Procedure For Handling Message Board Disputes

Recovery Elements is a forum for the free exchange of information to help individuals make the most informed decisions regarding personal enhancement. From time to time, it is inevitable that members will disagree with each other. Even if you disagree, you cannot harass, insult or offend the member with whom you disagree. When a dispute arises, the discussion must remain strictly on the subject of the message boards. If you find that the discussion is becoming personal, you must stop immediately from using the Message Boards to exchange your opinions as your dispute is a severe distraction to other members who are using the Message Boards for education and who have no benefit from reading about your personal dispute. Recovery Elements will not tolerate any personal disputes and all participants in such disputes shall be treated equally if they do not abide by the rules of conduct on the Message Boards. If you have a problem with any individual(s), the best action to take is to ignore the person(s) and to no longer respond or engage in any discussion with the individual(s). If a member continues to engage in the personal dispute, Recovery Elements will ban this member. If we find that a member is not stopping a personal dispute after we make friendly attempts to ask the member to stop taking part in the personal dispute, Recovery Elements will post a cease and desist notice on the Message Board to the offending member which will require the member to stop from visiting the Site. If the member does not comply within 1 business day, Recovery Elements will use the full extent of the law to prosecute this person for this unlawful activity, including, without limitation, suing them for damages suffered by Recovery Elements and any members who feel they have been distraught or harassed by these messages. In today's age, every message can be tracked back to the user via technology. Recovery Elements sincerely hopes that disputes will be kept to a minimum and will be swiftly stopped when they become personal. To help maintain the quality of the Message Boards and keep the peace, Recovery Elements asks that you do not partake in any disputes and that you ignore any people whose agenda is to simply cause trouble.
