We had a post of Site Rules in our previous BBC Poetry Corner, Poets,
with hindsight, it is better to outline a 'certain' desired code of conduct here.

 This is a 'POETRY & WRITING' group and functions well within its friendly ambience,
this we know, but it has become necessary to make a couple of requests. 

Respect other's beliefs and do not reiterate your own unnecessarily.
This is not a 'religious' group, nor is it an 'anti religious' one.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and paths they wish to follow, so
DO NOT BE 'EMPHATIC' ABOUT YOUR OWN TO AN 'EXCESSIVE' DEGREE
(if that is an impossible request - I suggest you have joined the wrong group)

and last, but most important, do not abuse the edit and delete facilities.
These are tools to assist in corrections and/or desired presentation of work,
not 'manipulate' nor create 'ambiguity' of opinions expressed within reply boxes.
When such actions become evident, the posts will be removed by the management.

This behaviour will also incur a warning and any further need
of intervention will necessitate a request to relinquish membership.
