TotallyOz Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 We are wanting a fresh start for all members and will work in the future weeks to change several things on the site. We want to make sure that all members, both past and present, know they are welcome on http://gaythailand.com If you were once a member of the site and left us for personal reasons, we hope you decide to return. We welcome everyone in the community to participate on the site. We are working on revising the Message Center Policies. Please feel free to make suggestions. We want this site to be one that the entire community feels a part of and welcome to participate. Mission: The Gay Thailand Message Center forums are provided as a venue for the discussion and exchange of information about Thailand and other related issues. It is a place to submit queries and share experiences, information, concerns, news and views, and maybe even a little humor for the benefit of members. Responsible, non-abusive, free and open dialog is fostered between members and between members and Thai guys in support of the Gay Thailand site mission. Abusive posts shall not be tolerated. Message Center Membership: Browse access to the forums is a free benefit of Gay Thailand membership. Post access is a privilege granted to like-minded Gay Thailand members supportive of Thailand and gay experiences in Thailand. Gay Thailand membership is a necessary but not sufficient condition for Message Center post privileges. Post access is contingent upon sharing the Message Center Mission and observing the Covenant and the Code of Conduct. Failure to observe the Covenant or the Code of Conduct shall constitute cause for termination of Message Center post privileges. Egregious member conduct in external forums may give cause for Gay Thailand Message Center post-access privileges to be reviewed and revoked at the Moderator’s discretion. The determination of violations is the sole purview of the Moderators and Administrators. Message Center post privileges may be terminated without prior notice at the discretion of the Management. Covenant: The Gay Thailand Management takes very seriously the privacy of its members and recognizes the desire and in many cases the need for discretion. Posting to the appropriate forum is essential to a well-run board. If you post to a board that is not on topic, the moderators will move this topic to the correct board. The decision to move topics is the sole discretion of the moderators. There is also no discussion of underage sex. In Thailand and in most places in the world, sex with minors is illegal. Anyone that promotes sex with someone under the legal age of consent will be reported to the authorities. Thailand is a Kingdom in which respect for the Royal Family is expected. There will be no posts allowed that disparage or insult the royals. No links to pornographic websites are allowed. Posting these links will result in immediate removal of the post and disillusion of the membership of the poster. Posting personal information about members is not allowed. Personal information is any information that identifies a person or his residence or place of employment and includes but is not necessarily limited to: - first and last name - residential or business address - phone number - Social Security number - credit card number - e-mail address - Photos of subject or subject's family/friends/pets/place of residence or employment/study, automobile*, or auto license plate. - IP address Exception: A member may choose to disclose his first name in ‘signing’ his posts. Under that circumstance, usage of a first name to address or refer to that member shall not be deemed a violation of the Covenant. Without public announcement by the individual, such first name usage shall be considered a violation of the Covenant and Code of Conduct. In all instances, the Moderators shall be the final arbiters of what constitutes personal information. Code of Conduct: Gay Thailand membership is restricted to Adults Only. That Message Center members shall be expected to behave as adults is not an undue burden. The expected conduct standard for the Gay Thailand forums is the same as that observed everyday in society by adults in our neighborhoods, towns, and cities. It is based on straightforward mature behavior, civility and courtesy that you find in a neighborhood Pub or Tavern where neighbors and acquaintances joined by occasional strangers come together to socialize in good temper, to share conversation, and to hoist, in moderation, a glass of favorite beer or wine or a cup of coffee or tea. These forums are NOT presented for abusive arguing and name calling, score settling, thread stalking, or general cyberspace blood sport for the chronically bored. As in any Pub or Tavern, an egregiously abusive or chronically problematic customer (member) shall be banned from further post participation. In all instances, Gay Thailand Moderators shall be the final arbiter of what constitutes egregiously abusive conduct or when a member has crossed the line of ‘chronically problematic’. In general, terminated memberships shall not be eligible for reinstatement. Welcome Welcome to the Gay Thailand Message Center. We hope that you will find your time in attendance pleasant, informative, and from time to time maybe even a little fun. Share your experiences, comments, and questions with members of like-minded interests or with some hot hunky escorts. The Message Center is what you make of it. We hope it is put too good and effective use. Thanks for coming in. The floor is yours. The Gay Thailand Management Quote
Bob Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 Rules look fine to me and essentially look like what's occurred here before. But.....while I could be disillusioned.....I think you meant "dissolution" when referring to possible termination of a membership. Quote
Guest voldemar Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 We are wanting a fresh start for all members and will work in the future weeks to change several things on the site. We want to make sure that all members, both past and present, know they are welcome on http://gaythailand.com Dear Scooby, My posting privileges were suspended due to critisism of one of the (former) moderator of this message board. I hope (in light of your statement) you fully restore my privileges. Quote
