Welcome to the "Take Refuge Forums".
Please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with our terms and guidelines to make your stay with us a pleasant one.
We pride ourselves on being hosted by ProBoards and have willingly adopted their TOS as ours and expect every one that visits here to abide by the terms and guidelines outlined therein. There will be NO exceptions.
We here at the Take Refuge Forums have three basic rules that we incorporate in addition to the TOS of Proboards.
Rule #1. - Be yourself.
Rule #2. - Have fun.
Rule #3. - Staff and management at Take Refuge Forums reserve the absolute right to discipline any member (up to and/or including banishment from our community) that staff and management deem is in violation of the terms and guidelines of the ProBoard TOS.
We expect every member here to conduct themselves in an adult fashion while extending that same courtesy towards others.
We pride ourselves on being an open, progressive and wholly uncensored community and wish not to offend anyone in the process, but just as in real life, there must be some basic guidelines and rules.
All members are free to copy and paste material from other sources here at Take Refuge Forums except for illegal, racist and pornographic content. We ask only that you make every effort to cite references when quoting excerpts and posting articles from around the internet. This practice not only lends authenticity to the post, but avoids plagiarism as well. Failure to do so will result in having the offending post(s) removed from public view and disciplinary action initiated.
All members are free to post any and all photos/images either from around the internet or of a personal nature. ANY and ALL photos/images posted here at Take Refuge Forum shall become the property of Take Refuge Forum and shall remain here at the site and available for public viewing by all members and guests. There will be NO exceptions. We urge our membership to exercise discretion when posting photos/images and keep them to a level rated at PG-13. Please use discretion when posting photos/images of a 'personal nature'. If you don't want the membership to view it, then DON'T POST IT!
We here at Take Refuge Forum are a global community and pride ourselves on being a multi-national/multi-cultural host to our diverse membership. We are a primarily English speaking community and encourage all our members to post in English. However, all our members are free to post in whatever language they wish but we must insist that an English translation accompany any and all posts that are not written in English for the other members of our fine community to also enjoy. The staff here at TRF reserve the right to censor any and all posts written in another language that do not have an accompanying English translation and will remove them from the public view without notice.
We ask that you keep the language civil in the open boards. We do realize that everyone will not always agree with everyone else on their points of view, beliefs or thoughts on any particular subject, but strong, defamatory or threatening language (including [but not limited to] personal attacks either in the open forum or through the personal messaging system) towards any member will not be tolerated in any shape or form.
Multiple accounts (AE's) are highly discouraged and not a necessity here at Take Refuge Forums. Any member who is found to be in possession of multiple accounts will be asked to chose a primary one. Upon confirmation and cooperation by said member, ALL subsequent "puppet accounts" will be deleted.
Advertising in forum signatures and/or repeated advertising in members posts linking to off-site accounts is highly discouraged and not permissible here at Take Refuge Forums. Any member instituting this practice will be politely asked to remove any and all advertising from their signatures and/or their posts. If member is incapable of removing the advertising, our staff will be more than happy to assist.
Any member found to be in violation with these basic guidelines WILL have their posts censored and removed from the public view with disciplinary action(s) to follow, up to and/or including immediate banishment and removal from our community without warning and reported to the proper administrative authority that own and operate ProBoards.
We want every visitor here to have the best experience possible with out fear of being subject to unsolicited advertising, personal attack(s) and offensive or derogatory language.
