LORD of Hosts Website: Discussion Groups Request Password, Part 2 Rules

The Earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof;

Discussion Group Rules

1. The Lord of Hosts Website is a service to our Lord and savior Jesus, the Christ - So we expect our guests to behave in a Godly manner. It should not be necessary to give detailed rules, however, violation of the following will result in immediate expulsion from the board:
   • NO Profanity or name calling
   • NO Personal attacks
   • NO Links to offensive material
   • NO impersonation of others (using another persons name or email)
   
   
2. Try to post your messages in a forum that is appropriate for the subject matter.
   
3. Limit posting of copyrighted material:
   • Observe copyright laws when posting copyrighted material, including material from other websites. Short message summaries and excerpts of copyrighted material may be included in a post. Posting entire articles, or chapters, is usually a violation of copyright law. If a copyrighted segment is given then give citations crediting the original author.
   
   
4. Do not post lengthy messages:
   • Limit messages to a few hundred words at most.
   • If you are replying to a message that was previously posted, try to limit the amount of text in the original message.
     • When you reply to a message, check the outgoing message text box. This box is the place on the form where your message text is entered. It may include previous messages (and sometimes every message) on this topic since the topic began... These older messages can get lengthy and slows the download. If some of the message history is obviously off-topic, we would appreciate it if you would just delete off-topic or irrelevant text. The earlier messages (the ones you are replying to) are marked off by ">>" signs, like in the example listed below:

       Since this is a reply to a previous message (also from Marc), the text of the new message is given, followed by the text of the original message that prompted this reply. Note that the original message is set off by ">>" marks. TRY TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF TEXT LISTED IN THE ORIGINAL MESSAGE (the part set off by ">>"). Readers can tell what you are replying to by reading the original message itself. Since message topics are indented in the indexed list of topics, it will be clear from the index which message you are replying to.
