Sayulita Mexico Forum: Sayulita Mexico Forum rules and guidelines

Postings must be family-friendly.

We reserve the right to remove messages containing objectionable language and images, including but not limited to profanity, obscenity, vulgarity, racial/ethnic slurs, hate speech, personal insults, hostile comments, and threatening language. All the standard curse words are banned, and we will remove messages that contain clever misspellings intended to circumvent the content filters. We will also remove any messages that promote or seek advice on engaging in illegal activities*, and graphic descriptions of death or injuries -- whether due to accidents, negligence or criminal acts.


Post carefully and respectfully as posts cannot be edited.

This means you can't change your spelling, fix your grammar or take back any off-hand comments you may have made. In a world full of different cultures, experiences, opinions, and preferences, people will always disagree. SayulitaLife.com encourages active discussions in our forums, even those about controversial topics, but debates should always remain civil and respectful as the forums are not a place for interpersonal disputes. A single profanity, hostile comment or personal insult - even in a well-considered post - can lead to the removal of a post. If you can't offer friendly advice, it may be wiser to move along to the next thread.

Self-promotion, advertisements, solicitation or SPAM is strictly prohibited.


Members affiliated with a business or property being discussed must identify themselves as such.

No self-promoting commercial URLs or e-mail addresses.

We would never walk into your home and start posting ads for our web site, so you shouldn't come on our site and do the same. While we expect and encourage you to provide your contact information when it is requested, please do not share your contact information unnecessarily. Rule of thumb: if sharing your commercial information and knowledge does not directly relate to and significantly benefit the travel discussion at hand, then refrain from sharing it or your post may be removed.


*

Listings that include real estate purchases, apartment rentals or similar solicitations. Exception to this rule: A discussion providing short-term relocation advice is acceptable provided it remains relevant to travelers moving or looking to move to that destination. Orientation to neighborhoods, travel logistics, visa requirements, or even post-arrival "thanks, everyone" updates are welcome, whereas asking for help finding roommates, buying/selling furniture or ongoing personal updates are not considered travel-related.

Note: As the number of posts removed from a thread increases, the likelihood of that thread being closed or entirely deleted also increases.

Every person is limited to one screen name.

Consider your screen name to be your passport to the SayulitaLife.com forums. Every person is limited to one forums screen name; members with multiple screen names will be banned. Do not create screen names to impersonate other members or SayulitaLife.com staff or you'll quickly be deported from the forums.

Harassment of other members will not be tolerated.

The forums can only flourish if all members can feel welcome and safe to share their opinions openly. Please avoid argumentative off-topic exchanges, multiple messages targeting any member(s) for insults or personal comments, or challenging any other member's right to participate on our site. Sarcastic asides and snide comments should be kept to yourself. Ignore people you don't want to talk to and avoid undue electronic confrontation.

Please keep in mind that the forums are not the place to make allegations about specific people or properties on SayulitaLife.com. To let us know your feedback on a specific person or property, you'll need to contact us directly.

Do not post contact or personal information about other members without permission.

We ask all members to respect the privacy of others, and refrain from exposing the real names, home addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses of other members. If you include your own personal information in a forum post, it will be viewed and potentially used by any and all who see it... including people you'd probably rather not hear from. Note: We do allow members to include the names and contact information of business representatives or property owners in their comments, critiques and reviews of that business, property or service.

Screen names and forum posts should not contain anything that would represent you as a member of the SayulitaLife.com staff. To avoid misinterpretation or quoting out of context, private correspondence with SayulitaLife.com staff should not be reproduced in the public forums -- if we want information to be public knowledge, we will publish it under an official SayulitaLife.com announcement, also known as a sticky topic. False or speculative claims about our policies and procedures will not be tolerated.

No posting copyrighted material or content published elsewhere

We ask members not to post any information that they do not have permission to make available, including but not limited to: copyrighted material from any online or printed publication (news agencies, magazines, books, travel guides, television or radio program transcripts), trademarks, passwords, subscription/members-only discount codes, confidential information, or the intellectual property of any other individual or business.

Posts with link spam will be removed.

You must be at least 13 years old to post

This is not something we decided arbitrarily - it's the law.

SayulitaLife.com reserves the right to remove any post for any reason

While we want to keep removal of posts to a minimum, we will take necessary action to keep the forums welcoming and conducive to open discussion. While SayulitaLife.com encourages active discussions in our forums, debates should remain civil and respectful -- the forums are not a place for interpersonal disputes. Please be sure your content and conduct is that of a mature individual.

Now go post, reply, and have fun helping the Sayulita community grow in a positive manner.
