Let’s make the Living Room a great place to hang out to share experiences and help others. To ensure this happens, I must ask you to abide by the following guidelines when you post anything to any one of the couches on the Living Room forum.
- The Living Room should at all times be an inclusive and safe place for all members
- I encourage open and caring discussions and insist on respect from all members to each other
- Hate speech, rudeness, threats, self-promotion and spam will not be tolerated. Posts containing any one of these will be deleted.
- As the Living Room moderator, I reserve the right to remove any visitor found to be in violation of these guidelines.
