Forum rules: *All actual rules are numbered and made bold - If these rules are broken it will result in your account been suspended and or deleted dependant on the severity of the rule break.*
1.While we all have opinions, please keep your posts polite and friendly. Be respectful of others opinions even if you don’t agree - We will not tolerate spamming or flaming.
2. You may not ever represent yourself as another person, company or entity.
3. We do not allow curse words and have a word censor in place to avoid having curse words used. DO NOT out-smart the censor by putting a space or a dash in words that you think may be censored.
4. You may introduce your own "chi" related or other commercial business in the buyers/sellers or flea market section (whichever is relevant) but there is a 100 post minimum before this is allowed. We reserve the right to remove any posts that we consider to be unnecessary advertising. We ask that you be an active member to continue advertising on the forum.
5. Users agree not to use the email addresses of any members of the forum for any other purpose than individual personal communication. Any mailing in bulk to the forum members or any unsolicited marketing email to members will result in immediate suspension of your membership.
6. If a post does get out of hand and rules have been broken, the post may be locked, deleted and/or edited to remove any flaming or cursing. The Admin team will then review the situation and suspend/ban members if appropriate.
7. Please notify a Administrator if you feel there is a problem with a thread or a member. Do not try to take matters into your own hands.
8. We do not endorse fundraising for individuals on this site and we do not want the site utilized to aid collecting funds - This is to protect individuals from fraudulant members. We all think we know each other and trust each other but this is the Internet and it is very easy to take advantage of people.
9. Please remember that we can not have a rule for everything, and because of unique situations or a few people who may abuse our forums or cause other problems (even if those are not listed in the rules), chihuahua-world.com reserves the right to react to these issues in a way that protects both the boards and the members.
10. You cannot advertise you own Chihuahua forum here you cannot send private messages to other members inviting them to your forum. If you have been warned and continue to private message our members to invite them to join your forum you will be subject to an immediate ban.
11. If you use the site for health questions about your chihuahua and are given medical advice etc please be aware that this does not negate the need for your dog to see an actual Vetenarian.
12. Chihuahua World has a ZERO TOLERANCE policy when it comes to animal cruelty. Any member suspected of animal cruelty, neglect, or abuse of any kind be it passive or active acts, will have their account suspended immediately and contacted by a Senior Administrator to be given the chance to defend themselves and clarify any misunderstandings. If there is evidentiary support of active cruelty, local authorities will be notified and the offending member will be banned. If a member is suspect of passive cruelty every attempt will be taken to educate the member in hopes that the situation will be rectified. If the situation is rectified in a timely manner the member’s account will be reinstated pending a public apology. If the passive cruelty is not rectified in a timely manner the member will be banned and the local authorities will be notified.
Many Thanks The Admin Team
