An International Fellowship of Spirit-Empowered Believers
Rules of Conduct
Rules on the Koinonia Network
1. The administrators of the Koinonia Network reserve the right to take down any posts they feel are inappropriate without notification to the member who made the post. Any ideas, opinions or thoughts expressed on the Koinonia Network are not necessarily those of the Koinonia Network or affiliated ministries.
2. Anyone who fails to follow the Koinonia Network forum Rules and Regulations will forfeit their membership in the Koinonia Network and they will be banned from the site.
3. There will be no divisive political conversations on the Forums. If you support a particular person or law please express your biblically based perspective in a kind and loving way which demonstrates honor toward those whom would disagree. You are encouraged to bring to the attention of other members new rules and/or laws coupled with scripture which you believe reveals God’s stand and position on the issue, and accompanied by any course of action you are recommending individuals consider taking.
4. No doctrinally divisional posts will be allowed. No exceptions! We don’t need or want to get into deep doctrinal discussions that divide the body. We want the focus to remain on Christ crucified, resurrected and preaching the Word. The posts on the forum should be positive, productive, and free from finger pointing. Remember the primary purpose of the forum is to give Koinonia Network members a place to communicate, exchange stories, gain knowledge, receive encouragement, and to help each other be the best Christians and Evangelists we can possibly be.
5. No soliciting other members for financial donations for any cause whether for business, personal or ministry needs.
6. This is not the Dating Game or the Love Boat. There will be no facilitation of personal relationships that are more than friendships or any flirtatious type of conversation on the Forums. If you have feelings for someone and want to pursue a relationship with them, please do it off the forum.
7. No profane language will be tolerated on the forum. Need we say more?
8. You must treat all other members with the love and respect you would give to Jesus at all times. No one is to make harsh or coarse joking about another member whether in private or in public.
9. By posting and/or uploading information to the Koinonia Network forum, you are granting the Koinonia Network permission to use those items in any way they want or deem necessary.
10. There will be NO posting of phone numbers in the comments section of members web pages. If you want a member to have your phone number, ask them if they want it then send it via email message.
11. Pictures posted on the site must be wholesome and Christ honoring.
We reserve the right to ban any member that violates these rules without warning.
General Guidelines for the Ning Network
Just like with any online service, you should exercise common sense when using Ning. Below we’ve outlined some simple guidelines to keep in mind:
* Create strong passwords and keep them secure, which means you should never share your password with anyone! No one on the Ning Team will ever ask you for your password.
* Adjust your privacy settings so they match your level of comfort and remember to review them often.
* Be cautious about posting and sharing personal information, especially information that could be used to identify you or locate you online, such as your address or telephone number.
* Report members and content that violate our Terms of Service to the Network Creator or directly to us.
* Block anyone who sends you unwanted or inappropriate communications and report it to the Network Creator or directly to us.
* Don’t post anything that would embarrass you later. Think twice about posting a photo or other information you wouldn’t want your parents, potential employers, college or boss to see.
* Don’t say you’re older than 18 if you’re not and don’t say you’re younger than 18 if you’re not. If we determine that you're under 13 and are pretending to be older, we'll have to disable your account. If we determine that you're over 18 and are pretending to be a teenager to contact underage users, we will disable your account.
