- Be respectful of other people's opinions and experiences.
- Please do not speak in generalizations, as if something is true for everyone. Keep it personal to you, so we can learn from each other.
- This is not the place for angry banter, judgement, or criticism.

Vibrantpdx and designated moderators reserve the right to delete a post that is attacking and offensive (I know offensive is kind of vague). If posts are starting to get heated, a gentle reminder will be given to chill out.

We want this forum to be a safe place to learn and grow. We are all trying to figure out what it means to live into justice and community as Jesus has called us.

If you can think of anything else that should be remembered as we go forth with this forum experiment, feel free to post here.

First, please encourage all Vibrant members to register for this forum. The more participation we have from our community the greater the discussions will be.

Second, you are welcome to invite friends to check out the forum and participate. Please invite friends who will respect our guidelines.

We do not look highly on anonymous posting. I don't even know for sure if you can leave anonymous posts. However, user names can be cryptic sometimes. It would be helpful if your user name actually identified you. Take ownership of what you post on this forum.

If an individual continually posts offensive and attacking messages, we reserve the right to delete their registration from our forum. I don't imagine that we will ever have to do this, but you never know.
