Guidelines

This site is a community newsletter. All posts should contain information about valley people, places, and events. Let's get to know the folks in our community better.

All posts will be by and about WCA members. (Note: I will make an exception and post messages from nonmembers if the item is about Woodland Valley.)

Keep things brief. If posts are too long they will be edited. Only one or two photos or pieces of artwork per post.

All posts must be G rated including any website links. This is a family site. Let's make it so even the kiddies can read it. Anything questionable will be reviewed by the WCA blog committee. The decision of the committee is final.

The WCA supports diversity, tolerance and mutual respect. Nothing of a racist, sexist, intolerant or derogatory nature will be posted.

No politics. Except for informational things like caucus times and dates, voting reminders and election results, nothing else of a political nature will be posted. Since our membership has diverse political views this could only spoil the fun.

This site is maintained on a volunteer basis. We will try our best, but there is no guarantee that everything will get posted. Posts will be made on a first come first serve basis.

No prices given. If some of our members have a store, give classes, provide services we will post the what, where, when of it but we will not give costs.

Everyone's privacy will be respected. No email address will be given without the express permission of the owner of that email account.

All photos must be digital. Don't try and slip me your 4x6 prints at the Boiceville Supermarket. Scanning is a time consuming process and needs to be done by the member who wants to post the photo. Copyright laws will be respected. No photos containing children will be posted without a direct email from their parents giving us permission to put their child's photo on the site.

Sorry if these guidelines sound a bit stern. Now that we have laid out the ground rules I promise we'll have some fun!
