This is a reference guide!!  Here are few simple things to keep in mind while participating in our community:

DO contact our volunteer administrative team immediately at if you have issues with a member, a discussion or member comments.

DON'T post your e-mail, phone number or street address anywhere on the website.

DO use the messaging feature for private communications.

DON'T publish the same post multiple times.

DO read the New Member Guide and Our Values. They're important, and not as long or painful as you fear.

DON'T spam your community. Spamming is like flyering the neighborhood: it's impersonal, frequently self-promotional, and usually not of interest to the recipient.

DO use kind and respectful language at all times.

DON'T express judgement of the experiences, knowledge or opinions of your fellow members.

DO upload a photo to your profile page.

DON'T include links to your web site or blog except on your home page.
