If you absolutely cannot ever abide by one or all of these guidelines, then each member will have to make the decision for them whether they can continue to be a member here or if this is not the place for them.


Awesome Attached Mommas

The mission of this board is to provide support to those who practice attachment parenting, and also those who are interested in learning more about attachment parenting. We are members with varying backgrounds, ideas, and beliefs. What we all have in common is a desire to parent with dignity and respect toward our children.

Our intention for this board is to be welcoming and open. So in keeping with that, we will be giving applicants the benefit of the doubt, and admitting them on the good faith that they are honest and here for the right reasons. IF problems should arise - we will deal with them accordingly, in line with our guidelines.

Individual Members

1. New members are required to post an "introduction" post in the announcements forum. Please do this before posting anywhere else.

2. We want all members to be active participants. We certainly understand that some people have more time than others, and that we all have times here and there when we have just a few minutes to sign in and catch up or we are signed in while doing other thing and can't actively post. Please keep in mind, however, that excessive lurking (signing on and reading posts but rarely responding) makes people uncomfortable.

3. Please treat all members with respect. Do not start a thread or use chat to talk about member behavior or statements that members have made in other posts. If you believe a member has posted or behaved inappropriately in a discussion, communicate directly with the member. You can do this via the PM feature.

4. Please be sensitive to the varying backgrounds and beliefs on this board when posting. Please use positive language whenever possible, and always refrain from racial slurs or other derogatory remarks.

5. AAM welcomes parents, women who are pregnant, or are trying to conceive.

6. No posts advocating physical punishment and or CIO will be tolerated.

7. No chatter related to any other message board.

8. We do understand that many of us just love to hang out in the "Cafe", but please put posts about specific subjects in their appropriate forum so that our Cafe doesn't get too jumbled. Moderators will be moving posts to the proper forums, but will leave a 'shadow' to say its been moved, and you'll still get a direct link to the thread


Community

1. This is an administrated board. Suggestions, feedback and input are always welcome through email (awesomeattachedmamas@yahoo.com) or the "Forum Guidelines" forum. Please exercise good judgement in determining whether suggestions/discussion belong in a public forum or should be handled privately through the email to preserve the harmony of the board.

E-mails should not be sent to private administrators, but addressed to the joint account only. This is being done to avoid duplication of messages and to the reduce the risk of your meesage being misinterpreted through different parties.

The administrators will address any of your concerns as soon as possible, but please allow at least 24 hours for us to respond in a thoughtful and thorough manner.


2. If you have a legitimate concern about the intentions and or character of an applicant, please do not hesitate to email us at awesomeattachedmamas@yahoo.com, and your concerns will be heard and taken seriously.


New Membership

1. If you know of someone who you believe would benefit from AAM, please let them and us know. Please e-mail us at awesomeattachedmamas@yahoo.com.

2. AAM will be giving applicants the benefit of the doubt, and admitting them on the good faith that they are honest and here for the right reasons.



These guidelines are for the betterment of our community. If a member does not follow these guidelines, it will result in the following:

A three step process:

1. Warning

2. Private PM/Email at the same time with a warning and a gentle reminder to review guidelines

3. If above nastiness/direspect continues – member will be banned.

Other reasons for immediate banning:

• C&P's from this board to anywhere else

If the administrators get a strong impression that someone is here but not keeping the board's best interests in mind, causing trouble - they will be dealt with at the time, depending on each case scenario.

Disclaimer: At some rare times in the future of the board, we might have to take some disciplinary action that there isn't already a rule for - but we trust that our members have faith that we'll do things fairly and reasonably. We cannot make a rule for everything that AAM may possibly encounter.
