Read the CafeMom Community Guidelines. If you don't know what they are there is a link to them at the bottom of every page here on CafeMom. These guidelines are to be followed as are this group's rules. 

Be Nice. Be Polite. If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

If someone is bashing you, instead of replying to them report it. Get them removed, not yourself. Please report posts by using the "report" button

If you are severely PMSing, perhaps you should leave posting to another day. lol

The following are violations that will get you removed from the group WITHOUT any warning. Once removed, you will not be allowed to rejoin.

NO ABORTION POSTS ALLOWED AT ALL!!!!

ABSOLUTELY NO ADS!!

Graphic photos of any kind, including pornography & anything with abused &/or deceased children.

Attacking/Bashing/Mocking/Namecalling another member's child.

Harassing members on their profiles. DO NOT take a fight out of this forum & onto another member's profile! If this happens to you, please notify us immediately. If you feel you need to delete the comment, please take a screen shot or copy+paste the comment first so we may see the offensive material. This includes unwarranted PMs you receive. If you feel you are being threatened, solicited or harassed, let us know. We will relay that info to CM if needed.

This is a group for stay at home moms. The term "stay at home mom" is extremely vague. Because of this I am inclined to include those Moms who do have jobs, as long as they don't work full-time. If you do work or have a paying hobby please DO NOT discuss it on this forum. You will be removed from the group. This includes advertising your job/hobby in your signature. If you have any questions please PM the GO,  xChasingxAmyx, or Mom2theboy1994

You will receive only ONE warning for the following before being removed from this group. Once removed you will NOT be allowed to rejoin. We do keep a list of members we have warned & for what they were warned.

1. NO Name calling.

2 Threats. DO NOT threaten other moms. Not only will you be removed from the group I will be forced to inform the CafeMom Team & they will take it from there.

3. Bashing other moms.

4. Attacking other moms.

The SAHM group is highly dramatic. We have a lot of members with very in-your-face views & attitudes. Thick skin is, unfortunately, a requirement for membership in this group. Posts will be monitored & locked or deleted ONLY if they get out of control. If you think a post has gotten to this point please report it.   

For "forwards" such as gas outs, urban legends, poems, etc. please do two things. 1) check http://www.snopes.com to prove it's validity, and 2) make sure it isn't posted already. You can do this by doing a post search. The link to do so is on the left hand of the page at the bottom of the group links. If it's already posted there is no need to post the same exact thing again. Just bump it back to the top of the list to make sure it's seen by the members that are currently on the forum.

If you have a problem, with anything, a member, a post, a general question, PLEASE come to the GO.  It may be something I am unaware of, it may be something I am keeping an eye on. If you wonder why something happened, a post being deleted for example, send one of us a message. You can send a message to the group owner,xChasingxAmyx, first.

If you feel the need to curse in your posts, please let others know by adding a warning in your post's title.

I want to also take a minute to clarify Freedom of Speech. Freedom of Speech is concerning the government. Freedom of Speech applies to government and some public arenas. Cafemom is NOT a public forum. This group is a private forum. Your freedom of speech does not apply here. When you joined CafeMom and then applied to join this group, you entered a private forum, twice, thereby agreeing to our rules. So do not claim we are violating your Freedom of Speech, because we are not.

Please respect the admin team and myself. We will work very very hard to make this group positive, helpful, and fun for everyone.

We reserve the right to remove siggies we find offensive. Be it gory, overly sexual etc. Your signature will be removed without notice. We have to remember that in this group, several of our mommies come online while their children are within eyesight. Thank you for understanding.
