BaliBlog appreciates and welcomes your feedback and insights. However, participation in BaliBlog.com is a privilege, not a right. We reserve the right to delete your posts and/or ban you from the forum and/or BaliBlog.com without prior warning. It is your responsibility to read these rules and to try to maintain the content and direction of your posts. The less time Nick has to babysit our members, the more time he has to find you quality, free, hard-to-find, travel news, info and insight on Bali.
Just like poker, there are house rules. If you get caught cheating or with a card up your sleeve, you’re out – no exceptions:
1. No abusive posts. Personal attacks based on sexual preference, religion, nationality, race, etc, will not be tolerated.
2. No inflammatory or threatening posts are allowed.
3. Usernames may not contain offensive, obscene, or abusive images or slogans.
4. Do not post nudity or offensive pictures. You may post links but must mark them as NSFW (Not Safe for Work).
5. Do not post someone else’s private information such as home address or phone number without their permission. In most cases this is a violation of your Internet service provider contract.
6. Accounts intentionally created to resemble other accounts in order to deceive or attack other forum members will be banned.
7. Do not post gibberish, excessive punctuation or smileys, or “test” messages.
8. Classified ads are not allowed on the forums. This includes ads for hostels, services and websites.
9. If you want to chat with the member, don’t use the comments to banter back and forth.
10. Take responsibility for your own posts, because we will not. By using a forum you agree to hold BaliBlog.com blameless and without responsibility for any trauma experienced.
11. If you are traveling to Bali and have a specific Bali question, please ask it on the BaliBlog Message Boards. Nick and other Bali insiders peruse these boards frequently to answer questions. Questions asked in the comments section are usually overlooked. Use the ‘find’ feature to determine if your question has been asked before. If your exact question was just asked a few weeks ago, people are less likely to respond.
12. For most folks, the above 11 rules are common sense and second nature. So go forth and have fun!
