Community Guidelines


Community Guidelines


The Women of Faith public forums are a free feature of the Women of Faith website. They are made available as an online environment for encouraging and uplifting discussions about Women of Faith, the conferences and resources.

Think Before You Type
She opens her mouth with wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness. Proverbs 31:26

You are welcome to express your opinions freely. However, it is not in our nature to be critical of others, and we reserve the right to remove posts that we deem to be disparaging. If you have a concern that you need to communicate to someone at Women of Faith directly, send an email to WOFPublicist@womenoffaith.com.

Please note that comments you post are considered available for public consumption. Public means anyone with Internet access, not just other Women of Faith. Even men occasionally read and contribute to our discussions. Please remember that we are communicating without the benefit of body language and voice inflection. Words can sometimes be misinterpreted. Others may quote your remarks. While you’re at it…

In your use of these forums, you agree that you will not post any information which is vulgar, harassing, hateful, threatening, invading of others privacy, sexually oriented, or violates any laws.

Stay Safe

We strongly recommend that you do NOT put your address or telephone number on a public message board. While groups of WOF Message Boarders/chatters frequently make plans to meet at conferences and other get-togethers (and apparently have a great time!), please use caution. You don’t know who might be out there eavesdropping on your conversation. That being said…

Don’t Be Afraid to Join In

If you're new to our online family, taking that first step to post to a public message board or on our chat can sometimes seem intimidating. Don't be afraid to jump in. We have a very supportive community that serves up heavy doses of support, encouragement and enthusiasm. But if you’re not quite ready to speak up…

Feel Free Just to Listen

You’re welcome to just listen in, read messages and enjoy the lively conversation. One hint: If you do decide to start talking…

No "Bumping" Please

Please do not post random replies in order to "bump" yours or another to the top. Bumps are subject to deletion.

Please Don’t SHOUT

Typing in all capital letters LIKE THIS is considered SHOUTING online. Some find it rude, and it is difficult to read. Many people don’t realize this, so if you read a post that’s a little too loud, don’t take offense. In fact, people may occasionally say or do other things you don’t agree with, so please…

Agree to Disagree

We are part of God’s family, and like any family there will be times when we don’t agree. Please be sensitive to others’ beliefs. You are certainly free to express your opinion but please keep your comments relevant to the subject being discussed and not about the person who offers a differing opinion than your own. And while we value your opinion…

Once Is Enough

Please do not post the same message more than once on a message board. Duplicate messages can be frustrating for other visitors, especially for those whose time and energy is limited. We ask that you keep all posts to a maximum of 5 pages. After 5 pages, they are subject to be deleted without notice. Should a topic go on for more than 5 pages, please continue with another post.

No Advertising - Means No Advertising.

Please don't polute the boards with advertising of any sort. Posts containing advertising are subject to automatic removal and suspension of message board membership.

Respect Copyrighted Information

Information that is copyrighted or owned by any individual or entity other than the person posting should not be posted on the message board without the consent of the owner. Including the copyright information from a book or Web site is not sufficient. 'Consent of the owner' means specific, written permission to post the information on the Women of Faith Message Board. We appreciate that devotions or messages from other organizations may bless you, and you want to share them with others - but copying them into a post is not the way to do that. If this occurs, the individual posting the information shall be held solely responsible. Women of Faith, Inc. shall not be held responsible for posted information that may violate copyright law. And speaking of legal matters...

One Screen Name/ Account Per Person Please

Please only sign up for ONE message board account. The use of multiple screen names is against our policy. If you have more than one account, please email messageboard@womenoffaith.com to have the others removed. We reserve the right to delete subsequent accounts for a single user. We trust our members - therefore we ask that you not email any "suspicions" in regards to members with multiple accounts.

Time To Go?

If you wish to deactivate your membership with the message board, please send an email to messageboard@womenoffaith.com and we will do so in a timely manner. Please note, all posts containing your username will remain on the board - but your account will be locked and you will be unable to post further messages. Please Note: We are unable to reinstate accounts once they have been closed.

The Fine Print

Opinions expressed on this Message Board do not necessarily represent those of Women of Faith, Inc. or Thomas Nelson, Inc. Women of Faith is not responsible for and does not guarantee the accuracy of statements posted on the Message Board.

Women of Faith reserves the right to remove a post that does not relate to the topic being discussed in the folder or on a specific forum. Women of Faith also reserves the right to prohibit or delete messages that are thought to violate applicable law or that may be harmful or hurtful to others. That said, Women of Faith does not have the practical ability to restrict conduct or communications that might violate Women of Faith Guidelines prior to transmission on the Internet, nor can we ensure prompt removal of offending message board posts. We will do our best to monitor the message board and to enforce these message board guidelines.

Speaking of enforcement, though we hate to go to this extreme, should you violate these guidelines or those of the Official User Agreement, we reserve the right to delete your postings and/or permanently remove your ability to post to our Message Board.

Women of Faith, Inc. reserves the right to modify these Terms of Use at any time and you agree to be bound by such modifications through your use of Women of Faith’s site.

Have a great time online!
