Discussion Group Guidelines


FORUM GUIDELINES: The board is a wonderful place to build community, share knowledge, meet new friends, exchange ideas and thoughts on gear, technique, strategies and experiences. This Forum is not provided as a kind of free-speech paradise. It is a positive place for positive people who enjoy discussing trees and tree care. With this in mind we would like to ask all of you to keep these thoughts in mind when posting new threads or replying to existing threads:

  1. Try not to write anything to another person that you would not say to that person's face.
  2. Remember the "golden rule" we all learned as kids: do unto others as you would wish them to do unto you.
  3. It would be nice if everyone on the board would try to be supportive of our effort to provide entertaining and informative content as well as build viewership. If you have constructive criticism for us or the site we would appreciate your emailing ISA instead of posting it here on the Forum.
  4. We have all seen or heard of good Forums being destroyed by the irresponsible behavior of a tiny few. Out and out flames and petty grudge matches have no place here. If you are into that stuff, this is not the Forum for you. The web editor reserves the right at their sole discretion to delete those kinds of posts. Repeated flamers on any subject (including the site) will be banned.
  5. We absolutely will not tolerate any racism, bigotry or hate speech here. It will be deleted and further action will be taken if necessary.
