PUPPY VILLAGE FORUM TERMS OF USE & CODE OF CONDUCT
Puppy Village Forum was created for members to share ideas, thoughts, and experiences in regards to dogs only. As the host of this forum, we are committed to creating a positive educational and beneficial experience for all. The posts and threads recorded in our communities are posted by individual members and may not reflect the opinions or policies of our company. These communities do not exist to foster attacks against any organisation or other members. Any attacks, personal criticisms, or threats are outside of the defined purpose of this forum and will not be tolerated.
-
Stay on topic. Good contributions help the entire community by providing relevant, insightful information or asking important questions. If your post contains anything unrelated to the topic of the forum or article, it may be removed or redirected to the correct forum for further discussion.
-
Make your subject line concise, accurate and specific. This makes it easier for people to respond appropriately and to search the archives by subject.
-
Be honest, be yourself. The community is intended to be used for the helpful exchange of information between members. False, inaccurate, or otherwise misleading information is not helpful. Please be sincere in your participation by only contributing content you know is accurate. Be mindful to respect the "closed" environment of the forum and do not forward messages to non-members.
-
Keep it clean, keep it friendly. Every post should make a positive, relevant contribution. The community is open to all points of view on the intended topics; mature, respectful, polite debate is encouraged. Attacks or cyber-bullying will not be tolerated. The communities are meant to stimulate conversation and trigger the exchange of best practices, not to create contention. Contradictory opinions are of course welcomed, but should always be thoughtful and respectful, rather than emotional, impulsive or anger-driven.
-
Keep marketing efforts separate. Respect the community's purpose by not using it as a marketing channel or submitting any content you've been paid or otherwise rewarded by a third party to write. Any marketing or sales related content will be removed immediately. Refrain from posting any sales or promotional offers, messaging, or materials for your business will not be tolerated. Members that participate in this may be banned.
-
Use the correct channels for feedback. The Forum is not the appropriate platform to resolve personal issues or start disputes against any member, volunteer, staff or organization. Posts of this nature will be redirected to the correct forum or, if necessary, removed. We ask that you submit comments or suggestions to Puppy Village info@puppyvillage.ng. Emails would be monitored and replied by staff.
-
Submit only your own, original content. Help us maintain the community's integrity and observe the intellectual property rights of others by only submitting content you have personally created or else used with permission and properly attributed. The community should not be used to distribute unauthorized copies of any copyrighted material.
-
Help look after your community. The Forum was created for the benefit, education and enjoyment of members like you. If you notice content within the community that does not abide by the Code of Conduct guidelines, please report it to us.
