but to make sure that everyone enjoys the features in

|
| Terms of use for forums:
|
thebabywebsite.com's
decision is final!
thebabywebsite.com
can delete or edit messages as we deem necessary. This
is at our discretion completely! It is for your benefit
and is necessary to ensure that the forums stay friendly,
fun, supportive and safe.
Posting a message to our discussion forums will be read
as your acceptance of these rules. You should make sure
that you are aware of your legal responsibilities when
using our forums. Should you decide to break these rules,
it will lead to the removal of your message and possible
restrictions to your future use of the site.
Conversely, if you find any messages breaking these
rules, please let us know. 1. Do not 'flame' or personally
insult another user. Please do not use our discussion
forums to harass, threaten or attack anyone, or behave
in any way that would cause annoyance or distress to
other users. Please use tact when posting in a forum
where extra sensitivity is required.
2. Commercial messages and messages from businesses
or organisations are not permitted. These forums are
for use by parents and parents-to-be. They are not to
be used for marketing or selling to our users.
Journalists and researchers must not post requests for
participants on our forums. For permission to post any
requests, please email us beforehand.
3. You may not insult or put-down thebabywebsite.com,
including any of its employees, moderators or freelancers.
You may not post the contents, either in part or whole,
of any email that you receive from any of our employees
or moderators without our prior permission.
4. Do not post messages more than once. This is sometimes
called 'flooding'. Duplicate messages can be both time-consuming
and very frustrating.
5. Do not labour a point after a thread concerning the
same point has been removed or has run its course
6. Do not behave in any way that disrupts the flow of
an ongoing discussion, or that can spoil the atmosphere
within the forum.

or recruit members for any 'network marketing' businesses.
8. Do not collect or distribute personal data concerning
other members without first obtaining our consent and
that of the members concerned.
9. Do not use the forums to complain about thebabywebsite.com.
If you are dissatisified about something, please email
us directly.
10. Do not use the forums to buy or sell goods.
11. Do not recruit our members to join another website
forum or chat group, either personal or otherwise. Adding
a link to a specific personal website that is totally
relevant to both your posting and the forum topic is
permitted in certain circumstances. (see examples of
allowable/non allowable links) If you have a suggestion
for a new forum, please contact our administrative team.
If you are approached to join another group or site
as a result of your membership or posts on our forums,
please advise us.
12. We actively encourage the exchange of information
on the forums, and adding an appropriate link to your
post is invited. However, obvious promotion of, or inappropriate
links to, other known commercial parenting websites,
or any forum or chat groups is not permitted and these
will be removed .(see examples of allowable/non allowable
links) If you are not sure whether a link or posting
is allowed, please ask us.
An ‘appropriate link' is one that is totally relevant
to both the posting and the forum topic.
A ‘commercial' site is one which is funded or
supported in any way by a profit making business.
'Any forum or chat group' includes anywhere on the web,
regardless of site or subject.
13. We encourage a healthy exchange of opinions and
disagreements are of course allowed! You can, by all
means challenge an opinion – but please do it
in a respectful manner. Calling people names, insults
and foul and abusive language will not be tolerated.
This includes the use of offensive nicknames and usernames.
14. Be certain that you really want to give information
which is personal before you post a message. Remember
that anyone will be able to read it. Despite this, we
respectfully ask you to use a proper name when posting
to the forums, and retain that name when posting. If
there is someone already posting with the same name,
please alter your name to avoid confusion.
15. Although this site is an international site, we
ask you to make your postings in English so that they
can be understood by other site members and our moderators.
We apologise, but we won't allow members to post in
a language other than English.
16. thebabywebsite.com aims to promote its site
globally. We may do this by quoting your discussion
board messages in newsletters, throughout thebabywebsite.com,
in books, newspapers, radio and television programmes.

by your member name. We promise to be discreet and sensitive
when doing this. We will not republish anything that
we feel could be deemed personally endangering, inflammatory
or embarrassing to you without your prior consent.

their name, address, email address, telephone number

to accompany you.
• Always inform a person
you trust of your movements, when, where and who are
you meeting.
• Always meet people you don't
know in a public place of your choosing.

connection.

has the potential to be downloaded and saved by the

It is not possible for thebabywebsite.com or
indeed any website to entirely prevent this from happening,
so if you are worried about someone else viewing or
saving your images then you should not submit them.

has been used in an inappropriate manner then you should
contact us immediately.
Watermarking

have a watermark embedded in them, containg your username
