Freemasonry in Africa - Terms of use
Forum Rules/Guidance/ Etiquette: to be read by members before posting!
While the owners of the Eswatini Masonry Forum do not wish in any way to censor the honest opinions of members posting to the Forum, the following points have been decided in order to ensure a sensible, respectful and harmonious atmosphere for the discussion of Masonic related subjects and issues.
Be aware that the Moderators are empowered to delete, move or edit postings, which they consider to be abusive, posted in the context or unrelated. As well as those that do not add anything of substance or relevance to a particular discussion.
The main points to remember are:
1)This community is made up of Non-Masons and and while our experiences and understanding of Freemasonry may differ this is not an acceptable reason to argue or make derisory comments about each other or the Fraternity.
2)Some non-Masons have a very skewed idea of what Freemasonry is. So please try to deal with them in a Masonic (aka courteous) fashion. Remember we are probably the first real Freemasons they’ve ever communicated with.
3)If you think that a poster is a trouble-maker (troll), do not engage with them (this only gives them the attention they crave) notify one of the Moderators by PM and they will deal with it.
4) If a member’s postings need continuous editing/moving they will be removed from the list of members.
5)Ensure that you illustrate the "Masonic" relevance of your posts. It is good to remember that this is a Forum for the discussion of Freemasonry.
6)Topics which are overtly religious and/or political are not acceptable for discussion on this Forum and will be deleted. Neither are postings which criticise how a lodge is being run or its external affairs such as fund raising and encouraging new members.
7) If you do not approve of a topic’s content, do not post to it. If it breaks the Forum rules report it to a Moderator who will consider its suitability or otherwise, alternatively ignore it.
8) Remain on-topic and don’t ramble. Try and only post when you are in a sober mind set.
9) This Forum is here to enable us to discuss Freemasonry it is not here to advertise other sites and it is just plain rude to use it for advertising other websites, publications, services etc. However, approaching Admin and asking for permission before posting may prevent your post from being automatically edited or deleted.
10) This Forum is about the “reality” of Freemasonry not non-Masons’ fantasies. Therefore we do not allow the posting of links to anti-Masonic or conspiracy websites in the Forum, they will be removed automatically.
