LEGAL LIABILITY DISCLAIMER
BY USING THIS GROUP, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ ITS RULES, THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THEM, AND THAT YOU WILL ABIDE BY THEM WHILE PARTICIPATING HERE - INCLUDING DURING ANY AND ALL INTERACTION WITH ITS OTHER MEMBERS. THIS INCLUDES MAINTAINING RESPECT FOR OTHER GROUP MEMBERS, WITHIN EMAIL, INSTANT MESSAGING AND ANY OTHER FORM OF INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION. THIS CONCEPT PERTAINS TO THIS GROUP, AS WELL AS TO ITS SATELLITE GROUPS.
YOU ALSO AGREE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THAT - ALTHOUGH WE DO, IN FACT, HAVE PROFESSIONALS WITHIN OUR MEMBERSHIP - THIS GROUP - AND ITS SATELLITES - ARE INTENDED AS INTERNET COMMUNITY SUPPORT GROUPS, AND THAT THEY ARE NOT INTENDED AS SUBSTITUTES FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT, NOR ARE THEY INTENDED AS ALTERNATIVES TO SUICIDE OR OTHER EMERGENCY HOT LINES, IF YOU’RE IN SERIOUS CRISIS.
SCROLLING DOWN BEYOND THIS POINT SHALL BE CONSIDERED THE EQUIVALENT OF YOUR ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE, EACH AND EVERY TIME THAT YOU VISIT HERE, ACKNOWLEDGING THAT YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS HEREIN.
IF YOU DELIBERATELY OR OTHERWISE CIRCUMVENT THIS PAGE TO ACCESS THE BOARDS OR ANY OTHER FEATURES OF THIS GROUP, YOU AGREE THAT IT IS STILL TO BE CONSTRUED THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE MEMBERSHIP TERMS AND AGREE TO ABIDE BY THEM.
Some areas contain adult content/ references/ innuendoes
which may be inappropriate for non-adult and other sensitive readers
Sharing any information, WHATSOEVER - either by copying and pasting, providing a link to the forums which allows non-members to bypass the group’s intended privacy, or engaging in any other activity, WHATSOEVER which jeopardizes the intended security and safety of ANY ONE OF these mental health-related groups, will be considered as a THREAT to the health and well-being and security of ALL of those who ARE group members.
I’m posting this, so that ALL MEMBERS clearly know and understand that this type of activity - although already covered in the long-existing and plainly posted group rules, and which should just be common sense to any member here - is prohibited, and is a safety measure for all members here.
Doing so will get you reported to the governmental authorities which protect disabled people, and it goes without saying will get you thrown out of all of the related groups.
What’s said in a PRIVATE group, STAYS in that PRIVATE group.
You may freely post the links to the groups, but they MUST BE to the front page ONLY. In other words, the whole purpose of a PRIVATE GROUP is that the members of it only share their thoughts and experiences with OTHER MEMBERS. It is a mutual trust which you AGREE TO by joining and using a PRIVATE group.
