Message Board Policy

By submitting your post in the Linwood Farms HOA Message Boards, you are hereby authorizing the Linwood Farms HOA to publish content and or your name in conjunction with the post. The Linwood Farms HOA will not be held responsible for the content posted to any Message Boards page. All participants in the Linwood Farms HOA Message Boards, accept all liabilities for comments posted.

That said, we do read all comments submitted. We have considered using software to “police” the content submitted or allowing readers to flag objectionable material. We do not feel that these two solutions compare to our board and HOA committees making sure that the content is suitable for this site. It should also be noted that readers who choose to post on forums are not necessarily associated with the Linwood Farms HOA directly.

SO, what is suitable?

  • No profanity. No obscenity. No asterisks or slang that takes the place of objectionable words.
  • No name calling, insults or libelous accusations. We don’t like to see words like “idiot”, “moron” or “fascist.” We will be tolerant (to an extent) of criticisms of public officials, but we will delete comments attacking other forum members. Personal attacks on our board or members will not be tolerated. Ethnic, racial, religious or sexual slurs will be deleted.
  • Stay on point. Comments that stray from the topic will be bounced. And we tend to set the bar even higher when we have a huge flow on a certain subject and some of the sentiments seem repetitive. Try not to dominate the conversation so that other people have the opportunity to express their opinions even if they disagree with yours.
  • Don’t rage and don’t SHOUT. UPPERCASE comments are less effective in getting your points across. We prefer a more tempered conversation. We show respect, we expect you to do the same.
  • Please use your real name. You know who we are, so we would like to know who you are. If you sign your name George Bush or Hillary Clinton, we’ll in all likelihood delete it. On occasion we may send a blast email to all registered participants. If your email bounces back, we will delete the account.
  • Advertisements are not tolerated. If you want to advertise, there are areas of the site where you can do that.
  • We may alter these policies some time in the future.

The Linwood Farms HOA reserves the right to block the ability to post comments or to block abusers of these policies if need be. We may choose to terminate the blog thread if the commenting has become redundant or too abusive of these policies.
