Rules of Membership

The following rules are present upon the registration for membership page and members have agreed to them by checking the box 'I agree to terms'. It is repeated here for easy access to those that may need reminding of the rules.

I have also decided it a good place to post the guidlines for those that may need to recover their password. This is simply because we do not want too many 'stickys' at the top of sections, masking members topics.

Ok, the boring bit first: But you are supposed to have read it. I'm assuming you already have...!

So, on to specifics.

It is advisable to write passwords down in a place only you can recover it from.

An important note to those that wish to join that are not fully out: It is advised that you form a new, memorable e-mail and password containing your intended username, certainly not one containing your untransitioned 'deadname'.

Password Recovery
Should a member forget their password there are two courses of action. You can set up a temporary 'fake' new account and let me know by PM. I'll send you a code for your old account to reset your forgotten password. Alternatively you can e-mail me at (deleted temporarily, no new memberships presently, see post in general discussion) for a new code to rest your password. Be warned, I am not a regular checker of mail (and this is not my regular e-mail address), about once a week.

Specific rules to membership of transgenderboards.com
Personal attacks, insults, calling members out, asking for photographs, proposing dates, sexual innuendo are unacceptable and warnings will be given for such behaviour, quickly followed by a ban, should the behaviour persist. There are very good reasons for these prohibitions including protecting vulnerable members from mental abuse, internet security for individuals from predators and the integrity of transgenderboards.com aka The Transgender Times. Strong disagreement in discussion is fine, even encouraged, but please do not resort to personal attacks in such debates.

Whilst it is fine to talk of your prescribed medications and effects, or ask questions about such, it is not acceptable to write of unrecognisable techniques and remedies outside recognised medical procedure. This should include advising other members of herbal and any other remedy that may harm. Or in cases where such a post or topic, where it could be perceived that others may be tempted to try such harmful remedies. It is fine to advise in a post against those that write of their own regimen, but if any post is deemed, by Moderators or Admin, to promote, intended or otherwise, very harmful techniques in the quest of feminisation or masculation, the post will be removed.

Please enjoy the boards and uphold transgenderboards.com's integrity as a safe haven for transgender women and men, by showing respect to all other members.
