* = NEW

I am consolidating the old announcements and adding the guidelines.

Guidelines:

Please be courteous to your fellow members. Obscene language will not be tolerated, but please keep an open mind concerning opinions.

* Play dates and meetings between members are to be set up in our new group: MO Moms Playgroups. Please do not post them here.

This group is to be at least PG rated (there are PG-13, R rated groups elsewhere). Inappropriate posts, pictures, links, etc will be immediately removed.

All introductions are to be posted in the Introductions thread! Any intros posted elsewhere in the group will be immediately deleted.

Please do not post a thread looking for moms in your area without first looking in the area thread closest to you. Be sure to post in the appropriate area thread so other moms can connect with you! If you decide you still want to post a thread looking for moms in your town please PM me first before posting so I know not to delete it!

Do NOT upload photos to the group's photo section. This is used to display contest winner photos! Thank you!

Also, this group does allow business opportunity and advertising posts. However, if you SPAM this group repeatedly (several posts over a number of days) you will warned and if the behavior continues, you will be removed permanently. NO BUMPING YOUR ADS!

* Selling, Giving Away, and Looking to Buy posts should be posted in our group: Midwest Selling!

Please send MOMomsOwner a friend request if you wish to receive group updates or special group information!

Feel free to visit our sister groups, Missouri Moms Playgroups and Midwest Selling!

Oh, and have fun!

Inactive Members and Membership:

* CafeMom has given group owners the option of having an auto-delete for any inactive members. I have set our deletion for anyone who has not visited in two months. Please stay active!

Clarification- I want to clarify that your participation in this group comes FIRST! If you do not wish to accept my invite, that is fine but please be sure to stay active in the group.

Area Threads/Where Do You Live?:

Please notice that there are several new "area threads". This will make it much easier for moms in your local area to connect with you. Please be sure to sign where you live in the appropriate thread. I know not all of your exact towns/areas are mentioned, so please sign under the area that is nearest to you.

The new threads are based on those who signed the guestbook. Please sign the new guestbook on MOMomOwner's profile.

Here are quick links to the threads:

• Jefferson City/Columbia
• Springfield
• St. Louis
• Southern/Northern Areas
• Kansas City
• Rolla
• Joplin

R-Rated and Sex Related Topics:

Will be deleted IMMEDIATELY!!!!

Remember, in the guidelines it states that this is a PG group.. no X rated topics allowed. If you have not done so, please click on the Guidelines link to the left and read the short paragraph of guidelines. There are plenty of groups on CafeMom where you can discuss these topics freely, but MO Moms is not one of them. This is to be an entirely clean group for fun and informative topics.

Do NOT promote sex groups.
Do NOT promote sex related websites or businesses.
Do NOT ask for ask sex advice.
Do NOT post innapropriate pictures.

Any other activity along these lines will be deleted!
I am keeping track of who breaks the rules, and you will be warned on your first attempt. If the behavior continues you will be removed!

Thank you for keeping MO Moms a friendly environment.
