Please keep in mind the following rules when participating in the beautyheaven community:
Be respectful. beautyheaven’s member community is a safe space for any and all beauty lovers. The beautyheaven community welcomes participants with a wide range of beliefs and ideas about the subjects they’re discussing and the world, more broadly. We encourage an open dialogue; you do not need to understand or agree with others, but we do require that participants remain courteous and respectful at all times. Please avoid any language that may be considered rude, abusive, or intimidating. This includes having a tone that is consistently critical, derogatory, or otherwise negative toward others. If we see any of the above, we will exercise our right to edit, remove, or block new replies to any post that violates these guidelines. We will also limit or suspend the access of any participant who violates these guidelines. Discriminatory treatment of any user on the basis of age, level/type of education, race, ethnicity, national origin, social class, religious affiliation, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, physical appearance, serious disease, disability, or any other form of discrimination may result in a permanent ban from the community.
Have good etiquette. When posting in the beautyheaven community forums, reviews, posts or articles, please remember that the people who read your posts sometimes can’t tell what you meant to say or how you intended to say it. Avoid “screaming” your thoughts in ALL CAPITAL letters. And remember that people who do not know you or fully understand your intentions will read your comments. If you think your comments could be misinterpreted, they probably will be. If you think someone has misunderstood you, or has challenged your position, address it calmly in a non-threatening manner. The beautyheaven team members (with a staff badge) will be able to help, but it’s always best for the participants to work it out. Keep the peace!
Take a breath. While we do not set formal limits on how much you can post, excessive posting—whether in terms of number of posts or their length can majorly interfere with the beautyheaven community home. There’s room here for many points of view, so don’t feel like you need to have the last word. Please only post in one forum when creating a new post. If you publish the same post in multiple forums your duplicate posts will be removed. Additionally, beautyheaven reserves the right to move posts if they are better suited within another forum.
We love when you show your support for other members’ posts, but please refrain from abusing the system. Excessive posting may result in deletion of your posts, removal of your points, and a permanent ban from the beautyheaven community.
No “trolling.” beautyheaven does not permit trolling, which may include hijacking or taking a thread drastically off-topic, hate speech, rudeness, shaming, personal attacks, bullying, threats or inflammatory posts, impersonating others or creating multiple accounts in order to do any of the actions listed here. If you are trolling, we will take your posts down and your account will be permanently banned. If banned for trolling, you will not be permitted to participate again. beautyheaven reserves the right to contact law enforcement if we suspect your behaviour to be unlawful or dangerous toward others.
