NOTE: Before we go into the rules, it is important to remember that all of your postings and membership information is open to the public and remains on these boards - you need to understand this with your postings and it is the same as other social networking sites. You do not need to use personal information and the majority of members do not post personal information. If you are concerned about this, please do not participate on our site.

1. While a wide range of subjects are regularly discussed here, Agelesslove.com is primarily a site for adult discussion of matters regarding age-gap relationships. Please do not register or post here if you have not yet reached the age of 18. Romantic relationships -- particularly those which might include sexual behavior -- involving persons under the age of 18 are not condoned/supported in any way by this site, and may not be discussed in our forums.

2. Be respectful of others at all times.

We do not tolerate any rudeness. Personal attacks, including posts designed to berate or insult another member, will not be tolerated. This includes veiled insults.

Occasionally, there will be conflicts that arise when people voice opinions. Be courteous when disagreeing with others. It is possible to disagree without being insulting.

Posts that are considered offensive are subject to moderation. In particular, ageism will not be permitted on the forums. Any generalizations, stereotyping, and references made that the staff considers to be ageist will be removed to create a welcoming environment for all members. All of our members are 18+ adults and should be spoken to and treated as such.

Personal disagreements should be conducted by way of private messages rather than in the public forums, however, in all discussions (whether conducted publicly or privately), please remain polite; respecting other members and the community as a whole.

3. Swearing is not allowed in the public forums. The site automatically edits many terms widely recognized as profane, but the moderation staff may further edit language in response to member sensitivity.

4. Valid discussions in the area of human sexuality are welcome in the Sexually Speaking forum, but Agelesslove.com is neither a porn site nor a board for the presentation of erotic literature. Members are required to remain considerate of others with regard to post content and language. Posts containing graphic, detailed descriptions of sexual acts which, in the opinion of the Agelesslove.com administrator or moderation staff, serve no purpose other than to highlight the sexual exploits of members or guests are not welcome and will be deleted without warning or notice. We welcome humor but again, graphic sexual descriptions are inappropriate for this site. Members are encouraged to utilize one of the most powerful tools available to a writer…the reader’s imagination.

5. Advertising in the forums is not allowed. Threads, posts, or embedded links that directly or indirectly market any product or service are subject to deletion by the site moderation staff.

6. Members are allowed to maintain only one Agelesslove.com screen identity at any given time.

7. Moderation:

All administrators and moderators are volunteers and have volunteered their time to help our community. Our moderators are members just like you, who enjoy friendly discussions. While they have guidelines to follow in maintaining AgelessLove, they each have their own style of moderating the board. Please respect our moderators as they work very hard to maintain the community.

Our forums are closely moderated. Repeated misuse of the site will not be tolerated. Members are given three warnings before they risk losing their membership for repeated rules infractions, however, depending upon the situation, a member’s access may be terminated sooner.

Moderators are expected to live up to a higher standard. As such, we expect the members to treat them with a higher standard. Disrespectful behavior from a member toward a moderator regarding moderator actions or decisions, whether posted publicly or privately through PM, will not be tolerated. In addition, all PM’s between the administration/moderation staff members are to be kept strictly confidential. Any violation will result in immediate consequences, including either a suspension of that member's posting privileges, a warning, or potentially a permanent loss of membership.

Members are asked to not act as “back seat moderators”. If members note an issue which violates the forum rules, they should report the post by clicking the red triangle in the upper right hand corner of the post window. Do not respond to such topics yourself. Members who constantly “act” as moderators may be warned.

Warnings and bans are not to be discussed on the forum. Such matters shall remain private between the moderation team and the member involved.

As with any member, public criticism of moderation staff members or this site’s moderation policies is not allowed. If you have questions or constructive criticism regarding the moderation staff and/or moderation policies of Agelesslove.com, please contact the moderation team or the site administrator directly via private message.

8. Regarding banned Members:

Members banned for any reason may not re-register without the express permission of the site administrator

Registered members may not post on behalf of any banned member in any public manner. This includes all forums, private messages, profile posts, signatures, and e-mail features.
