You are not expected to agree with every suggestion offered on the site, but [highlight]you are expected to respect the opinions of other members[/highlight]. Intelligent, courteous discussion is welcome and encouraged; pointless bickering is not permitted. If you disagree with posted information, post your alternative suggestion and let the matter drop. Members who cannot adhere to this will be in violation of the forum rules. It doesn't take a whole lot of effort to be civil, and we expect that out of each and every member of the site. If someone tries to bait you into an argument, be the bigger person and find another thread to read and/or contribute to.

  g. Any personal discussions should be done via Private Messaging. Private messages are to remain private, do NOT post them on the forum. If you are having issues via PM, such as harassment, please forward the PM to one of the admins.

2. No offensive/obscene/stolen photos.

  b. Making fake accounts with the intentions of being dishonest will also not be tolerated. Making a second account after a suspension/ban will result in a permanent ban from the site.

4. Please do a search before posting a question. Many of the same questions come up over and over and over. Repeatedly posting the same topic/question over and over will result in a disciplinary action. We welcome discussions, but please keep all of your similar topics in ONE post. Also, please use the stickies as a resource. They are located in sub-forums under each topic. When running a search, use the google search feature, or 1-2 keywords instead of phrases. Common words(a, an, the) are excluded from search results.



5. Spamming/advertising on the board without prior permission from board administration will be dealt with accordingly. Posts to this forum may not be used to blatantly promote competing forums/websites.

Special exceptions may be made for fostered litters being adopted out (provide a link to the shelter you work through). This also includes links to kennels/breeder's websites. You may not put a link to your kennel in your signature, on your photos, or in your profile. If caught doing so, the link will be removed and you will be warned. The second time, you will be banned. This also includes photos of PAST litters.

Thread Closures and Moves

Hi everyone,

Now that we've made this update to our site, this is something new I would like to implement.

- threads that are now closed will be moved to a private area not viewable by the community;

- us squints will discuss whether or not the thread should be cleaned up (i.e. posts edited or removed) before reopening the thread

- if we decide not to reopen the thread, you will not see it again;


Why do we close threads:

- discussions has veered off topic or is going in circles
- personal attacks (which could lead to users being reprimanded)
- questionable material

Why do we move threads:

- created in wrong area of the forums

If you have comments, feedback or questions, feel free to send me a PM.
