Policy statement and Rules of conduct
for the Original Herpes Home Page forums
December 12, 1999 revised: Nov 2, 2007

In order to further HHP goals of assisting people by providing peer support to participants with particular emphasis on those who are newly affected by herpes, the HHP management has established this statement of policy.

Disclaimer: All opinions expressed here by the HHP, its management and participants constitute just that, opinions. No medical relationship with any participant is established or implied in any way. Each individual's personal doctor is responsible for the medical advice and care of that person.

Forum participation rules:

By posting messages on our site, you agree to be bound by these rules.

1. Participants will behave in a civil manner. Individuals who consistently violate our hospitality and ignore the principles spelled out in these rules will be warned and may have their messages deleted. Individuals who consistently ignore these warnings will be banned from this forum. The determination of what is, and is not, civil will be decided by HHP management and the HHP Advisory Board. Remember that our goal of helping people is not aided by frightening them away with incivility or by being judgemental.

2. "Netiquette" on HHP:
  a) No personal attacks (provoked or not)
  b) No private arguments or discussions - if a thread becomes "personal"
      beyond one or two messages, it needs to go to e-mail
  c) No hi-jacking of threads (responding to a thread to start a different
     topic, thereby rendering the original question impotent.
  d) Discussion topics regarding religion or politics are 
     strongly discouraged due to flame potential.


3. Commercial messages are forbidden in the forums. If someone wishes to advertise anywhere on this site, they must contact forum management and make formal arrangements.
