Discussions Board Cleanup Options

[Bhava (Admin)]

Dear Members and Visitors,

Hare Krishna!

Those of you who are returning, will notice that a number of posts have either been moved or deleted--this is being done in an effort to clean up the board. More cleaning is in progress...

I took the board offline a couple of years ago primarily due to a lack of time that I could devote to it. The board became overwhelmed by posts that were either offensive to others, which promoted other groups, or were outright spam!

I do not have the time or interest in constantly warning of infringements to our posting policy (which was stated at signup). Those engaged in pointing out the defects of others (justified or not), may participate in the many other forums that are out there, but not this one!

The purpose of this board is:
- To progress in the understanding of Krishna bhakti-tattva (the truths of transcendental loving devotion to Krishna).

To this end, the following should be observed:
- To guide those who are new to Krishna bhakti (devotion to Krishna).
- To further education those already on the path of devotion to Krishna.
- To clear misunderstandings which may hamper progress on the path of devotion to Krishna.
- And to provide devotional resorces for devotees of Krishna.

The following must be avoided:
- Offensive and diminutive statements toward others.
- Offensive and diminutive statements toward others spiritual beliefs, etc.
- The use of foul, bawdy, harsh, sarcastic, or otherwise inapropriate types of language.
- The promotion of groups outside of ISKCON.
- Non-devotional advertisements.
- And spam, etc.

Those who do not follow the above, will have their posts deleted, and after no more than three such warnings, their names and IP address will be banned.

We apologize for such apparently severe messures, but if such polocies are not implemented and maintained, the board will move in a direction that it is not intended, and those who engage in such activity will be the cause of others leaving.

Thank you,
