1. COURTESY
TimeStar forum is set up for open discussion and debate. So we expect folks to stay on the topic with productive discussion. Please be considerate of the feelings of others and if you feel affronted by something that has been said, consider the many viewpoints of others. Clarify the intent and meaning of what has been said before taking offense.
2. POST YOUR OWN COMMENTS AND DISCUSSION AND ALLOW OTHERS TO DO THE SAME
Please post your own comments and discussions. Add your personal comments that explain your interest in and the importance of links, articles or papers on the work of others. In short, post your own work instead of the work done by others. If other authors would like to discuss their work on the forum, they may join the forum as a registered member in their own name.
3. SAVE BANDWIDTH
If you respond to a question or add to a discussion, please edit out just the piece that is relevant. There are two ways to do that, by either selecting and highlighting the question or by deleting the rest of the message.
4. FIX THE SUBJECT LINE
5. QUESTIONS
Please mark your subject line if you are asking a question of the forum.
6. DISCUSSION.
There will be posts that may not slot in the main topic, so don't feel that you are limited to using only one forum or topic.
7. OFF-SUBJECT POSTING
Please do not use the forum as a forwarding address for spam, chain letters, long articles, and personal promotion. If you are in doubt as to the material please send it privately to the forum moderators, or Krsanna at timestar@timestar.org. Moderators reserve the right to delete offensive posts that are not in keeping with the spirit of the forum’s purpose.
8. FLAMING
Flaming is aggravated assault on a person using posts as a weapon. It will not be tolerated. A reminder will be given in response to discourteous name calling, accusations about another’s personal condition and personal attacks the first time. A warning will be given the second time. A suspension will be placed on an individual’s subscription the third time the member resorts to name calling, makes accusations of a personal nature or attacks another member’s personal being.
