Rules:

 

1)    You must be a registered member of the ACC Community Message Boards in order to post messages.  You must also be a registered member in order to read any of the boards in the “discussion” section.  Anyone (registered or unregistered) may read the boards in the “information” section.

 

2)    Profane, derogatory, abusive, and otherwise inappropriate language and/or content will not be tolerated.

 

3)    Advertising and solicitations are not allowed.  It is permissible, however, to offer recommendations or advice for products and services to other members, so long as you do not benefit financially from the purchase of these products or services.

 

4)    All fundraising efforts posted on the boards must be pre-approved by the moderator. Do not post information about fundraisers without contacting the moderator first.

 

5)    Individuals are only allowed one user name.  Individuals may not create multiple user names (“aliases”).

 

6)    Do not post the content of private messages on any of the forums without the permission of the user who sent you the message.  You may, however, forward any suspicious or inflammatory private messages to the moderator or administrator.

 

7)    This community is for support and information; it is not intended to substitute for professional advice. 

 

8)    If you notice a member breaking forum rules, please report the violation to the moderator.

 

9)    Failure to follow these rules may result in disciplinary actions including, but not limited to, the deletion of offending posts, warnings to members breaking rules, and the removal of a member from the community.

 

 

Guidelines:

 

1)    Please be careful about providing personal information (real name, children’s full names address, phone number, etc.) on this site.  Remember that anyone can read information that you post in the “information” area, and all registered members can read information in the “discussion” area.

 

2)    Be considerate and agree to disagree.  Treat other posters with respect.  The purpose of this community is to provide support and information; please keep this goal in mind when posting.  Avoid name-calling, derogatory language, and personal attacks.

 

3)    Please post messages in the appropriate forum.  Each forum has a different purpose; read the descriptions for each forum before you decide which forum to post your message in it.

 

4)    Please title your threads with specific subject lines describing their content.  This helps other users quickly determine what your thread is about, and will help you gain more appropriate replies.  For example, instead of titling a thread “Question,” use a more descriptive title like “Questions about upcoming IEP Meeting.”

 

5)    When you join the board, please consider posting a message on the “Introduce Yourself” board to tell community members about yourself and your connection to ACC.

 

6)      Please direct any questions or comments about the boards to Amy Tully (astully –at- wisc.edu).
