Group Forum Moderator Guidelines

As moderators (for now), Traxx Hathor and Frank Lardner will responsible to maintain your forum. The following are the guidelines provided to us today by Linden Labs. We expect to follow them and will appreciate your cooperation.

While Linden Lab values freedom of expression and allows a great deal of latitude in the use of the Second Life Forums, there are certain kinds of discussions that are inappropriate in this venue and that diminish the community by their presence. The following types of threads and posts should be removed immediately when encountered in the Second Life Forums:

_ Personal attacks on the character or reputation of another Second Life Resident
_ Accusing a specific Resident or Residents of Second Life Community Standards and Terms of Service violations or real-world crimes
_ Inviting or encouraging other Residents to target a specific Resident or Residents in a manner objectionable to the targeted Resident
_ Inviting or encouraging other Residents to violate Second Life Community Standards and Terms of Service or real-world laws
_ Revealing personal or real-world information about a Resident beyond that contained in the Resident's First Life Profile
_ Using hateful or derogatory language to describe a specific Resident or Residents.
_ Linking to third-party content that violates the Second Life Community Standards and Terms of Service

If we see a problem we will endeavor to edit the forum. Should our forum consistently fail to meet Second Life's Community and Forums Standards, our group's forum may be closed.

Thank you for your cooperation with this experiment.

Frank Lardner
