Forest Mgmnt Rules:
OK. I really hate to do this, but it seems a necessary thing that must be done. These rules will also be posted on the side boards. Please be aware I am not singling anyone out. This just needs to be put in writing.
Chat:
When you enter chat and there are already 2 bronze hammies, plz drop yours. If you do not, I or someone else will drop it for you. This is to make sure the members are not overwelmed with the "power" issue. Remember we are not about throwing our weight around. We are about oneness and learning and being able to express ourselves in a positive manner.
If you are teaching that night, ask another manager to drop theirs. You as a teacher must hold a hammy.
When a class or ritual is in progress, your responsibilities are very marked. If you hold a hammy you ARE responsible for greeting new comers in chat IN WISPER. This is to insure that the class or ritual is not disturbed or disrupted. If you must be away from your puter or are multi-tasking (which I understand happens ), then you must allow someone else to hold the hammy in the room. Please pass your hammy to someone who can fulfill the responsibility.
Please, if you must be in your cuppie in chat, then pass your hammy to a mgr or host that is present in chat to monitor. There will be no holding a hammy while you are in your cup.
House Rules:
I am the only one to allow someone entry into Forest from now on. If you see an application and want a say on if they are allowed in or not, please email me and give me your opinion. I will let all applications sit in queue for three days. If I do not hear from you, I will make the decision on what I feel is best. I will not come to you to ask.
We do not accept members in on a "so n so said this was a good place" anymore. Entry will depend on their own merit.
There is to be NO flaming on the boards!!! Not even by managers. I will delete the post or another manager will. Lets keep our Forest unmarred by fire. This means you do not slam fellow mgrs or teachers or allow anyone else to do so. There will be no arguments or bashing on the boards either. If you have a problem with how things are conducted, please contact me. Do not air your gripes or bad will on the boards! It is not tolerated by me from mgrs or members. If you find a post a "fire hazard ," please delete it fully. Do not leave a "deleted by management" message on the boards.
Under no circumstances will any form of sexual harrassment be tolerated here in Forest. Be it by manager or member, that person will be banned for life.
Finally... this last statement to you all. Holding a Hammer or Mgr. position in Forest is not a badge of honor, a friendship gimmie, or any other bragging right. It is a job just like any other. It means I think you have the responsibility to teach and help me with this wonderful site that has grown to become one of the best, (in my opinion), online Pagan teaching sites on the web. I WILL NOT PLAY FAVORITES!! I expect you to act like responsible adults and follow these rules I have set down. If you feel you cannot handle the responsibility then please have the good will and love and light to step down. This is not a popularity contest. And if I must choose who is over who, I will. It will break my heart to set those lines because I consider you all equal in my eyes. Please do not make me choose.
(Please NOTE our chat is diff now you all hold admin responsibilities please use them wisely.)
With much love and light,
