9) Keep the names of individuals out if possible. Even if it’s just the first name with last name initial, most everyone can tell who it is.

If asked who individual in question is, use your best judgment in revealing whom. Regardless, we all have our personal bias that could translate very negatively in print. Avoids any unnecessary gossip that may or may not occur or someone calling up you know who and getting chewed out.

Rule of thumb for commenting on people, positive comments is always encouraged. Negative comments are frowned on. Inconsequential or irrelevant notes of people (ex. Elder So-in-So was in the front row) should normally be left out. But use your best judgment.

10) Medical History: Please do not discuss the personal Medical History of another individual. This is often a private issue amongst a family. You may discuss your own or a close family member's only.


11) Enjoy the forums. Don't take everything too seriously. If you are a very sarcastic individual, it is advised you type /sarcasm at the end of the statement. Above all, have fun and enjoy the community.
