We adhere to CafeMom guidelines for groups and consider them part of our guidelines.  Additionally:

• Please no business advertising!  Signatures for other groups are allowed.
• Cursing is allowed but keep it to a minimum.
• Inactive members for a time period of 180 days will be automatically removed.  Any member removed due to inactivity is welcome to reapply at any time.
• Bashing and attacks on members will not be allowed.  The terms hater and sheeple is not allowed.  As well, questioning why someone watches the show, joins the group, likes Kate, likes Jon, and so forth are to be avoided and will be determined on a case by case basis if they are bashing or attacking.  Bashing and attacks are allowed in the Full On forum, including using the terms hater or sheeple.
• Bashing or insulting children will not be allowed.  Just because a child is shown on TV doesn't mean they are fair game, these are still real children.  Negative things can be discussed, tantrums or acting out, but discuss it as you would if the child was standing right there.
• Please do not discuss other CafeMom groups or bring conflicts from other groups here.  Topics mentioned in other groups may be brought up for debate but not conflicts or disagreements.  Also, please do not discuss CafeMom members who do not belong to this group.
• No copy & pasting of information regarding members.  Copy & pasting of Gosselin related links and information is perfectly acceptable but please refrain from copying & pasting a member's personal information.  Members do occasionally share information about their lives and are doing so not with the intention of members then sharing that information with others. 
• Topics not related to Jon & Kate are allowed but please label them as OT (Off Topic) in the title so those only interested in Jon & Kate topics will know.
• Quoting is allowed but not required.  Use discretion because quoting someone can sometimes feel aggressive.
• Bring your big girl pants.  While attacking other members is not allowed this is a debate group, opinions will differ and things can get heated.

Posts or replies to posts that violate guidelines may be subject to being deleted without warning.  Violators will be warned and if the violations continue may be removed from the group.

As our group continues to develop more guidelines may be added or refined.
