At the direction of the EC, and in an effort to "clean-up" the face/image of MGO (these forums), it is once again necessary to revisit/review the MGO Forums Acceptable Use Policy (AUP):

http://www.migunowners.org/forum/announcement.php?f=178

There has been noted rise in abuse of the following stipulations:

You agree not to post any:

Abusive Material
Obscene Material
Vulgar Material
Slanderous/Libelous Material
Hateful Material
Threatening Material
Sexually-Oriented Material
Material That May Violate Any Applicable LawsMGO's forums were founded in the spirit of "uncensored" dialog. The intent behind this founding principle was to allow members to speak freely, make their points, post questions, debate issues, etc., without worry of being shut-down, censored, banned, etc., including when those questions/debates/etc may be directed toward or perceived as sensitive to the "officials" of MGO.

However, that certainly doesn't mean that in the process, one must be crude, rude, vulgar, abusive/hateful, etc. It IS possible to make a point, participate in a debate, etc without violating the AUP. The greater majority of MGO's forum members manage to do so without issue. Holding all members to the terms of the AUP should NOT be perceived as censorship.

It is the desire of the EC to have MGO's forums be a place that you would freely refer coworkers, church members, business executives (potential advertisers), family members (including women and children), etc., without concern of embarrassment due to crude subject matter, language, conduct, etc.

We ask that everyone keep this in mind when posting on MGO's forums.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
