Private Messaging Etiquette & Guidelines
Private Message is a way to correspond with an individual member without publicly displaying your conversation. Private Messages are private & confidential conversations between two members.
To maintain privacy:
1. Don’t forward another person’s PM onto another member or some other third party.
2. If you receive a general forward or article be aware that these are usually covered by copyright and should not be passed around via PM.
How to deal with unwanted Private Messages
1. Ask the member to stop PMing you. If they are seeking off-topic counsel refer them to a face-to-face counselor such as their local pastor.
2. Ignore any further PMs from that member
3. If the member persists in PMing you please notify a moderator.
The Discussion Forum is non commercial…not the place for businesses or vendors to advertise or promote their resources. If you receive an unsolicited PM that does not uphold these guidelines, please inform a moderator/administrator.
