Forum Safety

While our Forums are a great place for interacting and connecting with Members, please keep in mind, cyber-scammers and identity thieves are really skilled at stealing Member information. Practicing online safety can help protect Member.

Take care to avoid sharing ANY personal information that can help Member become a target. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Phone number.
• Home address.
• Email address.
• Birthdate.
• Where Member works and work address.
• Don’t broadcast if Member will be traveling as Member’s vacant home could become a target.
• Don’t share the name of Member’s pets, schools, favorite colors, etc., because hackers can use this information to access Member’s accounts.
• Be cautious if a Member is invited to meet someone they don’t know in person.  Don’t invite them to Member’s home. If Members do decide to meet, make sure the meeting place is somewhere public and, if possible, take a friend along.
• Don't store passwords in Member’s web browser. If a phone, tablet, or laptop is stolen, saved passwords can provide access to social accounts, shopping sites, financial accounts, email, etc.
• Using strong passwords protect Member’s phone, tablet, or laptop so if they’re lost or stolen, there’s no easy access.
• If Member suspect personal information has been comprised, change username and password immediately and monitor credit reports for suspicious activity.  
• Make sure antivirus and/or malware software is up to date.  
• Use caution if using a hotspot. Hackers use “man in the middle attacks” at coffee shops and other public places. They’re looking to intercept passwords and other private information. Should Member go online at these places, use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) as protection.
• Don’t click on or follow external links if Member don’t trust them.
• Protect identity by not using Member’s real name or photo and use an avatar or image and a screen name.

Forum Standards & Code of Conduct

Spuggz is committed to the highest standards of integrity and professional conduct. Members who submit content have a duty to ensure that their submissions are respectful, honest, and true.

Spuggz always strives for fairness and accuracy, and we encourage Members to advise us of any significant errors or areas of concern.  Should a Member appear to be a danger to themselves or others, please call 911, or notify us immediately. Members can notify us at support@spuggz.com.

Spuggz wants its Forums to be a place for respectful, helpful, and supportive discussions and interactions that are intended to support all types of recovery. While Spuggz has a firm commitment to freedom of speech, we also want our Members to behave in a courteous, respectful, and truthful manner.

Following these guidelines will help Members adhere to our Forum Standards and Code of Conduct.

• Don’t attack people online, and don’t respond to attacks.
• Report attacks at support@spuggz.com
• Keep posts, comments, interactions, and uploads, on topic and constructive.
• Respect others and their opinions, personal views, personal histories, and situations. Treat people with the same respect Member would like to receive for opinions, personal views, personal history, and situation. Members may come across opinions and personal views they disagree with. That doesn’t make them invalid. Ask the author why they feel or believe the way they do.
• Be considerate. We’re here to talk about ideas, experiences, and potential solutions, not the people behind them.
• Admit when you’re wrong.
• Explain why Member disagrees or agrees with something. Members’ reasoning is as important as their opinion.
• “This article sucks” will be deleted. “I disagree with this article. Here’s why…” won’t be.
• ” So and So” is an idiot” will be deleted. “Has Member considered…?” won’t be.
• Back up ideas, suggestions and observations with evidence and facts where possible. If you’re claiming something as scientific or proven fact, try to provide credible references.
• If Member disagrees or needs clarification on a post, respectfully ask the author for more information.
• Aim to add a new idea to each approach rather than simply repeating what’s already been said.
• Spuggz/POND/SUFR Forum moderators will distinguish between constructive comments and smear campaigns. We will remove any deliberate attempts to misinform, distort facts or misrepresent the opinions of others. We will delete personal attacks directed at anyone; all forms of discrimination (or posts that could be interpreted as such); posts we believe exist only to provoke or mislead; posts identifying or sharing the personal information of another person without their consent; and comments that are commercial or repeatedly shared external links.
• Under no circumstances should personal information be shared regarding a minor (a child under the age of 18), including, but not limited to, name, age, address, name of parents or siblings, birthdate, school, situation, photos, images, videos, etc.
• Don’t post anything that may put Spuggz/POND/SUFR in legal jeopardy – nothing defamatory, libelous and nothing in breach of copyright protections.
• Be proactive. Take responsibility for the quality of the conversations you participate in; only reply to things you consider worth your attention.
• Report posts you think violated this Forum Code of Conduct and notify Spuggz at support@spuggz.com.
• Let other Members know when you like and appreciate a post or submission.
• We reserve the right to remove comments and User Content that breach these standards and lock accounts of commenters who breach them repeatedly.
• Replies to comments that have been deleted may themselves be deleted, either to remove the thread or because they don’t make sense out of context.
• Members who report false alerts will have their membership suspended or permanently deleted.

Moderators & Reporting Abuse

All Forum interaction is subject to moderation to help ensure the integrity of the Forum standards is upheld. Although our moderators and Forum representatives will try to keep an eye on all Forum activity, we also rely on our Members to report abusive, offensive, or otherwise inappropriate User Content (comments, posts, images, videos, materials) or any User Content, by alerting us of problems and areas of concern to the Forum.  This allows us to make the Forum better for everyone.  Member can notify us via email at: support@spuggz.com.

Members who seriously, persistently, or willfully ignore our Forum Terms & Conditions and/or Code of Conduct, will lose their posting privileges and their membership will be cancelled. This is not an action that we take lightly or arbitrarily. However, it is our intent to provide an online experience consistent with the high value we place on civilized interaction and communication, and we reserve the right to make decisions we feel support that.

Our moderators are directed to enforce our Forum Terms & Conditions and Code of Conduct, and to create a constructive environment for everyone who contributes to our Forum.  Therefore, any advice or request from our moderators regarding Forum interaction should be respected and followed. 

In the interest of keeping our recovery Forum appropriate and supportive for the majority of our Members, we will, when necessary, remove User Content.  If a post or submission is perceived as breaching the Forum Standards and Code of Conduct as set out above, or our Terms and Conditions, that post, or submission will be removed by the moderators.    

We will not edit Member posts to change the meaning, spelling, or anything else intended by the Member. Even if only part of a comment or posting is perceived as breaching community guidelines, the entire content may be removed.

When User Content is removed for any of the reasons above, it is sometimes necessary to delete subsequent messages that refer to explicitly or quote from the original (removed) comment to preserve the conversational thread. This may also happen because a later comment is directly related to the problematic sections of the original comment, which would perpetuate the problem. In such cases, not every deletion will be marked individually.

We reserve the right to take steps or implement measures that we hope will benefit the whole community of Members.

Liability for Member Content & Member Communications

Children's Online Privacy Protection Act - Federal Trade Commission  http://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml

This Act protects children's privacy by giving parents tools to control what information is collected from their children online. The Act requires the Commission to promulgate regulations requiring operators of commercial websites and online services directed to children under 13 or knowingly collecting personal information from children under 13 to: (a) notify parents of their information practices; (b) obtain verifiable parental consent for the collection, use, or disclosure of children’s personal information; (c) let parents prevent further maintenance or use or future collection of their child’s personal information; (d) provide parents access to their child’s personal information; (e) not require a child to provide more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in an activity; and (f) maintain reasonable procedures to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of the personal information. In order to encourage active industry self-regulation, the Act also includes a "safe harbor" provision allowing industry groups and others to request Commission approval of self-regulatory guidelines to govern participating websites’ compliance with the Rule.
