Our rules are general guidelines for posting and should be viewed as such. Enforcement will be left up to the discression of the Administrator or Moderator of any particular forum and on a case by case basis. Depending upon the nature of the post or its severity, any violation may result in immediate banishment from our forums completely, or your post may be removed, moved, or edited for content, and without notice. In devising this list, I have taken notice of what works or does not work on other bulletin boards. I have also added some rules I feel will ensure that CosZ Shack New Age Message Board Forum as well as our Chat remain a place for open public discussion to both adult and young alike.

Disagreements are bound to happen from time to time, yet I truly believe that it is possible to disagree in a cordial and respectful manner without ever resorting to personal attacks. This can be achieved by addressing the *content* of a post and not necessarily the person. So if you have a knee jerk response, and forget to Preview, please take responsibility for you own words and edit your own post by removing any offensive language. You will have a one hour window to do so via the Edit Button. If you miss that window of opportunity and wish a post edited, please contact the forum Moderator by providing the exact url location and the revision you wish to make.

Note: I am told that an up and coming newer software release of will contain a REPORT A POST feature; but for now, Members are asked to report any serious violation to the Administrator and/or Moderators. Let's keep our energy high, folks.

Chat Room Policy
