General Forum Rules
Like any other forum, this one also had rules that all members, staff included must abide by to keep the forums fun and safe. Please carefully read over the rules. If there is an update at any time to our rules, this post wI'll be updated and published with a new publication date. As a general rule of thumb, it is a good idea to read the rules atleast once per month in case anything had changed and to jog your memory.

- No hate speech of any type will be tolerated regardless of whom it is directed toward. This is grounds for immediate ban.
- Do NOT attack another member for any reason. Personal attacks on members because of their opinions or feelings isn't tolerated here. It is in some places but this is not one. Attack the subject at hand and NOT the person writing it.
- Be respectful and courteous toward others. Everyone's opinions and feelings differ. No two people will feel the exact same way all the time. Treat others as you wish to be treated in return.
- Keep profanity to a minimum. While this is a forum discussing possible rape and murder of someone, we don't have to act like we are animals. I understand profanity will be used but let's try to keep it fairly clean. Don't misunderstand, profanity is allowed here but repetitive profanity is looked down upon.
- Think before you type. Before you post, read what you have said and if you wouldn't want it being said to you, maybe you should not post it.
- This is a forum about murder! Keep that in mind here, people. Tempers are going to flare, topics will be heavily debated and there will be displays of anger. Anger is a totally normal and acceptable behavior in response to a murder of another human being.
- Keep in mind, this is a PUBLIC FORUM. Anything you post is visible to anyone with Internet access! Please also keep in mind that since this is a public venue, members of the Halbach, Avery and Dassey families could be here reading these posts. Please take that into consideration when post anything.
- Understand that this forum allows the views, opinions and beliefs of other individuals to be posted and they may differ from yours. This forum does not take sides of whether Avery and Dassey are innocent or guilty, it's simply provided as a safe haven for those who want to discuss and debate that.
- This forum is different from other venues for this topic on the web. I have visited many sites that allow personal expression of their opinions on this case and all I can say is wow to some of the things allowed. I see members attacking and degrading each other, threatening of specific families involved and all types of inappropriate things. Just so it is known and understood, we do NOT do that here. This is and will be a safe haven for EVERYONE regardless of their involvement with this case. Personal attacks on members and threats of any type will be dealt with appropriately. We also don't attack forum newcomers, we welcome them.
- If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please contact me directly or contact another staff member. We are always happy to help out.
