lost my ability to articulate the way I used to.
I dont know if everyone likes my rendition, but I liked the tone. Grammar could be cleaned up....
Can't I just email you my word ?
I'm good with the above.
1.4 scares me a little because I feel like we all say things that might upset a person...so IMMEDIATE termination?? I guess intentionally is the operative word...but it seems to be so subjective... Only YOU know what you want to do with disrupters, so if you've thought of this....All is fine.

There will always be a rule that no member will be terminated on the sole descression of a single Administrator.
The only exception to this would be a new member who hits it hot and heavy right from the get go. I'm not going to allow an obvious troll to disrupt the board.
I'm going to re-write the staff expectations to outline this a bit more clearly. I can throw a link in the TOS to it for easy access.
Just know that we understand when folks are just having a bad time in their life, and were willing to work with them. But they have to be willing to work with us.
What I've learned is this. If we let aggression run unbridled, we will never meet the goals and ministry of this forum. The point system doesnt really work because it doesnt change hearts. It only teaches people how to slap another with a smile on their face...
Agreed.
Please confirm .... should I then go ahead and change Section One to your post 84?
Truthfrees is nice enough to help me with the technical aspects, so let me know if you're decided or still want more input from others...

If you think best.
I think we should move ahead.
Will fix draft tomorrow to your specs and do a final posting.
CC Truthfrees
Agreed
For StoveBolts and Truthfrees
Was out this morning. Will work on the new wording as per SB in about 30 minutes.
I'm going to email TF the final draft which will be called Three.2
It should be perfect and ready to post to the final TOS thread for Section One.
Later.
THIS IS A TEST.......PLEASE DISREGARD.

Hi TF,
The sample I posted on no. 96 was achieved by saving the document as "web page".
It's the best I could do to get it onto here. It needs adjusting but it's minimal, and it could be done, I've tried it.
My question for both you and StoveBolts would be whether or not THIS is what is necessary????
IOW, HOW does the TOS get posted?
Does it get posted from here?
Does it get posted from a Word document?
This needs to be known before we go ahead because the method is important to know...

Basically, it will become a "Page" on this site.
I will copy all of the text from the final draft and run it through an HTML converter.
Once I have the text in html, I will tweak to my liking and when complete, I will create a new page and put our old TOS to rest.
Dont spend too much time with the formatting. I can handle that end and it's less I have to strip out to get a clean html document.
This is exactly what I mean.
I saved it as a web page NOT as html.
Is that what I should be doing??
Should I save it normally, post it here and then YOU handle it? It'll need a good deal of work in that case,,,more than in my post no. 96...
But, basically, it'll just be fixing the format...
Shouldn't take that long....

If it makes it easier on you, just copy paste from your word document and I'll do the rest.
