To help maintain a pleasant community for all our friends who come to our home, we have the following guidelines in place on the community. Please ensure you take the time to read these especially if you are new to the community . 1. Please do not place posts on this community by e-mail.  You are welcome to receive them in this form from the community, however because of the problems posting by mail can have on the community and the untidy way they appear we ask that all members please come to the site direct to post.  Any posts sent in by e-mail will be deleted and we will delete membership of those who insist in posting this way. 2. Do not badger our members on the community for readings either by e-mail, in the chat-room or on the message boards. We have a specific forum for readings requests and this is open to regular members. Please read our rules in our readings forum before placing a request . 3. Members are asked to place at least 1 post a week.  We are a private community and we encourage all members to join in and get to know one another. We will review the membership listing on a monthly basis and any members who are not participating will be removed. We are a private community to help maintain a friendly atmosphere.  If we aimed to have members who lurked on the community we would have an open access one.  We think it polite that when you join you introduce yourself.  Those recieving posts by mail will be reviewed on a fortnightly basis and anyone who is not participating will be deleted.  We think that it only fair when these members are recieving posts by mail, reading about us and not joining in. We are a warm community and people apply to join, we do not see the point in applying to join a private community and not joining in . 4. No racist, sexist or abusive behavior will be tolerated at all and any members found to be placing abusive postings or who have been rude to people in chat will be instantly banned. 5. Only long standing members may give readings on this community.  Unless participating in the photo meditation, where all are free to join, otherwise , when requesting a reading please read the guidelines for that forum so ya understand how it works, If you wish to give readings then please take the time to read the readings guidelines . 6. Do not spam this community for your own community either on the message boards or in the chat. We have a links page you are welcome to place a link up, providing you are not charging for spiritual services. We are a free community and will not support charges for spiritual services at all. If you spam our members, we will remove you from the community after we have exercised our right to do the same thing on your community. This community has been created with hard work and devotion, we do not spam for members and do not expect people to ride off our hard work. 7. Please do not place images on this community which can infringe bandwidth rules or copyright laws. If you place any images that require link backs please ensure you place them in the links forum. We will delete any posts which violate the terms and conditions of MSN Communities. 8. We provide information and guidance to the best of our abilities to help people develop and receive messages from the spirit world. We will take no responsibility for your actions upon this guidance, just as we have free will to give the information, you have free will to accept it or decline. We reserve the right to remove any member who is abusive, distruptive or not in the interest of this community without notice . 9. We have a lot of message boards, and lots of interaction in the community, please do not create your own mail box in that section of the group - as soon as you are comfortable and have settled into our family one of our managers will create one for you. 10. Due to our concern for saftey and  certain changes in MSN guidelines and community rules, we are an over 18's community only, obviously we cannot always guarntee that this wont sometimes happen due to our lack of information in profiles etc, but when known or seen to be under 18 acceptance will be declined. This is for the safety of our children, as we cannot always guarntee our posts will be suitable for children of all ages, and it is for these reasons only, we run like this, we do have a blessed childrens board tho and are happy to share experiences there. Love and respect
