Welcome to Lisa - Women's Forum; we are so happy to have you as part of our community!

To ensure a positive, respectful, and supportive environment for all members, we have established the following rules. Please read them carefully before engaging in discussions.

1. Be Respectful and Kind
Treat everyone with respect, kindness, and understanding, regardless of differing opinions, backgrounds, or experiences.
Personal attacks, hate speech, and discriminatory language will not be tolerated.
Disagreement is natural, but be constructive in your criticism and avoid hostile or inflammatory behavior.

2. Stay On-Topic
Posts should be relevant to the purpose of the forum, which is to provide a safe space for women to discuss, share, and seek advice on various topics. Please make sure your contributions align with the discussion.
For general chat or off-topic conversations, please use the designated sections of the forum.

3. Privacy and Confidentiality
Respect the privacy of fellow members. Do not share private information or personal details about other members without their consent.
While the forum is a space for open discussion, be cautious about sharing sensitive personal information that could compromise your privacy or security.

4. No Harassment or Bullying
Any form of bullying, harassment, or intimidating behavior, whether in posts, comments, or private messages, will not be tolerated.
If you encounter any form of harassment, please report it to the moderators immediately. We take these matters seriously.

5. Be Inclusive
Our community is diverse, and it's important to maintain an inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels welcome.
Please avoid using language that could exclude or marginalize others, including based on gender, race, sexuality, or other characteristics.
Embrace and respect our differences – every voice matters here.

6. Keep It Family-Friendly
Our forum aims to be a safe space for all ages and backgrounds. Please keep the language appropriate and avoid explicit content, including graphic descriptions or inappropriate imagery.
Content that is sexually explicit, obscene, or illegal will be immediately removed, and the user may be banned.

7. No Spamming or Advertising
Spamming, advertising, or promoting products or services outside of approved channels is prohibited.
If you wish to share a product, event, or service, please follow our guidelines for approved promotional posts or contact a moderator for clarification.
If you're interested in having a specific advertisement (e.g. banner) placed on our forum, feel free to reach out using the info from Contact Us page.

8. Respect Intellectual Property
Do not post content that you do not have permission to share. This includes copyrighted images, articles, music, or any other form of media.
If you are sharing content that is not your own, always credit the original source.

9. Report Issues or Concerns
If you come across a post or user that violates the forum rules, please report it to a moderator or administrator.
We rely on community members to help us maintain a safe and respectful environment.

10. Moderation and Enforcement
Forum moderators are here to ensure that the rules are followed. They have the authority to remove posts, issue warnings, or ban users who violate the rules.
Repeat or severe rule violations may result in a permanent ban from the forum.

11. Respect the Moderators
Moderators are here to maintain a friendly and safe space for all. Please cooperate with them if you are asked to change your behavior or content.
Any disputes regarding moderation should be addressed privately with the moderators or admin team.
