USER'S
AGREEMENT AND RULES OF CONDUCT FOR REGROWTH.COM MESSAGE BOARDS
Use of
and participation in the Regrowth.com message boards ("interactive
community") is contingent upon your acceptance of the following
terms and rules. By participating in the interactive community, you
acknowledge your acceptance of these terms. For purposes of this agreement,
"Participant" refers to you. "Regrowth" refers to
Regrowth.com, Incorporated.
RULES
OF CONDUCT
These forums
are for discussing hair loss and information associated with hair loss.
These guidelines are posted only to bring clarification on some issues
where there have been questions in the past. Regrowth could not be any
happier with the quality of posts provided by its participants and it
is our desire to provide an environment that is conducive to discussions
about hair loss. In general what we're describing here is a code of
conduct and if all of our participants will subscribe to this code of
conduct most of these rules will be easily observed.
- Show
respect at all times.
- Help
build the hair loss community.
The success
of our forums depends upon the quality posts of our participants. We
are proud of the success of our forums and give our thanks to those
who have chosen to make our forums their hair loss discussion home.
To ensure continued success we are posting these guidelines so that
all participants of the Regrowth forums understand what is considered
unacceptable behavior in the forums and can result in a temporary suspension
or a permanent ban.
- We reserve the right to terminate the membership of any participant at any time, for any reason.
- Advertising
of commercial products or services is prohibited. This
includes providing links to websites you have a financial interest
in. Final authority and decision on what constitutes a commercial
promotion or advertising within the forums will lie with the Webmaster
and any designated forums moderators.
- Personal
attacks are prohibited. This specifically means any text/post that
is blatantly attacking another person on or off the forum, especially
in a personal way.
- Trolling
is prohibited. Trolling is whenever someone is clearly, deliberately
posting in a manner for the purpose of angering and/or insulting the
other participants of the board. Trolling DOES NOT encourage further
discussion in the long run, it only encourages personal attacks (if
left unchecked).
- Private
Messages received on these Forums are to be considered private and
are not to be posted publicly unless the sender of the private message
agrees.
- Creating multiple accounts or accounts with fake information is prohibited.
- Participant
shall not post messages containing personal phone numbers or addresses.
- Posting
of pornography, racist or otherwise discriminating remarks, threats
to cause physical or mental harm, extreme offensive language, material
that breaks any law or otherwise totally unacceptable posts or links
to pages that contain the aforementioned material may result in an
immediate ban from the Forums.
- Spamming
the forums is prohibited.
- Please
adhere to the following restriction for images:
- Maximum size of image file(s): 35k
- Not
responding to or ignoring moderator warnings can lead to suspension.
- Off
Topic (OT) are not prohibited, but should be posted within reason.
There are some topics that are not appropriate for the forums. All
posts are subject to these rules. Excessive OT posts will be dealt
with on a case by case basis. If you feel the need to post an off
topic post, please place (OT) in the subject line.
- All
Forums have a main topic. When starting a new thread, make sure you
do so in the proper Forum.
Thank you
for being a part of the Regrowth community! If you have any comments
or questions, feel free to send us a private message or an e-mail at
webmaster@regrowth.com.
