    Mom Talk Help

    What are your community posting guidelines?
    We want SacMomsClub.com to be a safe place where users can meet, share ideas, swap experiences and above all, be part of a vibrant online community of Sacramento moms. Think of us as a 24-hour coffeehouse for conversation. Pull up a chair and stay awhile.

    To foster a welcoming environment, we ask our users to follow these simple guidelines when participating in our Talk forums and posting blogs:

    1. Please keep our community clean. Obscenities, foul language, sexually explicit content, racist and discriminatory speech do not belong on our site.

    2. Personal attacks will not be tolerated. This includes threats, hate speech, abuse and harassment of any user.

    3. No spamming. Please keep junk mail, advertising, spam, pyramid scams and chain letters out of our forums.

    4. No unauthorized solicitation. If someone posts about looking for childcare and you are a childcare provider, you may reply with information about your service. What isn't appropriate is starting a post about your service in our general forums. If you have a business or service you’d like to promote, you can post information in our Marketplace forums. The Marketplace section is the only appropriate place for such postings.

    5. Don't cross-post. Please do not post the same message more than once - either in the same forum or different forums. Take a look at all of the forum topics to find the one that best suits the nature of your posting.

    Helpful hints when using our Talk forums
    1. Use informative titles for your posts. Be as specific as possible when titling your post. For example, don't title your post "Help!" Let people know what you need help with.

    2. Report problem posts. If you spot any posts that violate our SacMomsClub.com posting guidelines or Terms of Service, please report it by clicking on the report button, which is at the bottom of every post.

    3. Contribute to the conversation. Share your experiences and offer advice to help other users. Make friends here and keep the conversation going. It's up to you to make our Talk forums great!

    4. Follow the conversation. If you want to receive an e-mail every time someone responds to your posting or a discussion forum topic that you are interested in, click on "Subscribe to this topic." It's located just above the Quick post box, where you would reply to a posting.

    Why can't I post a new discussion forum topic or reply to any other postings?
    You must be logged into your SacMomsClub.com account in order to be able to post anything (new or reply) to the discussion forums. You do not, however, have to be logged in to view existing postings.
