Forum Terms & Rules
Welcome!
We love hearing from new people, but first a few guidelines.
New registrants go through a short "moderation" period. This means that your first few submissions will be quickly reviewed by a moderator before becoming visible. Successful submissions automatically promote you to full "Member" status. Offensive registrants are deleted without notice.
Conduct:
Please act courteously to others, regardless of opinion. Click here to read our statement of faith!
We do not vouch for or warrant the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any message, and are not responsible for the contents of any message.
You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this bulletin board to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violates any law.
Persistent spreading of obvious heresy will not be tolerated. Heresy can mean any teaching that conflicts with the above standard Statement of Faith, and/or taking a legitimate biblical truth and pushing it to an extreme. Examples of extremes are legalism, libertinism, "serpent seed", etc. Extremes in doctrine are more difficult to detect; therefore, to preserve the integrity of the forum, we reserve the right to remove divisive members who persistently teach extreme views, as decided by a team of moderators.
When quoting other websites:
Only very short excerpts (placed in "quotations") can be quoted from other websites or news articles, with acknowledgment and a link back to the source. The issue of copyright is still murky and some are exploiting these uncertainties through lawsuits against similar websites as our own; therefore, DO NOT QUOTE whole sections of any article unless you have their expressed written consent! Anyone who fails to obey this rule will be warned and their posts moderated for one week.

What is the fair use doctrine? "In certain circumstances, a person or organization can reproduce copyrighted material without paying royalties--fees paid to the copyright holder for the privilege of reproducing the copyrighted material" (Miller & Jentz, 2006, p. 147). Section 107 of the Copyright Act (Title 17, U.S. Code) outlines these provisions. Fair use includes "criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research" (Copyright.gov). Section 107 sets four factors in determining whether or not a particular use is considered fair (Copyright.gov, 2006). The distinction between fair use and infringement may be unclear and not easily defined, because the specific number of words, lines, or notes that may safely be taken without permission is not explicitly stated. However, in all cases, quotation and proper citation MUST BE USED when engaging in fair use of the original author's material! Resources: Copyright. (2006). U.S. copyright office.
