oct2010babies's Journal

WELCOME TO OCTOBER 2010 BABIES!

This is a community for all parents expecting an October 2010 baby or babies. We welcome all parents, whether this is your first or your tenth, a biological child or you're adopting, whether you're fifteen or forty. We welcome members of all races, religions, and sexual orientations.

RULES
1. All parents and parenting styles are welcome. You are not obligated to agree with everything posted and respectful debate is welcome, but rudeness, name calling, and attacks WILL NOT be tolerated. Remember what your mother told you: if you can't say something nice, think about not saying anything at all.

2. Please post an introductory survey within a week of joining. If you want to be included on the Due Date List, comment here.

3. Friends locked posts must stay within the community. Reposting locked items will definitely get you warned and might get you banned.

4. Large pictures, exceedingly long entries, and sensitive topics need to be placed under an LJ cut. It's not a big deal if you forget, we all understand pregnancy brain, but please rectify it as soon as you can. If I have to remind you too many times and I don't have time to fix it, your entry may be deleted.

5. If you have an issue with another member, feel you're being harassed/stalked, or feel there is a troll, email oct2010mods@gmail.com and we will look into it.

6. Flounces will result in the moderator mocking you to her cats and the post will be deleted.

7. Sales posts are welcome, but please mark it "SALE" in the subject and place the post under a cut. Promotions of the community are welcomed. Promotions of another community must be baby related and marked in the subject.

8. Off topic posts waste everyone's time and will be deleted. If you posted here accidentally, feel free to delete it yourself.

9. There is only one moderator right now, so be patient. Being a mod does not obligate me to take abuse if you don't like a decision.

WARNING & BANNING
We all make mistakes and have cranky days. A warning does not mean you're going to be banned, it's just that: a warning to think about what you're saying. If you were out of line, say you're sorry. If you don't like how something is going, stop responding. If we're mature enough to be parents, we should be mature enough to do this much.

There are a few things that are immediate grounds for banning. I will not tolerate attacks against other members because you don't agree with their choices.

If you feel you have been banned unfairly, email me and we can discuss it.

Example: Since circumcision wank is a big issue: someone is looking for information on circumcision after they have decided it is for them. Before you respond, assume they are smart enough to have researched it and made an informed choice. Do not post links for the case against it. That will get you a warning. If you post how the OP is a horrible parent and should never be allowed near a child, I will ban you, no questions asked.
