We strive to maintain the community forum as a credible resource and support system for our visitors and members in a welcoming and kind atmosphere. These pages explain how we work to accomplish this goal, by explaining the rules/regulations of Meditation Village Forums, including the ‘Find a Buddy Forum.’
General
Moderation - The Meditation Village forums are moderated by the Meditation Village team members and selected Meditation Villager members.
Posts - Posts must be constructive and on topic. Moderators may delete posts that do not meet the Acceptable Use Policy. Moderators reserve the right to remove any topics deemed inappropriate or disruptive to the community.
Etiquette - Moderators are not instructed to censor opinions or ideas but will take action against posts and/or topics that cause disruption beyond polite disagreements. Members may not post personal attacks towards members and Meditation Village team members.
Official Support – Meditation Village requires all technical support questions be directed through the proper support channels – see Contact Us. Please do not send a private message or email to Meditation Village team members requesting technical help.

Rules
This forum is made publicly available for the community to support people to learn and practice meditation all over the world. In order to keep this forum a credible resource and strong support system, we require all forum members to abide by the rules.
Violation of any of these rules will mean loss of privileges and / or consequences determined on a case-by-case basis.
- Profanity and discriminatory remarks are not tolerated.
- Inflammatory remarks, intended to hurt or offend a member and/or moderator, are not tolerated.
- Spamming, public or private, will result in a user ban.
- Pornography, warez and illegal content may not be linked from this forum.
- Signatures must be limited to two lines. Failing to comply with these guidelines will result in the removal of the signature.
- Postings must be placed in the appropriate forum channel and contain a descriptive subject line. Postings placed in inappropriate forum channels will be considered off-topic and either moved or deleted. Non-descriptive titles and descriptions will be renamed.
- Linked and locked topics are pruned regularly. If you have a question about where a topic resides, please email a moderator before starting a new topic asking where it went or posting a duplicate thread of the original topic. Moderators are happy to provide a link to thread locations as well as explain the reasoning behind why a thread is locked and/or removed.
- If you are linking to external content, you should link directly to that content. It is unacceptable to use link-thru systems to mask the originating URL.
- Cross-posting (posting the same content in multiple channels) is not tolerated. All duplicate posts will be deleted.
- Post bumping is not permitted.
- Sensitive topics such as account information and security issues are not to be discussed in the forum. Topics that could compromise sensitive information or serve to potentially harm Meditation Village and members will be deleted.
- If a thread is deleted by a moderator and the offending user attempts to re-post a similar thread, it is possible that the user will lose “member” privileges.
- The forum is not an acceptable channel to report software bugs. If you find a reproducible bug in your storefront, please submit a “bug report” from your admin panel.
- User profiles, including signatures with inappropriate content, will be modified without notification.
- Abusive behavior of any kind will not be tolerated and may result in the ban of the involved accounts. If you have experienced abusive behavior from a community member, please inform a Forum Moderator.
If you feel a forum moderator is abusing forum rules or behaving unethically, please contact us through information@meditationvillage.ca.
Thank you for visiting your forums. We hope you enjoy your stay. If you have any questions or suggestions relating to these rules, please contact the forum moderator team.
