All opinions, techniques, and methods posted at this forum are the sole responsibility of the author of said posts. Although we try to read the majority of the material posted here, we cannot verify all postings for correctness, efficacy, and safety. Please use your own judgment when following any suggestions that are posted here, and bring anything seemingly dubious to our attention.

Finally, all disputes that arise from conflicts or vagueness in these rules and guidelines are to be decided solely by the administrators and moderators. If you believe you have witnessed inconsistencies in the implementation of our polices, or you have ideas on how things can be improved, please contact an administrator.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN POSTING:

• An attack on your ideas is not necessarily an attack on you. I know it's not easy, but please keep this in mind because this is how fights break out unintentionally.
  
• When uncertain about being attacked, give the benefit of the doubt. Keep in mind how difficult it is to convey emotion over the Internet; unless it's glaringly evident that a poster means you harm, it's quite possible none was intended. (Not all of us like decorating our posts with smilies in order to take any possibly-perceived edge off.) Ask for clarification if necessary.
  
• When replying to someone in order to express your differing opinion, show respect and tolerance for that user; if you disagree with him or her, state why. Do not simply denounce the poster and ridicule his or her ideas. Keep in mind he or she likely believes with the same passion as you.
  
• Do not jump right in the middle of threads when you have absolutely nothing to contribute. Simply denouncing one's idea and adding nothing more accomplishes nothing.
  
• Do yourself a favour and STAY OUT of threads where you know you will not be able to control yourself: for example, if you believe very strongly in God, then for crying out loud stay out of a thread that says "Atheists only." Also, creators of threads should be able to limit a discussion to a particular audience (which should be stated in the title); respect that.
  
• When starting your own threads containing your own ideas, be prepared for dissent and WELCOME it; if you are unable to entertain the notion that maybe, just maybe, you're not absolutely right, then there is no room for discussion so don't even bother bringing it up.
  
• If you feel you are being attacked and need help, contact a moderator or the administration.
  
• Although the administrators and moderators of Dreamviews.com will attempt to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, it is impossible for us to review all messages. All messages express the views of the author, and neither the owners of Dreamviews.com, nor Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
