The Middle Georgia Golf forum, hereinafter The Forum, is a private Forum. Membership in the Forum is a privilege granted solely and exclusively by the Forum. Privileges may be terminated at any time at the sole discretion of the Forum and without notice.
General Rules
Posts appear on the Forum as they are entered. It is impossible to monitor each post in real time. The Forum will strive to ensure that all posts are polite, professional and conform to a “G” rating due to an absence of violence, sexual content and strong language. Furthermore, it is the intent of the Forum to provide an atmosphere where every member, regardless of age, nationality, race, creed, political persuasion, sex, or level of education, shall be treated with the respect due them. Any material deemed to be in poor taste or inflammatory to the forum and/or its members may be removed at any time.
Posts containing personal attacks or harassing, inflammatory, vulgar, abusive, threatening, sexually-oriented, hateful, or obscene language are prohibited on this Forum. Posts violating this prohibition will be removed. A member who violates this prohibition may be banned from the Forum. This prohibition includes attempts to alter words or phrases to avoid technical violation of the rules. The Forum will act more harshly toward those who intended to achieve a violation of the intent of the Forum rules by “typing around the censors” or replacing vulgarity with phrases or words such as “!@&)!@$*”. If you cannot communicate without using profanity or vulgarity then this is not the place for you. If you occasionally feel the need to be emphatic about making your point then use one or more of the many emoticons we have available, but do not resort to profanity.
The Forum expects and encourages the lively exchange of ideas and opinions. The Forum also expects these exchanges to be free of rancor and personal invectives. The rules are simple and clear for all. Be polite or be gone.
Language
English is the language of the Forum. Posts using a language other than English must include a full and complete English translation.

User names may not include, or allude to business names or any other profit making agendas.
Members found to have multiple user names with or without the intent of causing disruption on the forums will be removed.
