Thanks to Alastair for these rules, I have adapted them slightly to fit in with this site, and with all due respect to Alastair, fixed the typo's. :)

=========================================================
This site adheres to the principle of free speech with dignity. This means, you can say what you like without fear of banishment provided you respect other peoples views, privacy, feelings and situations. In some cases, this "condition" will be unavoidably breached in minor ways, in most cases, this will be overlooked for minor infractions.


Like all ordered societies we try to live within a few simple guide lines.

Hopefully following them will help us all gain much more from the CYFStalk experience.

1) Avoid personal attacks on other site members.

2) Avoid excessive use of abusive or foul language (except where you are
quoting something or where you feel it is absolutely necessary)

3) Respect other site members' views and opinions. You don't have to agree with everything (or anything) that is said, and you are welcome to post rebuttals, but with respect other people's views.

4) You must NOT pass any other list member's posting to other parties outside this list without obtaining permission by the persons concerned. The exception to this is when the posting is from a public source, but it can only be passed on when ALL identifying details have been removed. Naming children or in any other way identifying them is an absolute No No. For example, quite often members re-post from other sources such as news sites, and there are often times where it would be appropriate to forward this information to others.

If any rule is not adhered to staff may warn you or banish you from the site without notice, either for a cooling off period (preferred) or permanently.

If you wish to make a complaint about another site member, please PM any moderator or admin. Complaints MUST be sent by PM, and not by posting to the site itself. Your complaint will be reviewed and action taken only if it is warranted. Any action, if deemed necessary, is at the discretion of
the staff, and the staff may choose to do nothing.

The staff’s decision is final.

A wise man once said, rules are made for the guidance of wise men and the obedience of fools..
=========================================================

Additional site rules and guidelines as added by Kiwi1960

5) No spam is allowed on the site. For those that do not know, spam is adverts for porn sites or scam sites, or anything else of a commercial nature. Security is in place to prevent "non human robots" from joining the site and automatically posting adverts. Offenders, both Bots and Human, will be banned instantly, their IP's banned, the sites they come to advertise being added to the censor and the SPAM COPS website being informed.

6) No advertising of websites allowed EXCEPT where it is necessary to the advancement of your point of view, for example, when discussing the CYFS act, it would be permissible to post a link to the relevant act so others can check it out.

7) Impersonation and Identity theft is forbidden, if found out, you WILL be reported to the Police. Also, impersonating any official, such as a social worker, Police officer or anything else along those lines is also forbidden, again, you will be reported to the Police.

8) Gaining access to the site to steal Email addresses for purposes of spamming will result in an instant ban.

9) Joining this site with the intention of forming a sexual relationship with another person is also forbidden (we have had problems with this is the past) Also, joining the site with the sole purpose of stalking another person is will result in an instant ban.

10) Misrepresenting your circumstances is also punishable by an instant ban. If you pretend to be a parent fighting CYFS and come here for help, but in reality, you are a CYFS social worker will also result in a ban. We also reserve the right to lay a complaint with your employers over your unprofessional conduct and pass you details onto the media and allow them to name and shame you.

11) Divulging another persons private details, whether real or not, whether protected by court suppression orders or not, will result in an instant ban.

This site will never judge a person arriving here asking for help based on any financial, race, colour, creed, religion, gender or criminal past basis. We ask that you also please do the same, and not judge a person. God forbid that CYFS does that enough times already, why do it again to ourselves.

Thank you for your co-operation.

========================================================

Site Privacy Policy (S.P.P.)

This site will NEVER sell, rent, loan, divulge or give your Email address to any other site, person or agency. We will however, from time to time, send you Emails which has a bearing on why this site exists.

This site will NEVER divulge your personal details to ANY agency, even if they have a court order, even under threat of contempt of court, in fact, not under ANY circumstances.

However, if you reveal your personal Email address in a public message, which can lead to you being identified, this site and its staff cannot and will not accept any liability. The same goes for any other personal details which leads to your being identified.

This site and its staff cannot be held liable if any of your actions impact on your personal security or privacy, however, we will endeavour to do our best to keep everyone on this site safe, but if you do anything or post anything before we can intervene, then we cannot and should not be held liable.

This site employs a suite of security measures to protect the site from hacking or email harvesting bots, but nothing is 100% secure, in the unlikely even that the site security measures fail, you agree not to hold this site or its staff liable.

We, the staff, promise to do our best to keep our members safe and make your stay here beneficial to your struggle for justice, but we cannot live on the site 24 hours a day to keep you safe. We ask you to use your own common sense at all times.

We are all here for the common good, please try to be 100% honest in your dealing with other members of this site, otherwise mistrust creeps in. We will achieve nothing under the clouds of mistrust.

Updates to these rules, conditions and the S.P.P. may be made at any time.

Removed this part;

This site believes that any person convicted of a crime and served his or her time, is worthy of a second chance, further, that they have paid their debt to society and no one has the right to persecute them or hound them into submission. Remember, Nelson Mandela was convicted and now he is the father of the modern South Africa. Everyone deserves as many chances as it takes in order for them to make a worthy contribution to the community.

and replaced it with this;

This site will never judge a person arriving here asking for help based on any financial, race, colour, creed, religion, gender or criminal past basis. We ask that you also please do the same, and not judge a person. God forbid that CYFS does that enough times already, why do it again to ourselves.

New rules and expectations.

Please try and keep this site active by handing out advice ON SITE, please do not move it to TXT messages or phone calls or anything else of that nature.

The risk is that by giving out your phone number, you expose yourself to the crazies out there... anyone remember "Posie"?

But also, if all help is posted HERE, then we do not have to repeat ourselves all the time, anyone new to the site can read old messages and possibly find some of the help they need....

if its all done by phone calls, then we will forvever be helping people when the time could be devoted to fighting CYFS and, for example, setting up the trust.

Please do NOT hand out your phone numbers or Email addresses... or any other contact information.

The only exception to this rule is myself and Alastair, who from time to time hand our phone numbers out when we think it warrants it.

lets make this site a real self help site.... the more help we post now, the more people we help in the future without having to say a word... :)
