Community Guidlines

The Women of Faith online community is made available as an online environment for encouraging and uplifting discussions about Women of Faith, our events and resources.

Think Before You Type She opens her mouth with wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness. Proverbs 31:26

You are welcome to express your opinions freely. However, it is not in our nature to be critical of others, and we reserve the right to remove posts that we deem to be disparaging.

Please note that comments you post are considered available for public consumption. Public means anyone with Internet access, not just other Women of Faith. Even men occasionally read and contribute to our discussions. Please remember that we are communicating without the benefit of body language and voice inflection. Words can sometimes be misinterpreted. Others may quote your remarks. While you’re at it…

In your use of these forums, you agree that you will not post any information which is vulgar, harassing, hateful, threatening, invading of others privacy, sexually oriented, or violates any laws.

Stay Safe
We strongly recommend that you do NOT put your address or telephone number on forums or in groups. While groups of Women of Faith members frequently make plans to meet at events and other get-togethers (and apparently have a great time!), please use caution. You don’t know who might be out there eavesdropping on your conversation. That being said…

Don’t Be Afraid to Join In
If you're new to our online family, taking that first step to post to can sometimes seem intimidating. Don't be afraid to jump in. We have a very supportive community that serves up heavy doses of support, encouragement and enthusiasm. But if you’re not quite ready to speak up…

Feel Free Just to Listen
You’re welcome to just listen in, read messages and enjoy the lively conversation. One hint: If you do decide to start talking…

No "Bumping" Please
Please do not post random replies in order to "bump" yours or another to the top. Bumps are subject to deletion.

Please Don’t SHOUT
Typing in all capital letters LIKE THIS is considered SHOUTING online. Some find it rude, and it is difficult to read. Many people don’t realize this, so if you read a post that’s a little too loud, don’t take offense. In fact, people may occasionally say or do other things you don’t agree with, so please…

Agree to Disagree
We are part of God’s family, and like any family there will be times when we don’t agree. Please be sensitive to others’ beliefs. You are certainly free to express your opinion but please keep your comments relevant to the subject being discussed and not about the person who offers a differing opinion than your own. And while we value your opinion…

Once Is Enough
Please do not post the same message more than once on a message board. Duplicate messages can be frustrating for other visitors, especially for those whose time and energy is limited. We ask that you keep all posts to a maximum of 5 pages. After 5 pages, they are subject to be deleted without notice. Should a topic go on for more than 5 pages, please continue with another post.

No Advertising - Means No Advertising.

Please don't pollute the community with advertising of any sort.

Respect Copyrighted Information

Information that is copyrighted or owned by any individual or entity other than the person posting should not be posted in the community without the consent of the owner. Including the copyright information from a book or Web site is not sufficient. 'Consent of the owner' means specific, written permission to post the information on the Women of Faith Community. We appreciate that devotions or messages from other organizations may bless you, and you want to share them with others - but copying them into a post is not the way to do that. If this occurs, the individual posting the information shall be held solely responsible. Women of Faith, Inc. shall not be held responsible for posted information that may violate copyright law. And speaking of legal matters...

The Fine Print
Opinions expressed in this community do not necessarily represent those of Women of Faith, Inc. or Thomas Nelson, Inc. Women of Faith is not responsible for and does not guarantee the accuracy of statements posted in this online community.

Women of Faith reserves the right to remove a post that does not relate to the topic being discussed in the folder or on a specific forum. Women of Faith also reserves the right to prohibit or delete messages that are thought to violate applicable law or that may be harmful or hurtful to others. That said, Women of Faith does not have the practical ability to restrict conduct or communications that might violate Women of Faith Guidelines prior to transmission on the Internet, nor can we ensure prompt removal of offending message board posts. We will do our best to monitor the community and to enforce these community guidelines.

Speaking of enforcement, though we hate to go to this extreme, should you violate these guidelines or those of the Official User Agreement, we reserve the right to delete your postings and/or permanently remove your ability to post to our community.

Women of Faith, Inc. reserves the right to modify these Terms of Use at any time and you agree to be bound by such modifications through your use of Women of Faith’s site.
