4) INAPPROPRIATE POSTS

Before making your posts, please try to remember this is a social network which works hard to provide support and inspiration to it’s members.

A) POLITICAL/RELIGIOUS POSTS

We do NOT tolerate inappropriate posts esp. those of a political nature. To avoid conflict we have a prohibition of discussions regarding political opinions or religious beliefs. That is why the prayer chain is non-denominational.

B) Other INAPPRORIATE POSTS

Inappropriate posts include posts which are not related to Agent Orange, other Military Exposures or veteransā€™ issues.

C) IMAGES

Itā€™s inappropriate to post too many images. Please check to be sure the social network wall is not full of other images already.

INAPPROPRIATE POSTS WILL BE REMOVED!!

Do not expect to be notified in advance. The post will be removed. If it is also considered offensive then the person responsible will also be removed and banned.

5) TRAUMA

Try to keep in mind that all of us have experienced one type of trauma or another. That means we are more sensitive to certain situations, statements or circumstances. Be sure to keep that in mind when choosing posts or responding to another members post.

We all have triggers; I know, I do.

Sometimes it doesn’t take much to set them off. If you feel like that has happened to you; take time out before posting or email admin at aolegacy@gmail.com

6) AUTOMATIC SUSPENSION

If you block the admins you will automatically be blocked from this group, permanently. No exceptions. Do not block the administrators.

7) ADMINS, AND MODERATOR’S – WHO ARE THEY?

We have two (2) admins in the social network; Sharon L. Perry (myself), Christine Pultz and one (1) moderator, Bruce Dobson.

8) AGENT ORANGE ACTIVISTS


In the past we have had other online support groups. We have encountered a number of Agent Orange Activists who are filmmakers, authors and the like. Some activists are also family members, some have no relation. However, we have decided that we can’t accommodate both.

Our past experience has been that most of these individuals are not interested in finding comfort and support. Therefore, in order to protect our members privacy; these individuals will be removed once they have been identified.

9) EMAILS/NOTIFICATIONS

Unknown at this time…

12) BLOCKING ADMINS:Ā 

If you block an admin you will be removed from the group and banned permanently. We can still see you in the group even though we are blocked on facebook. If you broke the rules then leave because if you block us you will never get back in the social network.
