II. STANDARD USAGE POLICY

Overview

BeechTalk, LLC strives to provide a constructive environment for discussion of the ownership, operation, and enjoyment of aircraft, airports, and aviation-related items. Above all, we are committed to the safe operation of the same. We present information via our website and other media to promote discussion among, and for the entertainment of, our members. Naturally, we want members to find the BeechTalk, LLC forums and other media useful and enjoyable.

This policy describes a standard of behavior intended to improve the online experience for all BeechTalk, LLC members. By and large, they are based on commonsense notions of good manners and mutual respect. Naturally, we recognize that online interaction brings up unique problems, that are not typical in face to face interactions. When conflicts arise, we rely foremost on our members' goodwill and good sense to maintain decorum. The guidelines form a basis for adjudicating the more resistant issues. Keep in mind though, as with all participatory media, the ultimate nature of the online experience depends on you: BeechTalk.com members and contributors.

Civility

1. BeechTalk, LLC participatory media (forums, etc.) are designed for the exchange of, and the debating of ideas. Personal attacks ("flaming") are not tolerated. Personal attacks are defined as any attempt to short-circuit the debate by diverting attention to the shortcomings or attributes of the other parties in the debate rather than their arguments. We encourage you to challenge other points of view but please do so in a respectful and thoughtful manner. Think before clicking on the "Submit" button: is this something you'd say in person to a colleague?

2. BeechTalk.com materials are often read by families of members and mixed company of all ages. Explicit, obscene, profane, or vulgar language is not appropriate and BeechTalk, LLC may remove any material containing such language.

3. BeechTalk.com members must avoid posting any of the following content:
a. Salacious material - that is, material and/or pictures that are not appropriate in mixed company;
b. Religious discussion - that which goes beyond a mere indication of faith (i.e. We'll pray for you.);
c. Political discussion - that which is directed toward a particular political party, political individual, likely to lead to divisive political debate and/or controversy, etc. (however, as always, we WILL permit political discussion that is directly on point with aviation issues);
d. Personal attacks; and/or
e. Generally posting in a manner contrary to civility.

4. As a matter of policy, BeechTalk, LLC does not preview or approve member content. However, your participation grants BeechTalk, LLC the right to modify, or delete, material to conform to these guidelines. For instance, a misplaced post will be relocated to the appropriate forum without notice.

Forum Posting Best Practices

17. BeechTalk.com provides a "Flagging" feature that permits members to "Like", "Dislike", or "Report Abuse" a particular post.
