Rules and Guidlines

[Michael Hyde]

Welcome to The Houseparent Network Forum

I hope it will be a useful resource for everyone and that it will help y'all be better houseparents and residential childcare providers.

Please be respectful at all times.  The use of profanity or vulgarity will not be tolerated and those that do it will be banned.

DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT, USE THIS FORUM TO PROMOTE YOUR WEBSITE.  Those that do will be considered spammers and will be banned.

DO NOT USE IT TO POST JOB LISTINGS AT YOUR FACILITY!!!  Those facilities that pay to post their listings on The Houseparent Network make it possible to have all the other resources that are available.  Maintaining this website is expensive, and I couldn't afford to do it without them. 

Do NOT post copyrighted material.  I will delete all posts that are determined to be copyright infringements and posters will be banned.

It is OK to disagree but be sure you do it in a respectful manner.  I reserve the right to ban any user, without notice at my discretion.

It has come to my attention that some people have had trouble registering.  Because of those evil bots out there that work constantly to register Forum Spammers I have had to implement some strong antibot/antispam measures.

If you are having trouble registering, confirming your account or receive and E-mail that says you have to be approved by admin, please contact me and I will do what I can resolve things for you.  If I am fairly certain your not a Forum Spammer I will approve your account or manually confirm it for you.  Email address is houseparentnetwork@gmail.com
