Dear Members, It has come to our attention that unfortunately certain members still do not understand the terms of our user agreement. In an effort to ensure the site stays supportive for all, several posts have been edited and/or deleted. It is important for members to note that the SSC is a free service. As we have hundreds of members using our Support Group, we are forced to implement a strict User Agreement. Any breach of that agreement is determined by our company, and we reserve the right to disallow user access to our programs at our discretion. The SSC is a funded organization, which allows all programs to be free. People often confuse the fact that the service is �free� with their ability to freely do and say whatever they please. This is not the case. Just as if our members were visiting someone�s physical �house�, we expect people to respect the house rules. If they do not respect the house rules, we ask them to leave, and that is our fundamental right. Some of the most common reasons for editing and deleting include: -the posting of personal contact information -the posting of other sites/products -shout outs to other members -posts that do not focus on the topic of smoking cessation -the posting of large graphics -negative and hurtful comments -direct lashing out For those who are respectful of the site rules, we thank you for your co-operation and apologize if you find these "reminder" posts repetitive. [b]At this time, we request that no further threads or posts be started regarding any politics that others may have with one another, any negative threads against others, any "inside" bashing, no referencing to past problems, or negative remarks. Please refrain from replying as well. If you can not post positively with support and knowledge, then please read only. [/b] Moderators will be continuing to support those members who need the SSC and its knowledge, all members may join in for support and advice. Please note that these informational threads are locked as to encourage members to contact us via feedback as opposed to posting your concerns in the discussion forums. Let's keep it light and on topic. Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team
