CODE OF CONDUCT
The following guidelines are to help all users of WhisperRoar to share opinions in a constructive manner. Editors and moderators will use these guidelines when deciding what content should feature on our site. And we reserve the right to change this policy as needs unfold.
Articles and Blogs
Articles published within WhisperRoar should be consistent with Biblical vision and values. The author should ensure to the best of their ability that information is accurate, truthful and appropriate for the intended readership.
The author should ensure that they are not infringing any copyright restrictions (on text or images) when writing content for publication.
Forums and Comments
Forums are provided as a facility for site members and visitors to exchange views and messages. All users should accept that comments made in the forums reflect not only on themselves but also on the community as a whole. Messages must not be used to bring the community into disrepute.
This is a social environment and the normal rules of social interaction apply. The remoteness of the recipients must not be used as an excuse to communicate in an anti-social manner.
Examples of unacceptable practices are:
- Inappropriate, offensive or obscene language
- Personal criticism, sarcasm or belittling of other users
- Harassment, intimidation or aggression
- Lying or giving deliberately misleading information
- Deviation from the spirit of a conversation
Users should not contribute to a topic unless their contribution is intended to further the aims of the topic.
Published messages reflect the views of the individual, not the views of the organization. However the spirit of a discussion topic should be consistent with Biblical values and vision, and discussions that are considered inappropriate for this environment may be removed.
Personal exchanges should take place directly (for example, using e-mail), not by posting to a forum.
Copying or forwarding of private information to a forum or comment posting (without the original author's explicit permission) is a breach of privacy and should not take place.
Moderators are able to remove any messages that do not meet the above guidelines
