Community Forum Policies

At Elliott County, we believe in the power of a positive community, and we invite you to participate in that community in a way that is encouraging, inspiring, and respectful. Our members are helpful, insightful, charismatic, and funny, and all of them bring a different perspective and voice.
Keep in mind that the Forums are a common area that you share with the Elliott County community. If you choose to express your ideas here, we ask that you:
Respect all members and their posts, including the privacy and personal information of others.

Act positively and encourage others. Don't be rude or snarky.

Be helpful. Offer constructive criticism or voice a dissenting opinion, but don't be mean or disrespectful.

Be honest and transparent. Post as yourself, using your real name, and not with a fake identity.


Moderators ensure the Forums are a welcoming place for all. Moderators may take certain actions to keep the Forums organized and helpful for everyone. Actions taken by moderators are not up for public discussion.
Additionally, the following types of activities, are prohibited:
No trolling - the posting of controversial (whether on or off-topic) messages with the intent of baiting other users to reply. Also, in the tradition of the Three Billy Goats Gruff, please do not feed the trolls! If you believe a member is trolling, please contact our Staff or a Moderator.

No badgering - writing hostile or insulting messages aimed at other users for their views, comments, status as a member on the site, or any other reason. If you disagree with another member's opinions, you're welcome to share your own view, but please be polite and respectful - don't let things get personal.

No spamming - the creation of posts that may be viewed as advertisements for any entity or services outside of the Elliott County platforms.

No necroposting - the posting of either irrelevant replies or replies which do not add any additional value to the original topic, on very old topics. Except in rare circumstances, such replies will be removed.

No excessive swearing or language - this is self-explanatory.

No bumping - the act of posting simply to encourage other members to reply to a topic, either frequently, more than once in a row, or within a short period of time. If you create a new topic, and no other members have responded to your topic, it would only be acceptable to bump the topic after one day has passed. Once you have bumped a topic, it is not acceptable to re-bump the topic, unless another member has responded, and the conversation has continued in a way that has added value to the original topic. These guidelines also apply across topics (such as if you were to post in a different topic, encouraging members to post in the original topic in question).

No hijacking of topics by changing the subject. If you want to change the subject, please start a new topic. Note that if a member creates a post that is indirectly related to the original topic and/or last post, or in the general spirit of a conversation (including in jest) which would take place about the topic - this is not considered hijacking.

No cross-post hijacking of topics - if other members have asked a specific question, do not attempt to change said topic into another discussion of an item you have already raised in another topic. For example, if you would like to see Feature Request X, and a member asks how do I accomplish Y? do not answer by trying to change the topic into another discussion on Feature Request X. Similarly, if another member asks the community to review their Store, and asks for tips on how to increase their sales, it would not be appropriate to change the topic, and indicate that the member is not seeing an increase in sales due X,Y and Z; whereas X,Y and Z refer to opinions you recently brought up in another topic. This type of activity takes questions and topics off track, and prevents helpful insights from being shared with our members.

We also ask that you:
Do not post material that is hateful or mean towards race, religion, sex, or any other offensive nature.

Do not post lewd or offensive content, or links to lewd or offensive content.

Do not post any personal information about you or anyone else.

Do not attempt to moderate our forums. If you believe another member is not following our guidelines, please contact our Staff or Moderators. It is generally not appropriate to tell other members what they should, or should not be posting.

Additionally, please note that our Feedback system is an important part of the Elliott County community and the appropriate place to discuss issues with specific transactions. In general, discussing specific issues with other members (by name) is discouraged within the Community Forums, as the Feedback system is the appropriate place for such public posting of information.

Topics and posts which do not comply with our guidelines will generally be removed, without warning, and with or without an explanation. If you find a post you have created has recently been removed, we encourage you to review our Community Forum Guidelines.

Note: The Forums are a public space, and your posts are permanent. Every member is responsible for what they post in the Forums. We don't edit or hide content by request.

Note: We reserve the right to edit or remove any content or post within our forums, and/or ban (temporarily or permanently) any member from our forums. In addition, we also require that you follow any guidelines which could be applicable from our Product Listing guidelines.
