The responsibilities of a The Bag Forum (tBF) Member

1) Profanity or any slanderous hurtful remarks are not tolerated. Diverse thoughts and opinions are wanted and if you disagree with a comment do not attack the person, be considerate. Also name calling of other members is absolutely not tolerated here and may result in suspension. Should you come across coarse language in a post or signature, please inform the administrator or moderator asap.

2) Remember to please source all images, news stories, etc.

3) If you come across any posts that you do not feel meet the criteria for tBF, then please send the admin or one of the moderators an email or Private Message (PM)

4) We love Handbags! Discussion of politics, religion, etc is not permitted. Stay on topic; this is a forum for handbag / purse / fashion lovers.

The following are not permitted in any shape or form at tBF, and are grounds for warnings, suspension or a permanent ban (*please see note below).

1) Each member is permitted only one account. You may not have multiple accounts. I know. ISP's don't lie.

2) Absolutely no advertisements, chain letters, spam or related materials. If the Admin gets the impression that you only joined to promote your product then you may be banned. Do not post sites that are only affiliate programs. They will be deleted.

3) No selling items. Of course you can discuss items being sold in the stores. However, do not advertise to sell your personal items, that’s what eBay is for. Unless you are invited in The Fashion Market Place.

4) Profanity and coarse language is prohibited. Users, if you come across a comment made by a member in another language that includes swearing, or swearing is part of their signature or member name, please report it to an Administrator or Moderator.

5) English is the main language here. Do not post in any other language.

6) Discussion of pornography, drugs, etc is not permitted.

7) Stay on topic

*Please note: warnings, suspension and banning will take place if members fail to follow tBF community policies. The Bag Forum reserves the right to suspend any member for breaking any of the community policies. The banning policy is 2 warnings and the 3rd will result in banning. Warnings active for 60 days, banning can be anywhere from 30 day to permit.

Any questions about the rules please do not hesitate to email Admin Jennifer or any of the moderators.

The Rules and Regulations may be updated whenever I feel necessary. It is the user’s responsibility to keep updated.

Before posting, please consider the following:

1) It is very important that you, the member provide a reliable source for the information that you provide. All information submitted to The Bag Forum must be linked to a credible source. This includes articles, pictures, stories, etc., which must be linked to a magazine, newspaper, agency, etc. Journalists and photographers deserve acknowledgment for their work. Exception to this would be unfounded information, like rumors or hearsay. The Bag Forum is dedicated to bring you the most up to date accurate information. So in accommodation with other readers, it is essential that all information quoted from the web or article contains a link to that credible source.

2) Make sure that when you post a topic that it is under the correct thread or that the thread is not pre-existing.

Signatures
Should be limited to a maximum of 4 lines of standard font text. Large font text should not be used in signatures. There is to be no swearing or graphic language used in a signature. Advertising links are not allowed.

Avatars
