Polyamory on IJ
Because love isn't a limited commodity
(no userpics)
About:
Welcome to Polyamory @ IJ


WHO WE ARE _________________________________

Polyamorous people exist in all walks of life, in all careers, income brackets, races, and nations. We believe that love is not a limited commodity, and for us, monogamy is limiting. We believe and acknowledge that polyamory is not for everyone, and that it is just as valid a lifestyle choice as monogamy.

YOU MUST BE 18+ TO JOIN THE COMMUNITY. If your FULL birthdate, including the year, is NOT visible to the moderators at the time your request to join is processed, you will be denied. You can, of course, remedy this problem and try again.

RULES _________________________________________

These are the product of five years of modding several large comms on LJ, and lessons learned there the hard way.

1) Adhere to the InsaneJournal Terms of Service.

2) No trolling. That goes for coming HERE to troll, and for going into other communities and journals and trolling, following links there, etc.

3) Do not post links to other journals or communities to show off what you feel is an example of stupid or other such activity. See rule #2. That's why. Some people cannot resist the temptation, unfortunately, and it causes problems for everyone.

4) Do not pull any 'you're not poly enough for me' crap. Pointing out flaws in an arrangement that can lead to someone getting badly hurt is one thing. Deciding that because you personally don't like the setup, that someone isn't poly enough for you, that's not a smart thing.

5) You're adults. Act like it. Behave like a petulant child and get bitchy and hissyfitty at other posters or especially a moderator, and you can expect to find yourself banned. We're not babysitters.

6) Do not spam the community. If you have several things to say, keep it to one post. Stay on-topic - ask yourself 'does this pertain to polyamorous relationships in some way' and if you aren't sure, then it probably doesn't. Do not post dramatic "I'm leaving and taking my toys with me!" stamping squealing hissyfits, and don't post "Hi, I'm new here, bye" lame introduction posts either.

7) LJ-CUT all long posts, pictures of any sort, and embedded videos.</b>

8) Do not change the font size or color when posting either comments or entries.

9) Do not disable comments on your post, delete or heavily edit posts, or delete comments (beyond fixing HTML markup or wrong icon usage). These are grounds for banning, especially since the latter two are usually involved in drama and then when people whinge at the mods, the evidence to do anything about it is gone.

10) If you're not the moderator, don't moderate. If there's a problem, let the moderators know, and let them do their job. Please.

11) Don't feed the trolls. If you must, feed us instead. Post recipes.

12) If all else fails, rely on the basics of working and playing well with others that you learned in kindergarten.
