  • Do not copy and paste tables, charts, articles, code or materials from other websites

  • Treat other subscribers with courtesy and respect

    Online discussion forums are like any other organized gathering of people; there are rules of etiquette everyone is expected to follow. We believe in free expression of a variety of viewpoints and critical discussion of all ideas. Your experience is bound only by a set of common sense rules that ask you to be civil and show respect for others when you are online.

  • Do not express disagreements or personal vendettas on the forums.

    Do not name people you may have a disagreement with or allow identification of those people by inference. Do not threaten, or harass anyone, directly or by indirectly. Doing so will lead to a warning or being banned from the site. If you have any problems regarding another member or a member of the staff, you are encouraged to privately contact the website owner.

  • Do not post offensive comments or material.

    You agree not to post anything which is false, vulgar, obscene, sexually-oriented, invading someone's privacy, or otherwise in violation of ANY law. Do not use ethnic slurs or hate speech. Do not libel or defame others. Do not use any profanity.

  • Please report offensive material.

    You agree that if you see any texts, photos, videos or other posts that offend you or you think may offend other members, that you will contact the site administrator as soon as possible.

  • Inappropriate content will be removed.

    We reserve the right to edit or remove objectionable or inappropriate posts. We do not monitor all forum messages in real time or hold them for approval, so objectionable content cannot be removed until it is seen by the administrators. Violators who post objectionable content may receive a warning, or have their memberships terminated.

  • Do not share content or link out to any third party unless you are certain it is 100% evidence-based, scientific and factual.

  • Do not accept anything posted by other members as factual or endorsed by the website.

    You agree to accept responsibility for all forum posts, messages and content you post or which is posted under your user name. This website does not assume responsibility for content posted by members. The person posting a message is solely responsible for that message.

  • All content posted in the forums becomes property of this website.
