Purpose:
Abehavioral covenant is an agreement, between members ofanyorganization, on how they choose to relate to one another.

As Members, we commit to:
Posting always from a perspective of Reason, Respect and Fellowship.
Support our fellow members, not seek to tear them down.
Try not to take offense, and to always seek clarification when we feel offense. Often, no offense is intended.
To give others the benefit of the doubt, until such time as our Reason no longer allows us to do so.
Agreethat anyone who registers for this forum and agrees to thiscovenant hasa right to participate here. If we have concerns about amember thatcannot be resolved through private contact with thatmember, we willtake the issue to a moderator or administrator.

Always strive to bepositive in contacts with members due to moderationconcerns. When youcan no longer be positive, that is a sign thatfurther action beyondmoderation might be necessary.
When time is not essential, we agree to discuss concerns with other moderators in the “moderators only” section.
Use the color red for any moderator alterations of posts, in order to insure they are noticeable as such.
