Gifted forum guidelines update requested  

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I am not certain where or to whom to post this too.

Could we please get a more concise update to the the gifted forum guidelines? As of late numerous posts from people who frequent that forum have been moved and while their post may fit other forum's they still pertain to the gifted one as well. This is a new and recent occurrence and wasn't an issue in the past so I am curious about the change and what the guidelines are.

Thanks.

The guidelines state that if the thread is applicable to another forum it will be moved.


Quote:
The Gifted board is a forum of support, respectful requests of information, and sharing of ideas and experiences. To uphold this purpose the board will not host discussions of debate or criticism. Disagreements about gifted issues should be set aside out of respect for the diversity and varying interpretations and beliefs that we hold as a community.

While we will not restrict discussions to persons of the gift being discussed we will be active in discouraging an individual from posting for the purpose of disagreement, with no interest in practicing the belief or view in discussion, or to prove a gifted concept or a belief to be wrong, misguided, or not based on fact. Proselytizing, to convert to another definition of gifted, will not be permitted. Controversial subjects of discussion related to giftedness can be found elsewhere on the internet and we invite you to seek out other sites for that purpose.


If a topic does not relate directly to Gifted issues it should be posted elsewhere. We would like to encourage that infant and toddler issues be posted in those respective forums

It is our wish that the Gifted Forum be a supportive and welcoming atmosphere for everyone. Please help us achieve this by doing your part and adhering to our guidelines. And as always, please make sure your posting is in accordance with the MDC User Agreement.
If it isn't specifically involving Gifted issues then it does need to be in the other forum. Simply because a topic involves a child that is gifted doesn't really mean that all threads about that child should be in that forum.

Some threads that are placed there are better suited to another forum.
