The following rules and guidelines are a basis for all activities (including the message boards, the guestbook, calendar, etc.) found on the IndigoSociety website (http://www.indigosociety.com). Agreement to these guidelines provides that you are over the age of 13.
Content: The IndigoSociety.com website is created to be a community for indigo resources and networking.
Legal Issues and Lawsuits: You agree not to use this website as a place to recruit others to help you in any legal action or data gathering for legal action.
Support on the Message Boards: Please keep all support offers within the public confines of the posts and threads. You may not ask the members to email you for support issues. Public message boards provide that many will receive support even when lurking. Suggesting that members email so that you can provide information is considered solicitation.
Inappropriate Word Usage: The Indigo Society message boards have a censor that removes inappropriate words and replaces them with ***. Do not attempt to bypass the censor by misspelling inappropriate words.
Solicitations (SPAM): It is against board rules to invite, solicit or coerce others to join other community websites through posts, email, PM, use of indigosociety membership list or any other resource within the indigosociety website. Please note that advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are inappropriate to personally post, send through PM, email or any other feature of the indigosociety.com website: message boards, guestbook, etc, with the exception of the forum for ADVERTISERS. Further, please do not use hotlinks to link to this site's graphics.
Informational links: We allow you to add informational/educational links in reply to a support request thread only if the link goes to a non-commercial site. Additionally, threads started for the purpose to provide information/link will be removed. Submit these links to our RESOURCE directory instead.
Solicitations/Interview/Data Gathering You agree not to use the message boards, membership list, PM, guestbook as a way to gather data, research, request interviews without permission of the owner of IndigoSociety. Use the contact us form for permission and additional information.
Copyright material: You agree not to post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or by IndigoSociety. This includes text content, art or photos.
Property of IndigoSociety.com: Content created by this website through the use of posts/threads and FAQ and/or polls remains the property of this website based on copyright law.
Public Threats: You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this website (with message boards, chatroom or other interactives of Indigo Society) to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law.
Public Flames/Hot Topics: You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not make derogatory comments about any person based on religion, race, gender, etc. Please remember this is a large community with many members from all parts of the world, representing all people. Please refrain from posting messages that contain potential hot topics known as polarizing arguments. This includes discussions of alternative lifestyles and differences of sexual preferences. A tone of "kindness" is appreciated for all discussions.
Public Disagreements with Administration/Staff or Guidelines: You agree that if you disagree with Indigo Society website policy or action of a staff member, you will not post public arguments or disagreements nor attempt to petition the owner/administration to change policy through posts, polls, email, PM or any other service found within the Indigo Society Website. If you disagree, you may respectfully email the owner of Indigo Society.
Revealing your identity: Under normal membership circumstances your membership is protected within the IndigoSociety.com privacy policy. Indigo Society, however, reserve the right to reveal your identity (or whatever information we know about you) in the event of a complaint or legal action arising from any message posted by you or any other activity on the interactives of this website.
Username/Account: Each member of Indigo Society may have no more than one username/account. If you have trouble with your log-in or password, contact the HELP DESK rather than registering again. Posts may be merged at the discretion of the administration of Indigo Society of any member with two or more user accounts.
Moving posts: The staff of IndigoSociety.com reserves the right to move your post from one forum category to another for the sole purpose of providing you with the best possible support for your needs. We believe it is important to keep your posts within the proper forum for your support needs as well as our visiting members reading. Additionally, please do not cross-post (posting the same message in more than one forum). Duplicate posts will be removed.
Disabling/editing of posts/users: The team of Indigosociety.com reserves the right to edit/remove the posts and/or disable the account of any member who does not comply with these community guidelines or any reason deemed appropriate by the administration for the good of the community and its safety. Requests for removal will entail removing personal data, location, avatar, etc,. to protect the privacy of the person but the member account will remain intact because of the nature of the threading of posts within the database.
Freedom of Speech? Although the constitution of the US guarantees that “Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech”, Indigo Society is not Congress. Freedom of speech rights do not extend to this privately owned website. The TOS/Guidelines of this website governs the behaviors and activities of the members. If you choose not to follow the guidelines agreed to during registration, the result is a disabling of your account.
