Welcome to the new Adventist-Resources forum 
Purpose/Vision/Mission Statement
The Adventist-Resources forum has been created to supplement the adventist-resources.com website as a place where visitors can contribute to discussion & input in addition to the Facebook page.
Currently it is a personal endevour and has no official church backing but it is fully supportive of the Seventh-day Adventist church and its mission.

Registration Agreement
Registering and participation on this forum requires that you agree to the terms set out in these guidelines. They are not meant to dampen your fun but just keep us focused on the purpose of these forums and the mission ahead of us.
Discussion Guidelines
– first and foremost, this is a Seventh-day Adventist forum. Please keep that in mind. Regardless of how interesting other resources from other churches might be, we want to keep this focused on the abundance of resources we already have available to us and that are wholly in keeping with the doctrines/beliefs/standards of the church – the only exception to this rule is in the inspiration section where you can post what other churches have done with their websites that can give inspiration.
– as it is primarily an information based forum, it is expected that there will be no unruly behaviour or divisive discussion – admin/s are all busy with families, work and other responsibilities and are not here to babysit any unplesantries.
– be respectful in all your conversations. If you see something that is incorrect, can be done better or differently, “You are an idiot…” would be viewed as bad form worthy of a warning at the very least. We want this to be a welcoming place where people of all levels of abilities can participate and feel comfortable
– if you see something that you can help with, don’t wait for an admin to answer – that’s what community is all about!
Threads & Thread Naming
Please have a genuine purpose for creating a thread – “Hello World!” is a great starting output when you are learning to code, absolutely fine in the introductions thread, but not deserving of it’s own thread just anywhere.
For the sake of clarity of purpose, and to make forum searching easier – give your thread titles good clear concise names.
Forum admins/staff reserve the right to remove threads with no purpose and adjust thread titles as the need arises.
Doctrinal Discussions
– admin/s on the forum are all mainstream Seventh-day Adventists with a strong commitment to the church, it’s doctrines, beliefs and standards
– if you have resources/links that can be used to promote our biblical standards etc then by all means share
– this isn’t however a place to bring any of our church positions into question or discussion and render them open for any kind of attack. There are plenty of places that happens – this is not that place
Moderator Contact
– again please be respectful with all contact
– do not abuse the Private Messaging system
– if you see anything that needs dealing with, don’t respond & make things worse
– that includes inappropriate behaviour or postings
– there may be times when information/links are provided that are not in keeping with the mainstream church and posted innocently. In such cases please provide link details and reasons as to why you may be aware they shouldn’t be posted here.
Warnings and bans (it needs dealing with)
– again, admin doesn’t really have time to deal with anything of the sort on a constant basis – please be self regulating
– disrespect of any kind to admins or other forum members will earn you a warning or if warranted, time out
– bad language that slips through filtering will earn you time out
– spam/inappropriate postings/links will likely earn you a ban
– anyone here just to attack the church or fight will be banned… simple
