General Forum Etiquette

• Debate and healthy discussion is encourage (in their appropriate forum, of course) but rudeness is totally not acceptable at BW. Should you feel the need to express yourself in any of these forms: insulting comments, racial remarks or slurs, ageist posts (comments targeted against members because of their age), personal attacks or hate inspired comments, arguing over insignificant trivialities - understand that staff reserves the right to remove offensive posts without notice.
  

• As this is a forum of authors wishing to share their work, members and guests are encouraged to post general comments in the Author's Portfolio area, (unless an author specifically asks for something beyond that).

• Spamming and or Trolling is not allowed in this forum. This includes, but is not limited to: Email, Personal Messages, or comments in any BW forums. Please help keep the varied forums clean and easy to maneuver by not muddying the treads with 'off topic' banter. Members, please refer yourselves to: the Author's Private Chat Guests may open a new topic for discussion in our Guest Open Forum
  

• Quoted From Wikipedia: Spamming is the abuse of electronic messaging systems to indiscriminately send unsolicited bulk messages. While the most widely recognized form of spam is e-mail spam, the term is applied to similar abuses in other media: instant messaging spam, spam in blogs, and Internet forum spam.

• Including your personal website URL in a comment or message in this forum might be considered Spam, and subject to removal at the discretion of staff.
  

• Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES, will PLAGIARISM be acceptable in this forum. It will result in immediate account termination.

• Your personal website address may be listed in your Personal Profile. If you are unsure how to access your profile, please contact a staff member who will be more than happy to assist you.
  

IMPORTANT A:

• Please refrain from minuscule one or two word comments to fellow contributors work. Our authors put an effort toward their work and deserve better.
  

IMPORTANT B:

• Please strive for neatness while sharing your work in this forum. Avail yourselves of every means to present your work free of spelling errors and proper word choice and usage.

• This is an English-as-first-language forum. If you post in a different language, please provide an English translation of your post.
  

• While these rules cover most common situations, they cannot anticipate everything. We reserve the right to take any actions we deem appropriate to ensure these forums are not disrupted or abused in any way.
  

We reserve the right to remove/ban any account holder or guest who purposely violates this forum's rules.
