Community Guidelines

As an online community of passionate, intelligent and experienced folks, we host a variety of diverse opinions. We welcome this diversity, and ask that all our members adhere to these simple guidelines:

Play Nice.

This should be pretty self-explanatory, but if not, it means:

  • Do not post content that is deliberately hostile and insulting.
  • Do not post content with the intent of provoking an angry response.
  • Do not post content containing commercial solicitations. (User name may not be that of any kind of commercial entity. Tags may not refer to commercial entities.)
  • Do not post content containing personal attacks, hate speech or bigotry.
  • Do not post content containing sexual advances or solicitations.
  • Do not post content that contains frontal nudity or explicit sexual activity. You may post such content in your Scrapbook provided your profile privacy setting is marked as "Only my Friends can see my Profile."
  • Do not "bump" discussions. Bumping is when one member repeatedly posts to a thread in which there is no other activity.

Be Safe.

Please keep certain personal information to yourself. For your own safety, we ask that you don't give out credit card numbers, social security numbers, telephone numbers, addresses, passwords, or driver's license numbers to strangers online. To protect yourself from spam, don't post your e-mail address publicly.

Promote in the Right Place.

We encourage you to share information about your business or organization with the TeeBeeDee community, however, we ask that you do this in your TeeBeeDee profile, NOT in discussions or group descriptions. Your profile name or image may not be a commercial name or solicitation. You may post links to your profile in discussions (or just ask members to click your profile picture in any post), but we ask that the content of these discussions remain non-commercial in tone. If you would like to start a group to promote your business, please contact advertising@tbd.com so it can be properly labeled.

Have fun!

We appreciate your compliance with these guidelines. While we are devoted to free speech, we reserve the right to remove posts that do not respect these guidelines or that detract significantly from our users' experience on the site. Breaches to any of these guidelines could result in the loss of your posting privileges. The first infraction will result in a warning; the second infraction could result in a temporary or permanent loss of posting privileges.

If you have any questions, or to report any infractions, please contact Kat Brennan, TeeBeeDee's Community Guide.
