After much discussion between the general membership and the moderators, we've finally hammered out the official Forum Rules for BeyondLowCarb.net. If you have any questions or comments, please communicate them
to one of the moderators.
1. You must be at least 18 years of age to become a member of this site.
2. Show good manners at all times. Know the difference between a difference of opinion and a personal attack. Don't engage in insults. Do remember that we have members from a variety of nations, races and religious beliefs.
3. Search for existing topics before starting new threads.
4. Do not post copyrighted material without permission, except as allowable under fair-use guidelines; post the link instead.
5. Do not post solicitations or advertisements without permission.
6. Do not post public threats, or any material that is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, invasive of a person's privacy or anything else that violates U.S. law.
7. This forum is for support, empowerment, sharing opinions and entertainment. Beyondlowcarb.net is not a professional advice forum, and no one should use it as such. For medical problems, consult a medical professional.
8. Moderators may move posts as deemed necessary to ensure you get the appropriate help.
9. Do not register or post under multiple user names.
10. Report objectionable posts to the moderators rather than responding in kind.

12. Do not publicly accuse someone of having an eating disorder. If you feel someone has a problem, report it to the moderators so that it can be addressed privately.
13. Members who violate forum rules will receive a warning, and continued violations may result in temporary or permanent loss of posting privileges, subject to the agreement of a majority of the moderation team. The moderators reserve the right to edit or delete posts that violate forum rules.
