The basic ground rules for discussions on WhelpWatch are simple: be polite, use common sense, don't break the law and don't post any message that even hints at advertising your own business or products.
You are permitted a maximum of one account. If you choose to ignore this important restriction, all your accounts will be disabled.
We don't intend to censor messages based on the opinions expressed within posts, but we will enforce the policies outlined both here and on the Forum. We reserve the right to remove, modify or move posts at our discretion and without explanation. Please contact us if you do not understand any of the rules, guidelines or policies outlined below. Suspension of your account is a definite consequence of not adhering to these guidelines.
In addition to the rules posted here, you are required to read any individual forum rules which may be posted at the top of specific forums as Important threads or Announcements. By using this forum, you agree to abide by our terms of use. WhelpWatch moderators assume members have read them and will not take ignorance of any rules as an excuse for not following the rules, policies, and guidelines outlined here and in the forum specific rules.
General Forum Rules:
These rules apply to all Forum categories. ***Minors under 16 years if age are permitted to join only with the permission of their parents. Parents, please call 661 269 0603 and verbalize your permission. Minors must keep their email address invisible to the forum. Discussions on breeding could be deemed inappropriate for children. * We take the "Be Polite" rule very seriously. We do not tolerate any rudeness. Any member who is intentionally unpleasant or disruptive may be banned without warning.
* When registering, a valid email address has to be used. Disposable email addresses are not permitted. If found, we will remove the account in question.
* If you SPAM our members in any manner, your account will be disabled. Do not contact anyone regarding your kennel or dogs who is not explicitly expecting you to contact them for that purpose. If you gather email addresses from the forum and use that information to contact someone unsolicited, to promote your dogs, it's SPAM and it will affect your WhelpWatch account standing.
* Your account is yours alone. It does not belong to family members or friends. You are responsible for any activity created with it. You may not share your account login with anyone. If you choose to ignore this important restriction your account, and any accounts associated with it, will be disabled.

* You may not post on behalf of any banned member in any public manner. This includes all forums, private messages, signatures, and e-mail features.
* You may not post words or URLs that are censored by adding spaces, dots, or substituting characters; or by any other means in an attempt to defeat any censors put in place by Whelp Watch. Please contact us if you feel a word or URL is unjustly censored.
* You may not link, in any manner, to sites or images containing pornography, sexually explicit, gross violence, or are determined by moderators to be detrimental to the community.

* Any posts that encourage illegal intent will be removed and the account disabled.
* Use your own words. If you wish to use the words of somebody else, quote them, citing the source. Plagiarism is unethical and is illegal in many countries. * Public posts debating these rules and/or moderators' enforcement of such, will be removed without comment. We encourage feedback however and invite you to use our contact link if you have any questions or concerns. |
