Site rules and information
A: Site rules
1. Don't post anything that could be taken as a personal attack, threat, derogatory comment or insult towards another student or students. Just so it's clear, this isn't about how you intend it but about how it could be read by someone quite different from you. Anything like this threatens the existence of this site. As a guideline: if you'd be uncomfortable saying it to someone's face in a class, rephrase it.
2. No weird impersonal spam. Feel free to sell your records, tickets, equipment, anything you own. But don't use this site as a platform to advertise herbal viagra or anything.
3. There's a new question on your profile page, which asks how you're related to this course. Answer it. It's getting hard for us to keep track of who everyone is. You don't need to be a student to be here, but we do need to know who you are.
4. Debate the rules and argue for changes if you want, but follow these rules until they change. If you can't abide by these, this isn't the place for you.
B: Site information
The site admin is Michael Pulsford (student). Melody Henderson (student) and Matt Tierney (graduate) are additional moderators, and can issue warnings and delete inappropriate posts and comments. Admins also have the power to remove members from the site.
Repeated inappropriate posts will be dealt with by, usually in this order:
1. A private warning and a request that you change or remove inappropriate material.
2. A public warning and/or forced deletion of material by admins or moderators.
3. Barring from the site. This will be for 4 weeks the first time; any further bans will be twice the length of the one before.
Admins and moderators reserve the right to delete first and warn later in the case of material which could damage the site's future. They also reserve the right to delete members who manage to create problems for the site faster than they can be solved.
If you're uncomfortable with a post or comment by someone who is also an admin or moderator, and you're uncomfortable discussing it with them directly or with another moderator or admin, you can discuss it with Darrin Verhagen. Darrin can communicate your concerns to the admin while keeping your name out of it if necessary.
This site is privately run. It's become the main online communication forum for a course at a university whose name I can't mention, but the university in question would like you to know they have nothing to do with this site.
