Forum: Community

Our Community Guidelines:
The Curvemag Community boards are a private forum created to establish a cozy community among lesbian, bi, and questioning women and our allies. Our boards are moderated to help us achieve this goal and we ask that everyone respect the following rules:

1. Add something real to the mix. In most areas, one-liners and "me too" statements aren't enough to really get a conversation going. Longer, more substantial posts give others more of a sense of who you are and where you're coming from.
2. Don't be a bigot. Slanderous, defamatory, violent, abusive, insulting, threatening or harassing comments directed at individuals or groups of people are not tolerated.
3. Don't spam us. Advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes and other solicitations will be deleted. Period. If you have an announcement of legitimate interest to lesbians, post it to our announcements area only. Signatures may not contain url's or links to external sites.
4. Don't spam our members. Contacting a member privately without her express permission is inappropriate. (Instead, ask her permission by posting your request on the boards.) Don't email our members without their public permission. (Please understand that, by providing your email address when you register, you are giving Curve administrators and moderators permission to contact you via email.)
5. Stay with the subject at hand. It's not cool to throw an established conversation off-topic, but you can create a new topic if you like.
6. Keep it clean. Our boards are about building community. Sexually inappropriate messages will be deleted.

Folks who violate our rules may lose their posting privileges. Inappropriate posts can be removed by our moderators. We work very hard to keep the conversation going smoothly at Curvemag, but we can't be everywhere at once, so please let us know if there's a problem with a member abusing their posting privileges. Enjoy the boards!

Account Deletion Policy: Please note that we cannot delete user accounts. You can stop posting and you can edit your personal information on your account so that other users cannot contact you, but your posts, threads and username will remain on our site and in the public domain. This is why we advise extreme caution when you choose your username, and anytime you post personal information on this site. We cannot delete posts or threads, and we edit them only when the Curve Community guidelines have been breeched. This is because edits and deletions cause confusion, for instance when people read a thread where users quote and reply to posts that are no longer there.
