Forum Terms of service

The moderators of this forum will try hard to edit or remove reprehensible messages as soon as possible. However, it is impossible for them to review all the messages. You thus admit that all the messages posted on this forum express the sight and opinion of their respective authors and not those of the moderators or the Webmaster (except messages posted by them) and consequently, they cannot be held responsible of the discussions.

This forum is only for women over the age of 18. If you are under 18 and wanting to link in with your community go to www.freedom.org.au (a safe space for young people under 26) and check out the forum.

There are a few rules you must follow when you visit the WA Women On Women Forum. Please take time to read and understand these rules. Members who violate these Community Rules may be removed from the WA WOW Forum community, at GLCS’s sole discretion.

1) Treat everyone with respect. This is a safe space.
Respect all people and groups (both within WA WOW and generally) - including yourself. You don't have to agree with everything everyone says, but if you do have a disagreement, be respectful! Treat others as you want to be treated. Don't post comments that are disrespectful towards yourself or anyone else.

2) For the purpose of online safety, we recommend that you don’t post your personal contact details on the forums, and restrict them to Private Messages only.

3) No hateful posts, or bullying allowed.

Do not insult, abuse or harass others. Attacks, bullying or insults to other people or groups are not allowed.  WA WOW is a safe space. Also remember that type doesn’t show sarcasm, make sure that what you say couldn’t be taken badly by anyone at any time (perhaps stating that you are using a *sarcastic tone* could be an alternative where necessary).

4) GLCS do not intend WA WOW to be a dating site – there are other places such as Pinksofa.com which provide an online arena for dating. GLCS hope WA WOW provides an opportunity for same sex attracted women in WA to build a sense of community that can provide support and information in a safe social space. It’s a chance to meet others who have similar experiences to our own.

No one should feel pressured or ‘preyed upon’ by anyone in WA WOW. If someone says something that makes you feel uncomfortable or asks you out in a WA WOW space, say no assertively. If they do not stop, contact admin@glcs.org.au to report the individual.

5) The responses to your posts are just suggestions and opinions, not definitive instructions. GLCS does not take responsibility for any consequences that may come of forum posts.

6) We do not allow pornographic, discriminatory, hateful or otherwise inappropriate language or usernames.
We reserve the right to determine what is considered an inappropriate username and language.

8) We reserve the right to remove any language or images that we deem inappropriate.
Do not request or post links to any sites that display pornographic, violent or hateful materials. Do not post or request pornographic stories and/or images. Any racist, hateful, pornographic or otherwise inappropriate language (ie, derogatory of anyone's race, nationality, sexual orientation or religious beliefs) or images will be deleted.

9) Do not impersonate GLCS staff members or WA WOW forum moderators or other members of the community.

10) Re-publishing your words: Your words are very important.
What you say can offer insight and wisdom to other WA WOW Forum visitors. Since what you say is so valuable, we will try to bring the best of your words out to a larger audience. We may do this from time to time by quoting your forum posts in newsletters, throughout GLCS’s website and its promotions including: our booklets, within newspaper columns, other media and publicity. All quotes will remain anonymous.

11) Follow WA WOW Forum moderators' instructions.
These moderators are there to keep the content of the forum useful and fun for everyone. If a moderator contacts you and asks you to stop a certain behaviour, you are required to do so. Failure to follow community guidelines can result in the cancellation of your WA WOW Forum membership. When a moderator posts to the board, their nickname will contain the prefix WAWOWmod_ (eg. WAWOWmod_Dani)

12) Please report any inappropriate posts.
While we monitor the community, we cannot catch everything that goes on right away. Please help us by letting us know if you see something inappropriate in any of our community services. Messages that would be considered inappropriate are those that have broken one or more of the community rules. You can report by sending an email to admin@glcs.org.au Include the name of thread that the message was posted in along with the name of the person posting.
