Social/Political/Religious Issues
Corpswives is a large forum with many members and a myriad of various personal beliefs. It is up to YOU to be conscious and respectful of other's personal beliefs regarding any social, political or religious issue.
It's important to remember that this is a SUPPORT FORUM. Not a DEBATE FORUM. With this in mind, please use your best discretion when posting about social issues/religious issues/political issues - this includes both polls and posting.
We ask you to stay away from issues dealing with personal beliefs - including but not limited to politics, religion, and major social issues in which members may have a personal attachment. Please reserve these discussions for personal conversations or forums outside of the Corpswives Sisterhood. Please note that topics dealing with these issues will be closed at moderators/administrators' discression if they begin to get heated. If this guideline is violated repeatedly, your membership may be suspended or terminated.
This is not in any way an attempt to disregard any member's personal beliefs, but instead a means for facilitating the support and values that Corpswives was founded upon. Please remember that in asking you to do this, it is in an effort to keep CW from becoming a forum for debate/argument, and to help Corpswives retain it's reputation for support and sisterhood.
Administrative/Moderator Forum Participation
Please note that the personal views expressed within this forum by members of the Corpswives Team DO NOT reflect in any way the views of the Corpswives sisterhood or website in any way.
Corpswives itself is a collective group of diverse views, and claims no affiliation with any side of any political, social, or religious issues.
___________________________________________
Security:
Corpswives holds security in the HIGHEST REGARD. We will not tolerate violation of OPSEC regulations (See Do not post list above). If you are caught releasing critical information your account may be suspended or terminated without warning.
