At the Senior Information &
Assistance Caregiver Journal Site, we take great pride
in building and maintaining an online
community that acts as a source of support for caregivers. A space
where the daily accounts of the trials and tribulations as well as
the successes and satisfaction of caregivers can be shared in a diverse,
intelligent and respectful dialog. The following Community
Standards outline what we feel are appropriate guidelines to
preserve the highest quality online experience. Thanks for
doing your part in helping to keep the Senior Information
& Assistance Caregiver Journal Site a great
place where caregivers connect.
By using The Caregiver
Journal Site, you automatically signify your agreement with the
following Community Standards and Terms of Use
General Principles
We expect that all users of the Senior Information & Assistance
Caregiver Journal Site will
behave in a way that reflects the respectful nature of this
site. We’re a community of people from different backgrounds
and with different perspectives on life. We expect our
members to respect that at all times and make a sincere effort
to contribute their thoughts in a meaningful and respectful manner.
Posting to a journal is completely optional; many prefer to
just read what others have to say.
The following categories of online
conduct are unacceptable and constitute a violation of our Community
Standards which may result in warning and suspension of
journalling privileges:
-
Harrassment
… Harassment occurs when a member insults, attacks, and
denigrates another member at any time. Though we realize that
discussions can get intense, we have zero tolerance for taking any
communication to an insulting level. For instance, the use of
terms such as "idiot, moron, stupid" and other derogatory terms
constitutes harassment. Repeated critical and sharply
negative posts towards community members can also constitute
harassment.
-
Vulgarity and Sexual Explicitness
…As a community with a
diverse variety of members and readers, we ask that our members to
post without using vulgarity. Vulgarity not only includes vulgar
language and pictures but also sexist, racist, anti-religious and
homophobic language which may offend other members. In addition,
the "masking" of vulgarity by inserting * or another keystroke in
place of one or more letters in a vulgar term is unacceptable in
most cases. We realize that there's a "grey area" of judgement
with vulgarity but we ask that you'll respect others by avoiding
vulgarity.
-
Solicitation… Refrain from
using the Caregiver Journal Site to advertise your site, items for
sale, commercial services or website. You may attach a short link
to your site within your profile or signature.
-
Copyrighted Material
…You may post links to
appropriate articles but posting articles from other sources in
their entirety is a violation of our Community Standards. Use your
best judgement, since you agree in the Terms of Use to be held
legally responsible for your own posts on this system, but if you
must repost quotes or sentences, please credit the
source.
Please bear in mind
that these are only guidelines; there is always a "grey area" and we
understand that. Use your best judgment. If you have any questions
about our Community Standards as they apply to specific cases, you
can always
