Rule 1: Obey the rules

Like any community, forums are most valuable when everyone obeys certain basic guidelines and rules for online behavior. These guidelines and rules are presented here so that you know what is expected of you and what you can expect from others. Please help keep the The Harmony Lounge a clean and friendly community. If you are new to the forums and are unsure about anything, just ask. If you are an old hand and see new participants joining the forums, please welcome them and feel free to help them find their way.

Rule 2: Be friendly and courteous

Respect each other at ALL times. We want our online community to be friendly, informative, and an enjoyable experience for all of our members. Please make sure that you contribute to it. Please do not post anything harassing, threatening, abusive, lewd, or inflammatory. Flaming people, products, or organizations is never acceptable and neither is trolling. Instead, be friendly, helpful, and supportive. We reserve the right to remove any material that does not comply with our rules without prior warning or further explanation. We also reserve the right to ban, restrict, or revoke posting privileges at our discretion and without warning.

Rule 3: Be relevant

Please stay on topic. These forums are provided to enable members to help and learn from each other in sharing their passion for wellness, fitness, and holistic living. We have provided a General Discussion area for off-topic discussions and banter.

Rule 4: Be legal

Please do not post anything unlawful, libelous, defamatory, or that infringes upon any intellectual property rights. Do not conduct any activity that may be illegal or harmful in any way. Members like you contribute the content of these forums. However, The Harmony Lounge is not responsible for it nor do we in any way guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, legality, or completeness of any such content. The Harmony Lounge is not responsible for the content of any post made here nor do we necessarily share the author's views. We are not responsible for any consequences incurred by practicing or using any content posted here. We accept no liability or legal consequences that may arise from posts made in any area where a member can add content. We retain the right to remove any and all posts for whatever reason without notice.

Rule 5: No spam

Please do not use the forums in any way to promote third party services, products, websites, or organizations. Do not mass email members of this site the same message for commercial purposes. Do not include links to porn, morally or legally questionable sites, or other forums in your signature. Any signature or avatar deemed objectionable by The Harmony Lounge will be deleted without notice.

Rule 6: No soliciting

Do not use the forums to ask for services/products or to offer your services/products to others unless otherwise stated in specific forums.

Rule 7: No fighting

NEVER fight on the board. If you or someone you know is involved in a fight on another board, keep it there. This is a place of joy and relaxation. Do not post any topic or start a thread that may disrupt the peace and harmony of this forum. Along the same line, do not create meaningless threads/posts with the sole purpose of starting a dispute. It is strongly recommended that members try to sort disagreements amongst themselves. If the dispute is still unresolved, then you should contact a Moderator or Administrator.

Do not send harrassing PMs, make inflammatory remarks, and/or questionable avatars or signatures. We reserve the right to edit or delete any material that may be deemed to be inappropriate or offensive to other posters without warning. We respect diversity and differing opinions, but we ALL know what is considered universally inappropriate behavior. Do not flame, harass, bash, abuse, or make threats to any person, any company, or any group. Content that is unlawful, obscene, mischievous, vulgar, profane, racially or religiously discriminating, or otherwise objectionable is not permitted, even if masked. Insulting and defamatory language and personal attacks are not permitted not even in PMs.. Perpetrators will be banned immediately without notice. Post your opinion in a polite way and let others do the same. If a post offends you, simply do not reply to it. If you feel that you are being personally attacked, demeaned, or insulted even in a tongue-in-cheek way, contact a Moderator or an Administrator. If your sole purpose is to troll the boards and start a flame war, then you came to the wrong place. Trolling is not cute, funny, nor will it be tolerated. Trolling is grounds for immediate, irrevocable banning.

Rule 8: Be considerate

Avoid double posting or cross-posting of the same message in multiple forums. Please be considerate of other readers and stay on topic. No copying and pasting or screenshotting is allowed. If a person is banned, it's because he/she earned it and has lost all rights and privileges to the contents of this board. Any member found violating this rule will be banned immediately without notice.

Rule 9: Check rules often

It is your responsibility to stay up-to-date with the forum rules as they are subject to be updated.

That being said, we are a laid back community of people whose main goals are the attainment of peace, education, friendship, and good clean fun. The rules were implemented to protect our community and our peaceful haven here on the web.
