The forum was created for a place to enjoy and learn with each other.  

In that light I agree to the following rules:

1) No bashing of anyone, or any topic, for any reason. Differences of opinion are going to happen, and I have two choices, either do not voice my opinion, or do so respectfully. The phrases 'I think', 'I feel', and 'IMO' (in my opinion) are encouraged. Amazing how this changes the tone of the conversation.

2) What is said on this board remains on this board. PERIOD! I agree that I will not name names, or drop hints as to anyone's identity anywhere else while discussing any topics that we discuss here.

3) NO PRIVATE EMAILS OR PRIVATE MESSAGES WILL EVER BE POSTED ON THIS BOARD OR ANYWHERE ELSE, WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL OF THE AUTHOR AND THE BOARD OWNER, PERIOD!

4) NO POSTS MAY BE COPIED FROM THIS BOARD UNLESS IT IS CLEARLY AND SPECIFICALLY STATED THAT THERE IS PERMISSION TO CROSS POST IN THE BODY OF THE ORIGINAL TOPIC POSTING.

5) I will introduce myself within 48 hours of being approved. This will either be on the introductions thread, or to the owner of the board. I understand that lurking is NOT the preferred mode of membership here.

6) Listing of my kennel, website or other business is ONLY for active members of the community, listings will be removed periodically.

7) Advertising of litters will only be done in an educational manner, there will be additional rules for this.

I agree to these rules, and will copy this thread, initial each item, and then send to the board owner, or make a post with my agreement below.

We want to welcome you to the Mastiff Family Forum!!!
