1. Be nice.
2. No offensive usernames. This includes (but is not limited to) any variation of China Doll.
3. Please do not name agencies. Please do not give hints about agencies, as that pretty much names them, too. Either email or PM agency names to Rumor Queen.
4. No discussion of illegal activities.
5. No personal attacks.
6. No commercial content or advertisements.
7. You may have one username. If you and a spouse or roommate are sharing an IP address, please notify RumorQueen ahead of time. Multiple usernames will be banned.
8. Your username and email address on the board must match your username and email address on the blog.
9. We are here to discuss adoption, not religion. There are plenty of places where that is welcome, but it is not the focus here. Please do not pull threads off topic with religious discussion, please do not try to pull people into religious debate, please do not preach to anyone.
10. While we do need to talk about politics as it pertains to adoption law, there is absolutely no reason to pull partisan politics into discussion. Do not discuss flammable politics that have no bearing on laws pertaining to adoption.
11. No spamming, no chain letters.

In a nutshell, we are a moderated, civilized, community. Please use basic courtesy, common sense, and be nice to each other. We expect there will be some debate, we expect there to be lots of agreement and disagreement. We also expect everyone to be polite to each other.

There are a few more forum rules than there are blog rules. You can view the forum rules here.

We hope you enjoy the time you spend here. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email them to RumorQueen.
