Re-adding this rule: 16. Should you wish to post photographs of your children to the board, please do so only in non-public forums. (Public forums are those which can be seen by non-members and are labeld "*public*"; all the others are considered "non-public.")

The part in bold was added to guideline 23:

23. No posts harshly dissecting parenting moments of others seen or heard about either in real life or online since we desire to humbly cultivate a heart attitude of grace and not judgment towards other mamas.

Re: Posting Guidelines and Rules
 

Thought I'd better note that on the 8th I split the Policy for Posting Copyrighted Materials to the Board and Rules for Signature Lines off into their own threads.

And now it says this:
The changes made were that the word "below" was removed and now the words "copyright policy" link to the new sticky about copyright policy (copyright policy is the same -- the new sticky was made so that the copyright policy would have it's own thread, to shorten the OP and hopefully make it less overwhelming to read).

Re: Posting Guidelines and Rules
 

Now it's being changed to this:

Re: Posting Guidelines and Rules
 

Twelve was updated to add Now 12 looks like this:

Re: Posting Guidelines and Rules
 

For clarification's sake, the words "off our board" have been removed from guideline 12 because posts or threads should not be discussed anywhere, either off or on, the board with anyone who does not have access to the forum where they are posted:

Now it says this:

Re: Posting Guidelines and Rules
