New Group Rules

[Barb135]

This is a place where we can discuss current events - what happens around the world and is reported in the news. Healthy debates and discussions regarding issues we feel strongly about will be allowed; however, personal attacks will not be tolerated, nor will threads and/or comments that are determined to be argumentative, combative, or offensive.  

MedHelp has recently changed their Terms of Use; with the new format and other changes being made, this would be a good time to familiarize yourselves with the new TOU as well.  You can access those via the following link:  http://www.medhelp.org/legal/terms_of_use

Name calling, ridicule and abusive language is not allowed (per MH Terms of Use); this includes the title of your thread.  Any thread posted with derogatory name calling in the title will be deleted, no matter how informative your thread might be, unless it’s part of the published title of the article you’re posting…This type of abuse brings nothing constructive to the forum and serves only to instigate altercations.  

We are all adults and are expected to behave accordingly… Failure to comply with these rules will result in being deleted from the group membership list.  

You *must* post a link to your source or your thread will be deleted.

Yes, it "is" the moderator's prerogative... I have the ability to "pin" certain posts to the top of the page for a specified number of days and when those days are up, it automatically moves down the page like all the others.  Because I posted this on a weekend, I chose to keep it up for 4 days to make sure that everyone would see it.  

Today, Dec 8, is the last day it will be pinned here.  

For those who have not yet experienced the new format, the rules will be are visible at the top of the home page all the time...That's MedHelp's doing, not mine...

Moderator's prerogative.

How does this post stay at the top of the page?

Thank you.
We are adults and should be able to discuss events without resorting to grammar school name-calling.

At the top of the CE home page (above the rules of the group), there's a red "As a Question" button right beside the search box.  Click on that and it will bring up the boxes to post.  You can either "Ask a Question" or "Post a Poll", then is Question Title but it asks "What is your health question?"... Put your title there... then is "Question Details"  and says "Tell the community more details about your question here"... that's where you put the rest of post.  There's a blue "Submit you Question" at the bottom...

How do you post a topic?  The instructions I got from medhelp are irrelevant.
