I don't get the need for about 9/10ths of the threads here. But we posters gotta post!!

FORUM RULES

New members may register as a member of this discussion board by clicking on the "Register" link and completing and submitting the brief form as per the instructions.

The Apostolic Friends Forum is compliant with COPPA, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. Users under the age of 13 are required to submit parental consent by fax or mail prior to being allowed into the Apostolic Friend Forum. Additionally, the Apostolic Friend Forum is geared toward Adults.

Members are required to keep their account updated with their correct email address. E-mail addresses that come back undeliverable at any time will result in that account being deleted. Member accounts that are not used will be deleted periodically.

Privacy of Posters
As Privacy is an important issue to many posters on Apostolic Friend Forum, let it be understood that anyone that maliciously reveals anothers private information will be banned.

Rules of Conduct
This discussion board is for Apostolic Pentecostal Christians who believe that the Bible, in it's entirety, is the word of God, is without error, and that it is completely relevant today. We welcome and encourage visitors of other faiths to post and ask sincere questions in their honest search to learn more of our faith and about our wonderful Lord, Savior, and God whose name is Jesus Christ. We do not, however, give place for the tearing down, or destruction of, the christian faith in any form. The propagation of atheism is not welcome here. No tearing down of Ministers.

We do not allow any rebuking, hatefulness, name calling, or verbal attacks by any person or group of people, toward any person or group of people. Content that is unseemly, using bad language or any form of insinuating bad language (i.e. one letter and ****), name calling, or offensive slang is not permitted. Debate is encouraged, bad attitudes are not.

This administration knows that God's word allows for rebuking under certain conditions, but because of the lack of understanding by some,as well as the differing views by a multitude of readers here, and forthe sake of peace, we will not permit it under any circumstances.

Self Moderated Board & Banning Penalties For Unruly Posters
The Apostolic Friend Forum is a self-moderated discussion board. If you feel that a user is not in compliance with the rules of this board please use the report button to report inappropriate posts, or send a private message to an admin. The admin will make a determination to allow the post, remove the post and warn the user, or immediately remove the user.

Admin may remove any offensive post, or ban any members at the sole discretion of the admin on duty at that time. Normally you will receive a warning if such occurs. In the event a thread is closed, or a person is banned, admin will review the situation, and either agree to uphold the ban, or reinstate the poster. If you are banned you will not have the ability to post in the forums. You will receive no warning before you are banned. It is your responsibility to have read the rules and to know them. If you break them it will be assumed that at the time you knew you were breaking them. With the exception of those that are just "out of control", we will follow the following rules in banned members:

First Offense: 7 day ban
Second Offense: 1 month ban
Third Offense: 6 months
Fourth Offense: Permanent ban

If a banned poster does not respect the ban and returns under another nick or IP, the ban will automatically be extended, or possibly be made permanent. Any member who is banned can petition Admin via email to ask for reinstatement prior to the ban being lifted. Admin will review this and make their decision.

Open Proxies
To prevent spammers and or banned trouble makers returning to the forum under a new nick all open proxy servers may be subject to immediate banning and removal of the user. In other words you must NOT be going through someone elses server to hide your real IP address.

What to do if you have a problem with an Admin action
If you have a question about a ban, or any action of an Admin, discuss it in PM or Email with Admin. Openly questioning or defying the Admins over a banning or other Admin actions will result in a ban. All actions viewed as seditious or anarchistic will result in a banning as well. Remember, the Admins are here to help make the board run smoothly and need your cooperation.

Doctrinal Positions
On matters of doctrine, feel free to post your views supported with scripture. It is okay to disagree, just let the conversation flow, letting go of the need to prove yourself right. Remember, the truth needs no defense, so let go of your fleshy pride and ego. Use your anonymity to humble yourself and learn. There is no injury in this, only benefit. We can all learn from each other. If the issue is an important one and all involved are truly seeking truth, then prayerful discussion and study of God's word will reveal it.

Posting Email Addresses & Private Messages
We recommend that you not post your email address on the board. What many may not realize is that this discussion board is a public board that is viewable by anyone and everyone in the world with Internet access.

Private messages are a privilege. Private Messages and e-mails which are exchanged privately, are not to be posted on the forum without consent of both parties. If you receive inappropriate emails or pm's, please notify an admin, and allow admin to deal with it accordingly.


Posting Links
Any link that is offensive in nature will be deleted. All links are subject to the approval of admin.

Promoting Unwholesome Behavior
No promotion of immoral or unwholesome behavior including, but not limited to, homosexuality,fornication, drug use, pornography or visiting establishments that facilitate such and sexual inuendos. You will receive a warning the first time and then after that you will receive an infraction. More egregious violations of this rule may result in an immediate ban. Your post may or may not be deleted or edited for content.

These rules are always in process of being updated and improved upon.If you have input or suggestions regarding the rules of conduct on this discussion board please contact the Administrator.
