Chat Rule #1
No discussion of any illegal activity or threats of violence. (ie. illicit drug use, including medical marijuana use, threats of suicide or self-injury, or threatened or intended physical harm). Discussions of suicide or self-harm that are deemed negative and therefore potentially injurious to others are also not permitted.

Chat Rule #2
No use of explicit, obscene or vulgar language or images and/or messages, including racist remarks.

Chat Rule #3
No posts that attack, insult, "flame", defame, or abuse members or non-members. Respect other members of the community and don't belittle, make fun off, or insult another member or non-member. Decisions about health and well-being are highly personal, individual choices. "Flaming" and insults, however, will not be tolerated. Agree to disagree. This applies to both the forums and chat.

Chat Rule #4
No advertising or links to advertising or "Spam" is permited (including signatures).

Chat Rule #5
Links to helpful web sites (commercial or otherwise) are allowed when they are posted by someone without any "vested interest" AND whose purpose is NOT to solicit, advertise, promote, fundraise, etc.

Chat Rule #6
No posts of copyrighted material. Information copyrighted or owned by any individual or entity other than the person posting should not be posted on the message boards without the consent of the owner.
