ADD/ADHD Online Information
adders.org Forum Boards
Please Note: This is a family site and therefore please keep this in mind when using any of the Forum Boards.
Due to Spamming of the boards we have had to take the steps to protect members from spammers and trolls. All new members will need to register, then wait for a test email to confirm their email address is valid. You then will need to reply to this test email before being able to post on the boards. If you do not receive a test email within 48 - 72 hours of registration please drop an email with your log in ID / member name to forums@adders.org or to any of the admin team. We are sorry for having to take this step however we need to protect both the site of adders.org and it's owner and all members
If you log into your account and find a page saying "permission denied" please contact one of the admin team as it could be that you are already registered and are using the wrong login details which we will then be able to find providing you are still using the same email address.
It is also suggested that all email addresses are not included in profiles as this does leave them open for trolls and others who want to visit websites to gather email addresses for spam purposes.
"This forum is an interactive medium that lives from the posts of its users and is for the discussion of ADD/ADHD and related conditions” Therefore as you are registering and agreeing, to all of this user agreement in order to join this forum. You are expected to participate in the boards that are applicable to you. Any member who doesn't post in their first months membership, will be deleted. Also any member not seen to be contributing actively to the Forums for a period of 6 months will be deleted. By registering to this forum you indemnify the owner of the forum from any resulting damage. Please remember that this site is run by a private owner and a team of volunteers both with ADHD and with family members with ADHD and Co-Morbids. It is not always possible for us to respond to all communication immediately, as it has to be done manually, so please allow at least 48 - 72 hours for any response.
- When contacting Admin, all Members must include their Username in their enquiry and it must be sent from the email address which the Member used to register with.
- Once a new member has registered they will receive a test email and will need to reply to this to confirm that their email address is valid before their account is activated. You must have a valid email address to use this forum.
- Please note that each User Name account is specifically intended for that one User alone. If there is more than one person wishing to post from the same email adderess, they will need to create individual and seperate User Name accounts.
- We ask that everyone who posts makes the effort to respect all other views and does not to attempt to force any personal views onto others. We expect those who post to accept others’ comments in the way they are meant as in support and friendship.
- All opinions expressed in posts are the views of the individual poster. Comments within posts must not be copied or used unless the author has been contacted for their permission to reproduce their comments.
- Spamming will not be tolerated at any time - anyone who spams the boards will have their posting rights removed.
- Any Member who feels that a posted message is objectionable must contact one of the Administrators or the Owner of adders.org immediately using email or the private messenger facility. Admin have the ability to remove objectionable messages and they will make every effort to do so, within a reasonable time frame, if they determine that removal is necessary. This is a manual process, so the may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately.
- All complaints must be sent via email or private messenger to the owner or a member of the admin team. Any member posting complaints on the Forums instead of following the Complaints Procedure will be deemed to have breached the Terms of the User Agreement and will risk having their account closed.
- Any form of advertising, either commercial or private, or any commercial messages are not permitted on this Forum as it is intended as peer support. If you are not sure please check with one of the Administrators.
- Anyone wishing to post Links to other sites must contact the administrators for authorisation prior to posting the Link.
- Avatars are permitted on the forum - HOWEVER - only those on the list supplied are allowed - Avatars from external sites will be removed.
- Any Member expressing a wish to leave the Site either privately or publicly on the forum will have their account closed as per their request. This is not to say that they are unable to re-register at a later date if they so wish and at the discretion of the owner of the site and the admin team.
- Admin reserve the right to delete any post which is considered inappropriate, offensive or insensitive without any warning to the author.
- The Owner of adders.org reserves the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread or delete any Members' account for any reasons she feels are valid.
Due to the nature of the Internet we are afraid that we do not allow minors to post.
The ADDult Forum by its very nature is for Adults - under UK law an Adult is a person over the age of 18 years and therefore anyone under that age is not permitted to post.
By clicking Register below you agree to be bound by these conditions and agree to these Terms.
By registering for this forum you are deemed to have agreed and understood the above and you indemnify adders.org from any resulting damage.
adders.org wishes to make clear that any views posted here are the views of the individual member concerned, and not the site owner, runner and volunteer administrator's.
This agreement may change from time to time so it is up to each individual member to ensure that they keep aware of any changes that could be made by checking this agreement from time to time to make sure that they stay within the rules of the user agreement.
Reviewed March 2008 - these New Terms with additons started from that date March 2008 and cannot be used in retrospect ."
Grievance/Complaints Procedure
The policy on adders.org is that if you have a problem or a complaint please direct it to the Admin Team by sending an email to members of the forums@adders.org or to any of the admin team or by using the Email all Admin Email Link at the top of the forum boards. If you are complaining about posts made on the boards then please be specific about which post(s) you are complaining about and what specifically you found objectionable about the post(s)
If you are unhappy with the way your complaint has been dealt with please direct it to the owner of the Site Direct.
If grievances are posted on the Boards they may not get immediate attention as all members of the Admin Team give their time voluntarily and may not always see posts until a later time. Please note that if grievances are posted on the boards, they may be removed without notice to the author, as it doesn't help the supportive ethos of the boards.
Members of the Admin Team will try to deal with this as quickly as possible and therefore if you send the email to All Admin there is more chance of one of the team being around sooner than maybe some of the others! Depending on personal commitments, time of day things like that.
Not all Admin will be available at all times but we try to make it that someone will be around most of the time but this cannot be guaranteed as I have said all are volunteers and have busy lives as well. This is why we are so grateful to them all for giving their free time freely to help administer these boards.
Please remember this is a family forum, so anything posted that we feel is inappropriate or that could cause offence in anyway to another member, will be locked and or removed.
