Members can ask questions, share
experiences,
and help each other learn in a supportive chicken community here on the
Euskal
Oiloa Chicken Forum!
The following
rules are to help
things smoothly and keep the Euskal
Oiloa Chicken Forum a
friendly community-oriented board where
everyone can feel comfortable. Basically,
commonsense and treat others how
you would like to be treated! :-)
Please
* Be friendly and courteous to all members at all times.
* Be nice to newcomers and help them feel welcome.
* Be aware it is easy to misunderstand or misinterpret the written word
and what
you may perceive as offensive may be
down to poor grammar!
* Respect Moderator & admin
decisions. We aim to be fair and
reasonable, but are human
too. It can take a surprising amount of
work to keep a forum on track!
* Respect others who may have a
different political, religious, philosophical and cultural background
to yours.
* We’d really appreciate links to our forum from your sites and/or
blogs. You are welcome to put a link to
another site
in your forum signature, and there is a website section in the profile
* Have fun and learn!
Please don’t
This is a list of things you should not do on our board. Euskal
Oiloa
Chicken Forum Staff will lock or remove topics if there are posts that
are
contrary to the good of the community. If a member continues to
disregard
our guidelines they will be banned from accessing the Euskal Oiloa
Chicken
Forum.
* Swear, or use foul language, or
profanity.
* Definitely no inappropriate "Adult" topics or innuendo.
* No Flaming (verbally attacking people or groups of people - e.g. a
profession,
an organization, a company.)
* No Trolling (posting to provoke others, luring them to flame or
rant).
Trolling
is sometimes done involuntarily, so please be considerate when posting.
* No teasing, mocking, ridiculing, or otherwise making fun at other
member's
expense.
* No Fighting. Taking a personal conflict to the forum is unacceptable.
"I'm
right, you're wrong" threads and posts will be edited or deleted.
* Do not advertise your products or services outside of the appropriate
areas of
the forum or too frequently.
* Do not post overly personal information like yours or another
member’s
phone
number, address, age (especially if you are a minor) or any other
personal info
you don't want the whole world to see.

you are unsure whether a post, private message
or email should be reported, report it anyway; the moderators will
decide

exposure or make more work for the moderators. Thank
you to those who report posts needing
moderator attention. Your work improves the quality of the forums.

deleted, please do not view this as a personal attack against you by
the forum
moderators. If you believe there was an error, please send us an email
in order
to bring it to our attention. Please do not repost without first
obtaining the
agreement of the moderators otherwise suspension may follow.

Other Posting Guidelines to
make the site
easier to read!
Following these
guidelines will make the forum easier to read, and information easier
to find
and may get you better responses to your queries.
Please start
new topics in the appropriate Forum. If there is no forum for your
topic or
thread, post it in the General Discussion Forum
Please
do not post duplicate threads and if
the topic is relevant to more than one forum, pick the best fit or most
specific forum and post it only once.
We
may move some of the general discussion topics as we create new
categories as
the site grows.
Please read the
stickies before starting a new thread.
There
may be valuable information in the sticky that answers your question.
Stickies can be found at the beginning of each
category such as General Discussion.
Feel
free to recognise and draw to admin/mod attention any outstanding posts
or
links that should be stickies.
Please do
not be offended if a moderator decides that your thread is more
suitable in
another forum and moves it there.
Please be
descriptive in the subjects of your new topics and try to stay on topic
as
you post. Example: do not say "Help!", but "I'm having trouble
with whatever and need some help" You will attract members who may have
experience
with that specific area.
Way off-topic
posts maybe deleted/edited. Please try to stay on-topic. There will be
some
leniency on this, and we don't mind if you bring in another idea or
two, but
stay focused. If you think it's a good enough topic, start a new thread
about
it. Please use a title that describes the content of your post.
Remember the
best way to search for a particular item is through the “Search” button
on the top
menu. Browsing the categories can be
enjoyable
if you are not in a desperate hurry for some information, but may be
frustrating if you need something quick.
No spam -
These posts will be deleted without any warning. Spamming can also be
posting
off topic subjects that have little to do with the subject being
discussed. If in doubt, don’t post it. Thanks.
Please
post all the relevant poultry referral
links you want, we learn from others experience, whether on another
poultry
forum, blog, or website.
You are welcome to post about other chicken
breeds and homesteading areas. We want
to foster a friendly community of chicken lovers, not stifle our
natural enthusiasm
and enjoyment!
We will expand the forum
categories if these areas are posted on regularly.
