1. Respect our members.
Our community is a friendly, fun and safe place for our members to share their lives, make new friends and swap advice. We love to see new people, and you won't find us a cliquey community who are hostile to new members. However, we won't tolerate personal abuse, xenophobia or racism towards our members. Treat others like you would like to be treated, and be aware that pregnancy and parenting can be an emotional experience and that members may be suffering from PND, depression or a child-induced sleepless delicate mood!
2. No spammers
We hate spam as much as anyone else. If you're signing up simply to promote your product or website, please don't bother as your spam will be removed. We welcome WAHMs and owners of small business, and we don't at all mind active members of our community mentioning their sites and asking for advice/feedback - but please respect the fact that our members don't like being inundated with offers and sales pitches - we have a fantastic advertising package for those looking to promote their products!
3. Keep it legal.
To protect ourselves and our members from prosecution, we can't allow illegal content to be posted on our site. This includes pornographic images, obscene content, or discussion of illegal topics such as copyright infringement (illegal downloads and copying music for example) or any other topic that breaks common law. Don't copy and paste content from another site, as it will be copyright to them, and don't include images in your posts or blog that are hosted by a site which is not designed for that purpose (we recommend Photobucket). You are responsible for content you post on this site, and JustParents reserve the right to remove or edit innappropriate content but cannot be held responsible or liable for the content posted by our members.
4. Stay safe.
Be aware that the internet is a public resource and that although our community is as safe and friendly as they come, anyone can sign up - as is true for all community sites. Think twice before posting personal details about yourself such as your full name, email address, phone number or home address. If you'd like to post pictures of your baby or child you're more than welcome (and many parents do) - but avoid things such as an identifiable school uniforms. Many of our members have become close friends and often meet up offline, but be aware that on an anonymous website, people can represent themselves in any way they like. Stay cautious, and stay safe.
5. Choose your username carefully!
JustParents is an addictive place, and we hope you'll stick around for years to come. It might not be the best idea to register yourself as 'mumofben' if you're planning on having another child in a years time for example!
