Welcome to the Connecting Singles
Forums!
Lets apply common sense, golden rules here. Treat others the way you would like
to be treated – with respect - be polite, considerate, with no personal
attacks, name calling, harassment, bad language. This is a place for
discussion, debate, even disagreements – but not arguments just for the sake of
arguing or aggravation. Create a clearly stated topic, enter it in the proper category, then stick to the stated topic.
If you
break the rules you will incur the wrath of other members (oh no!), and risk
losing your privilege to post to the forums and possibly your membership (don't make us do it!).
Forum Rules
-
No soliciting of any kind for websites, products or services, or directing
people to other websites.
-
Don't even think about bashing this site or the moderators here. This is a free
site...if you don't like the way things are handled here, you are free to
leave.
-
Let's keep the threads positive. If you don't like what someone is saying in a
thread, stay out of the thread.
-
This Forum is for public posts only. To email one-on-one with another member,
use the "Email" button on that member's profile.

-
It is not a CS Moderator's job to sit in threads and hold your hand to make sure you post the right things here. Posts or threads that violate the rules will simply be deleted.
-
You must have a clear topic to start a thread. “I’m bored” or “goodnight all”
is a statement, not a topic! If you don’t have anything to say, don’t waste site
space and resource saying it.
-
"Goodbye" threads are not allowed. Say your goodbyes to your friends in email, not in the forums.
-
Topics of threads must be clearly stated in titles. All posts within that
thread must address the topic described in the title. You may discuss a dislike
for a forum topic. You may NOT discuss your dislike for a forum poster.
-
Thread title may not include a member’s username. Topic may not be a question
or information about a Connecting Singles member. This is gossip and is not
allowed.
-
You may not use the forum to accuse, ‘expose’ or gossip about other members.
You may not include copies of mail you receive from or about others, or about
the site.
-
Complaints or reports about members or the site should be sent to Contact Us –
not posted in forum.
-
Threads containing large numbers of inappropriate posts, or numerous posts by a
forum offender, will be deleted in entirety. This is for quality control. It is
not a comment or reflection on non-offending posters or the originator of the
thread.
-
Read the rules. Site offenders may be banned from posting or removed from site
without notice or warning. Staff decisions are final. Don’t waste time or space
whining about them. No member has any authority or preference here.
-
Respect site resources and page load time of members with slow computers. Limit
use of emoticons to 3 emoticons per post. Each post must express your idea or
opinion in text of at least one sentence. Posts with less than one sentence,
gibberish, or with emoticons-only will be deleted.
-
Think before you post! Posts should be considered permanent. A wide audience
views these forums. Your profile and posts represent you to viewers. You will
be judged by your words. Don’t ask to have them removed.
-
Get Togethers are planned and organized by members for the purpose of getting to know each other. They are not funded, sanctioned or managed by Connecting Singles.
Participation in these events is voluntary, and at your own risk and expense. Information regarding Get Togethers is posted by members in Forums for your information.
Connecting Singles is not responsible for these activities in any way.
CS staff cares and respects our members. This is a quality, free site. Posting
here is a privilege. Act accordingly!
If rules are not followed or complaints are received, your posts and/or profile
may be deleted.
Content posted in forums becomes the property of Connecting Singles Inc.
By posting in the forums, you agree that you understand and will abide by these rules.
