Forum and Group Rules
There rules govern the Forums and the Blog pages and are in addition to the Terms and Conditions you have already agreed to when logging in. Members should observe both the letter and the spirit of these rules.
Each member is responsible for only his or her own posts. If another member breaks rules, you may ignore them or report the problem to the moderators, but you may not use it as an excuse to break rules yourself.
Volunteer moderators help us manage the forums and enforce the forum rules. The moderators cannot read every message, so they rely on members to report problem posts that they encounter. The point of moderation is not to limit discussion, promote or suppress points of view, or any other secret agendas. The goal of moderation is to keep the forums enjoyable and free from problems that detract from accomplishing the projects within the groups/forums.
For full details about reporting posts and what to do if your posts are moderated see …
How do I report a post in the FAQ page?

Instantly Bannable Offenses
These offenses can result in temporary forum suspensions or permanent bans. If you get a warning, heed it!
- Insults – Direct personal insult of another forum member (e.g., “You are an idiot.”) and other name-calling. Why? Because this isn’t grade school. People should be able to discuss or even dispute other’s posts without insulting people. You may dispute somebody’s opinion but not attack/defame the person who stated it. There are lots of other non-direct-personal insults that won’t necessarily get you banned instantly, but depending on the context/nature may lead to post editing, post deletion, warnings, or time-outs. They include, but not limited to, telling people to shut up, describing a member as an ignorant person (rather than ignorant about a particular topic) or obtuse or as an apologist, and being extremely or repeatedly rude or sarcastic. It’s not your place to tell other members they are not welcome; if they follow the rules, they are welcome. Bottom line—don’t try to tick off others and don’t make discussions unnecessarily personal. If somebody else insults you, report their post; their post does not give you a license to break the rules by returning their insults. Although we do not read Private Messages sent between members, the rules for appropriate and inappropriate content apply to them as well.
- Harassment – Purposely intimidating a particular member, harassing them, sending them rude or unwanted private messages, etc, this includes personal attacks on moderators for doing their jobs.
- Threats – Any threat or intimation of a threat.
- Registration rules – Violation of the rules you agreed to when registering for the site: that you will not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-oriented, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violate any laws.
- Multiple registrations – You may register only one account. However, you may be in multiple forums. Reinstatement of banned or cancelled accounts can come only from an administrator.
- Hoaxes – Purposely misleading other members to their detriment, giving advice you know to be incorrect or harmful. Sensationalism.
- Trolling – Do not post in order to anger other members or intentionally cause negative reactions. For a given post, this can be a subjective call, but a pattern of such posting or an especially egregious case will get you banned.
- Hate speech and group slurs – Discrimination, abuse, threats or prejudice against a particular group, for example based on race, gender, religion or sexual orientation, in a way that a reasonable person would find offensive.
- Discipline – All forum disciplinary action is at the discretion of the moderators. Review may be requested through an admin.
Advertising/soliciting/self-promotion
Your purpose in joining Kingshipmanna.org or posting should not be to promote, advertise, or otherwise call attention to your site, blog, product, or business.
Forum posts should be free of ads and promotions that benefit the poster. Legitimate recommendations, promotion of ideas and requests for like-minded people to join together and help are permitted, but in ambiguous circumstances members without a previous forum track record will not be given the benefit of the doubt.
If a member solicits information from another member, concerning their business/products in order to help them with their individual projects, this is acceptable as long as done through private messages.
- Advertising – Using the forums for advertising, site or product promotion, or for business deals and offers. You may not make posts to promote commercial, personal or for-profit website, products, or services. Threads will be deleted if their purpose is to advertise, announce, or promote products, services, or organizations, build traffic at other website, carry out business activities, or for similar purposes that do not benefit the forum community. If members find not-for-profit products or services that may benefit the project of the forum, this can be shared freely as long as it does not violate other rules. If you feel it may benefit the entire family, please send on the blog page for approval.
- Shilling – If you pretend to be a consumer who recommends your own product(s) or favors your own product(s) over others, without admitting your affiliation, you will be banned. Members who post in threads only to criticize another member’s product/service/idea while promoting their own will also be banned.
- Soliciting – You may not use the forums or any other part of this site to solicit donations, votes, or participants for surveys, contests, petitions, or product testing.
- Self-promotion – Self-promotional links, as it relates to the projects, to your blog, video channel, product, business, etc. are limited to forum intent and purpose, even if you have a wonderful and useful site, blog, product, or business.
Memberships created solely for these purposes will be banned.
Exceptions
- Members may embed YouTube videos in their forum posts, using the upload link/moderators, as long as it suits the thread discussion and their purpose for posting is not self-promotion.
- Established members may post links to answers, reviews, or videos that answer specific questions from other users, even if it’s their own site, as long as they don’t use the forums primarily for such posts.
Members must not use these privileges to
- Repeatedly mention their products in general discussion threads.
- Start threads to discuss, promote or advertise their business, products, or services
- “Badmouth” members who will be doing the same project(s)
- Use the forums to carry out business operations, e.g., solicit feedback, provide customer service, announce special deals, promos, or new products.
- As a representative for your foundation/charity, you may post about those foundations/charities if the following conditions apply:
- Your affiliation with foundation/charity is announced in the forum
- You are posting about relative information for the project/forum
- You are replying to forum posts to answer questions when your product/service is particularly relevant to the question. Example: Your company or product was mentioned by name or your product suits a specific requirement being discussed.
- The purpose of the post is to help forum members, not merely to benefit your organization.
- Products/services are used for not-for-profit only.
Things not to do
These habits can produce warnings and repeated violations can produce bans.
- Inappropriate posting in a debate – The Rules for appropriate Debate apply when users disagree with each other. We insist on a certain level of respect and civility toward other users, even when your viewpoints differ, and prohibit posts that attack posters personally or serve only to anger others (see “trolling” above.)
- Frivolous and one-word posts – Such posts waste everyone’s time and will be deleted. Examples include, but not limited to, posts with only one or two words (e.g., “cool”, “LOL”, or a simile), posts celebrating being the first post in a thread, posts saying “I agree”, “+1”m “this”, “me too”, or the equivalent, posting overused memes, or making posts with images or videos that contain no relevant, constructive text or commentary. If you aren’t interested in a thread, skip the thread: don’t post to tell us you aren’t interested.
- Over posting – Making the same post many times, making multiple pointless posts in the same thread, making numerous posts with no real content, or posting for the purpose of gaining a higher post count.
- Reposting – Please don’t repost entire articles from other sites. To initiate a discussion about an article, post a link to the article, and include your own comments or questions so people know why you think it’s worthy of discussion.
- Referral links and pyramid schemes – Kingshipmanna.org does not condone multi-level marketing schemes (e.g., free iPods, or Macs if you refer X number of people). Members who post referral links to these or other sites will have their posts edited and may be warned.
- Off-topic posts – Off-topic posts will be deleted/edited. If you keep doing it see “Repeated problems” below.
- Instructing other member to search – Instructing member to search themselves for an answer or responses such as LMGTFY (Let me google that for you) are experienced as rude and condescending. We don’t have an issue with people linking to google search results, although we prefer that members also link to a specific page that addresses the question being posed. A few words explaining how you got your search results makes your response even more helpful.
- Language – Profanity is not permitted in any form on the entire site.
- Repeated problems – Any ongoing actions that make more work for the moderators and administrators or regularly annoy other members and require moderator action. We have many members to serve and can’t spend a disproportionate amount of time dealing with problems caused by any one member. If your membership is an ongoing detriment to our family then your membership may be terminated.
- Membership/Account Security – Each member is required to have their own account/membership and use their own account/membership. Posting from another member’s account/membership is prohibited. E., spouses can’t use each other’s accounts. You must login using your own account/membership. Members who are found in violation of this may have disciplinary action taken against both accounts/memberships.
Minor Problems
- Chattiness – Use the forums to discuss the topic of the thread, NOT as a substitute for INSTANT MESSAGING. Please keep personal or personal project discussions on the messaging between members, NOT on the forums which are geared toward family members teaming up on projects.
- One post – Do not post multiple messages with the same content. One post in the most appropriate thread is sufficient.
- Avatar – Avatars, as well as other profile fields, must comply with all forum/site rules, including those against profanity, explicit sexual content, insults against groups or individuals, referral links, and cannot be in other ways offensive. Members will be required to change avatars that are deemed too controversial or that are particularly annoying or distracting to other members.
- Corrections – There is no need to point out another poster’s spelling or grammatical errors unless you think it is causing confusion. Remember that not all members are native English speakers. Communication, not correctness, is our goal. The best way to be helpful is by posting a link to a relevant thread or specific instructions for problem solving. Set a good example yourself by searching the forum first before asking a question that may already have been answered in the forums or you want to discuss a topic that may already have been discussed. The exception is articles appearing on our Front Page. These entries are created by our volunteer staff. If you notice a spelling or grammar error in these articles, please send an e-mail to admin@kingshipmanna.org.
- Lingua franca – org is an English-language site, so we ask that posts in the forums be written in English. If you require Spanish, please use Google translate for the time being until we get the Spanish language page up and running.
- Common sense – In the end, use common sense and be honorable. When you are about to post messages just think, does this pertain to this forum and its projects? Members are responsible for everything they post. Should the posts violate any type of copyright, patent, etc…., then the member is solely responsible for the consequences.
Rules for Debate
These rules and guidelines describe the acceptable and unacceptable ways to participate in a discussion in the forums. These rules augment and clarify the general Forum Rules. Guidelines indicate the spirit of the rules.
Respect
Guidelines: Show respect for your fellow family members. Expect and accept that other users may have strongly held opinions that differ from yours. In other words, please exercise basic human courtesy. We are all children of the same God … behave accordingly. WWJD
Rules
- Name-calling. Name-calling falls into the category of insults and will NOT be tolerated. According to the forum rules, EVERYONE is to be treated with respect, your own opinion about another member notwithstanding. You can’t call a bigot a bigot, a troll a troll, or a fanboy a fanboy, anymore than you can call an idiot an idiot. You can disagree with the content of another member’s statement or give your evidence or opinion to dispute their claims, but you may not make a negative personal characterization about that member.
- Hate speech and group slurs. We prohibit any declarations or willful actions which may be construed as offensive included but not limited to abuse, threats, acts of prejudice toward or against any class of people, any race, sub-group or ethnicity, any gender or sexual orientation, sect or religion.
- Taunting. Mocking or taunting another forum member is not acceptable. Posts that ridicule another member or obviously exaggerate or misstate their views may be removed.
Debate
Guidelines: Be willing to engage in face-based, constructive debate. Look for ways to inform and learn from others.
Rules
- Sources – If you claim that something’s a fact, back it up with a source. If you can’t produce evidence when someone asks you to cite your sources, we may remove your posts. If you started the discussion, then we may remove or close that discussion.
- Repetition – If you repeat the same claims without adding new information, we might remove your posts. Again, if you started the discussion, them we may remove or close that discussion.
- Trolling – Posts that appear to be designed to cause argument or irritate rather than contribute to a constructive discussion are considered trolling and will be treated as such.
- Duplicate discussions – If a new thread repeats a topic that has been previously discussed or debated, without basis for a separate discussion, the thread may be closed, removed, or merged into an earlier thread on the same topic. A news report on a previously discussed issue doesn’t automatically deserve a new thread.
Moderation
Guidelines: Stay within the forum rules to preserve your membership privileges.
Rules
- Reporting – Members should report posts to call the moderators attention to the troublesome posts/posters.
- Responsibility – You’re responsible for your own behavior. “I was goaded into breaking the rules” is not an excuse. If you think a post is inappropriate, report it and/or respond without breaking the rules.
- Suspensions – Forum member whose posts are removed for violating these rules may be subject to temporary or permanent account suspension (bans), particularly for repeated or serious rule violations.
Questions ???
If the rules aren’t clear, ask for clarification before posting. You can ask privately using the messaging or through admin@kingshipmanna.org
