Thank you Mary Sara. When i read, "Just a note to remind all that the local guidelines from the old board are still applicable on the new board." it makes me wonder whether there is only one local guideline -- the one regarding the pro-choice/pro-life terminology, or if there are additional guidelineS that are found on the old board (which I'm not sure how to get to). I guess you are saying that the PC/PL terminology is the only local guideline, beyond the ROC, that applies here. Please correct me if I am still misunderstanding.

Hi NewsJ, I took the liberty of transferring your post over here to this thread
where the information on this particular board's "Local Guidelines" happens to be.

With regards to this board's guidelines, yes, they are the same as the old board.
The same guidelines apply for the new boards.
That terms describing the two sides of the abortion debate are limited to
Pro-Life and Pro-Choice.

After that, the same general Bnet Rules of Conduct apply just as on any
other Forum board.

But do realize that not all boards have individual board guidelines, only
certain boards which are not set-up to be a debate environment so are thus
considered a "protected" board where the local guideline would indicate such.
Or certain boards that are hot-topic debates like this one for instance.
Different boards may have different guidelines so on each new board, one
can find a sticky thread which should show in the title, "Local Guidelines."

Hope that helps to clear up any questions you may have had. :)

Thanks,
