Welcome to the Growthtrac Community!
We hope you find information, inspiration, and encouragement as you connect with other Christians here.*
Participation in the Growthtrac Community message board signifies your agreement
to comply with Growthtrac.com's Discussion Standards:
Discussion Standards
1. Do not proselytize or promote other religions or belief systems. Remember
that Growthtrac is a Christian site designed to promote orthodox Christianity.**
2. Treat everyone with respect. If you disagree with someone's point of view, argue ideas rather
than attacking individuals or groups. Derogatory statements about Christian denominations,
practices, or beliefs, and individually aimed insults or threats that cause
any participant to feel discomfort will not be tolerated.
3. Stay on-topic. Be sure that your discussion relates to the subject of the
particular message board in which you participate. Growthtrac.com reserves the
right to provide message boards that best serve our mission and community.
If you wish to suggest a new chat or message board topic, you may do so by sending
e-mail to community@growthtrac.com.
4. Watch your language. Profanity, obscenities, sexually explicit language,
sexual innuendoes, vulgar or rude comments, and expressions of bigotry
are out of place here, including attempts to "mask" such words by using
initials, blanks, or asterisks.
5. Leave personal identities at the door. References to sexual identity, sexual
preference, and religious affiliations other than Christian tend to cause division
and intolerance, so we ask that discussions be kept free of such labels.
6. Do not impersonate anyone. Impersonation of official Growthtrac.com staff
or any other person is strictly prohibited.
7. Compose carefully-reasoned comments, do no scroll, and do not use oversize
fonts, JavaScript or advanced HTML commands. Be sure to think before you click:
you have only 15 minutes to revise message board posts. Also, repeatedly sending
the same or nonsensical text or using oversize fonts, JavaScript or advanced
HTML commands is prohibited.
8. Guard your (and others') personal safety and privacy. Do not post anyone's
full name, personal phone number or address. In addition, do not post private
e-mail you have received from someone else unless the author has given you
specific permission to do so.
9. Do not advertise. Commercial-type information is not allowed in Growthtrac Community.
10. Do not post copyrighted material. Instead, post URLs to Web content or cite
reference information (title, publisher, etc.).
11. Do not enter Growthtrac Community if you are under 18 years of age.
12. Treat Growthtrac.com staff with respect. Participants are expected to show respect
toward Growthtrac.com staff. Should there be a disagreement, the moderator's decision
will be final. If you feel that a staff person has treated you unfairly, you may send
e-mail to community@growthtrac.com for review.
13. Please help. Report possible violations of these Discussion Standards immediately,
include a copy of the offending post and the name and URL of chat room or message
board where it occurs, to community@growthtrac.com.
Or, simply click the Report this Post to a Moderator button.
Any action by a participant that, in Growthtrac.com's sole opinion, restricts
or inhibits other participants from using and enjoying Growthtrac.com is strictly
prohibited. Posts that violate these Discussion Standards may be removed without
notice from message boards.
