Rules, warnings, infractions

Eek! I hope I don't break any rules! I appreciate very much that the rules are in place, and after reading the post I found most of them in the TOS, but where can I find out things like "what is excessive profanity" (not likely to be a problem for me, but just in case...) and "what avatar pictures are inappropriate" (have a feeling breastfeeding pictures are OK!)?

Really don't want any of these "infraction points"

I'm kinda freaked out too! I don't think I do anything that breaks terms of use, but still....

Don't get freaked out. The way it has been is the way it will be. Now you guys just know how we've been operating the last couple months. If you hadn't had a problem in the last couple months, then you shouldn't have one now.

It was just an information post for you. We have to communicate and document everything around here.

This system has been in place for a few months now (see this thread). Only the announcement is new, hehe.

Tiffany is pretty flexible about language usage and (without wanting to speak for her) I imagine that "excessive profanity" would be an over-usage of offensive terms or cussing.

As for appropriate avatars and profile images, I believe anything related to our industry is fine, just nothing blatantly obscene or unlawful.

This is why it is so important to check the Community Guidelines regularly, as they do change periodically and often without notice. Your continued usage as a member of alldoulas.com means you are held to those changing guidelines.
