Recently we have had a number of complaints from you, our members, about aggressive, hurtful and bullying behaviour on the Community.
We would like to remind all of our members that this site is a forum for Christians to interact and discuss matters of the Christian faith in a
safe and friendly environment.
We welcome members who do not subscribe to the Christian faith but we expect all members to
respect the views and principles of Christianity.
Equally, within the Christian church there are a variety of views and beliefs, and so we ask that you
behave respectfully toward other Christians who may have differing opinions.
With this in mind, we have put together a summary of our Code of Conduct:
The Premier Community DON’Ts
1. NO NAME CALLING
2. NO SWEARING OR OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE
3. NO HARRASSMENT OR BULLYING
4. NO PERSONAL INSULTS - Debate the issue not the person!
5. NO RETALIATION – Report abusive behaviour!
The Premier Community DOs
1. TREAT OTHERS THE WAY YOU’D LIKE TO BE TREATED
2. REPORT ABUSIVE BEHAVIOUR
3. STAY ON TOPIC
4. PROMOTE POSITIVE CONVERSATION
5. GO TO LIFELINE FOR ADVICE ON PERSONAL MATTERS *
* Questions and advice about personal matters in areas of emotional, medical and mental health are better shared with personal friends or counselling organisations such as Premier Lifeline.
From today, we expect all our members to follow these guidelines. We will not be tolerating abusive behaviour. Members who behave inappropriately on this site will be
warned and this could lead to a
formal ban.
We need
your help to make Premier Community the safe and friendly place you want it to be. You can help by
reporting behaviour you see which doesn’t follow the guidelines. You can report abusive behaviour by using the link at the top right hand side of every page.
Changes to Forums
Premier Community is designed to be a place for
conversation not anger.
We have made some changes to the Forums section of Premier Community to promote friendly discussion.
There are now three categories of forums:
PREMIER LIGHT
Connect with other Christians to share and discuss topics that are helpful, encouraging and non-controversial in nature. A safe and friendly place!
PREMIER DEBATE
Join the debates about the big issues and tricky subjects of the Christian faith. Be prepared to support your point of view but always remember to follow the code of conduct!
UNBELIEVABLE
Discuss differences of belief with Christians, atheists, agnostics and people of other faiths. Topics that get people talking but always with an attitude of respect for the Christian faith.
There are some great discussions in all three categories that you can join right now!
All great communities are made great by their people. The same is true for Premier Community. It’s up to you, our members, to make Premier Community the place you want it to be – a forum to interact and discuss the Christian faith in an encouraging and friendly place.
