Community Profile

1. Be courteous. There are women from all walks of life in our community. Many of you will disagree about some subjects - even if you don't expect them to be controversial. No name calling, flaming, snarking (publicly), or hostility will be tolerated. Informing a person about an option or alternative viewpoint is okay, forcing it down their throat is not. If you cannot think of something productive and respectful to say, skip the post.

2. If you post about a controversial topic looking for answers, you will get them, and you may not like them. Receive all advice courteously and remember it is just advice; you can - and should - make your own informed choices.

3. No deleting posts or comments. Contact a moderator if you are concerned about an exchange that occurred. (Accidental double posts are okay to delete. Comment editing is allowed, if you state why you edited your comment.)

4. Please fill out the survey below when you join so we can get to know you. A moderator will tag your first entry with your username (if we miss it, you can comment in the Weekly Moderator Housekeeping Post), so you and others can keep track of your posts to the community. Please tag subsequent entries yourself.

5. Tag your entries with your username and keyword(s) that describe your post!

6. If we miss your post and don't add you to the due date roll call or add a tag for your username, wait for the Weekly Moderator Housekeeping Post and comment there and we'll add it for you! We're only human :)
