Connections

Make the most of connecting to the “Neighbors” and BFFing them to your Circle by browsing and searching. However,

+ Do not connect or send messages to people you do not know, unless you have a special reason to do so. Use the comment box before emailing them.
+ Do not accept connection requests from people you think will abuse this privilege. If they do so, you may delete them from your circle.
+ If you accept people in your network they will gain access to your network and your profile.


My Profile

+ Stick to factual and personal information in your profile.
+ We would love to see an appropriate picture of you in your profile. No other pictures are accepted.


Communication

Community Guidelines
The character of any society is measured by two criteria: what its members do, and what they do not do. The Community provides ValSecrets members a place to gather and exchange trusted information and ideas. It’s a platform for illuminating, insightful, and instructive conversation. To uphold the value of our community and to secure the rights of all members to enjoy The Community, here are a few guidelines:
ValSecrets Guidelines for Neighbors

+ Be sure to choose the correct category.
+ Be sure to keep it under two minutes
+ We should all limit ourselves to using English only.
+ Members should author with sincerity
+ Subject lines should be short and relevant.
+ Subject lines should not use all caps, excessive punctuation or exaggerated typography ValSecrets disapproves of rude, frivolous or inflammatory secrets.
+ Hate, racism, intolerance, slander and vulgarity have no place in ValSecrets
+ Pornographic or overtly sexual discussions are not acceptable.
+ Let’s all refrain from gossip, putdowns or any negativity

Respect for other members

+ It’s not always easy, but we must respect the right to express opposing opinions.
+ Please, let’s not attack another member's character, background or profile picture.
+ Respect the intent of Secret posters; don’t indulge in mocking or irrelevant one-liners.

Take personal issues or disagreements off the Community.

+ The Community is not the place to announce that you’re drunk, bored or lonely.
+ Secret creators should not draw frivolous attention to themselves or post secrets about specific members.
+ The Community is not for commercial sales, promotions, or job posting.

Copyrighted Material
For legal and ethical reasons, text from third-party sources such as other websites or printed publications cannot be posted (e.g. cut and paste) on the Community, unless the member owns the material's copyright. Instead, please provide a website link to the original source. Also, please provide your own thoughts and comments in addition to the link.
Deletion Of Secrets
ValSecrets reserves the right to delete Secrets considered inappropriate. Action against a member account may also be taken. When we do remove a Secret, we will inform the member who posted the Secret of the reason.
Follow-up secrets posted about a deleted Secret only add confusion. Rather than posting a follow-up Secret, please contact the webmaster by PM with your concern.
