American Brugmansia & Datura Society, Inc Membership Forum Guidelines

To make your joining our forums as easy as possible and to be clear about how we maintain the integrity of our online community, we’ve listed some points below, please read and agree to honor them before joining us at the forum.

You are welcome to e-mail the administrator for help at admin@abads.org any time you have difficulties or complaints. We watch over the forum and want everyone's experience here to be valuable, both to themselves and to all of us.

When posting, we ask that if you disagree with what is written and choose to respond, that you do so with kindness and consideration. This can be done most effectively with "I think" and "I feel" statements. Respect for each other’s opinions is an essential part of our virtual community.

Please note, if you have a conflict with another member in the forum(s) please do not send them an angry email, instead please send all complaints to the administration. Likewise, if any member gets an angry email from another member, please forward it to the administration. If any member has a complaint or concern or comment, they are welcome to send admin an email query; it is against guidelines to air your complaints at the forum for the purpose of creating disharmony. Violation of this guideline is cause for banning.

All information shared in the forum is for educational purposes and no one sharing advice is to be held responsible. ABADS does NOT assume liability for the activity of members nor information being shared on this forum space.

Any flaming, trolling, spamming in the forum or inclusion of links to pornographic sites will result in BANNING.

When choosing a user name, some people feel more comfortable using a fictional name rather than their real name, as anonymity may allow for more freedom in sharing while still preserving each member's personal need for safety and privacy. Should you wish to change your e-mail address on file, please send an e-mail to admin@abads.org

You have the option to subscribe to individual topics, and whenever there’s a new post, you’ll receive a brief email notification. Please know that if the topic you subscribe to is very active, you will receive many e-mails a day.
