The Community is the backbone for an enjoyable experience with BigMop Homes, therefore we have a few guidelines that we must all follow.

Membership is available to anyone involved or interested in the janitorial, facilities management or related industries. BigMop Homes does not discriminate on any basis including (but not limited to) age, gender, race, or ethnicity. Considering the real-time nature of this bulletin board, BigMop Homes does not and cannot monitor each and every message posted in the forum. BigMop Homes is not responsible for any messages posted, and does not vouch for or warrant the accuracy, validity, completeness, or usefulness of any message. The messages express the views of their authors, not necessarily the views of BigMop Homes.

By posting in the forum, you agree to the following:
Membership is intended for one person or business and is non-transferable. You agree to abide by the Community Guidelines outlined below. Many areas of BigMop Homes are "public," such as our forum. By submitting content in these public areas, you grant to BigMop Homes the complete right to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, etc. the content in any part, anywhere. Although BigMop Homes is not responsible for the content of any of these messages, we at BigMop Homes reserve the right to delete any message for any or no reason whatsoever. You remain solely responsible for the content of your messages, and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless BigMop Homes and their agents with respect to any claim based upon transmission of your message(s). We at BigMop Homes also reserve the right to reveal your identity (or whatever information we know about you) in the event of a complaint or legal action arising from any message posted by you.

BigMop Homes may terminate your membership and any and all information, communications, postings, or web pages at any time, without notice, for conduct that violates this agreement or other policies or guidelines set forth by BigMop Homes elsewhere on the site. BigMop Homes may terminate your membership and delete any and all information, communications, postings, or web pages for online conduct that BigMop Homes believes is harmful to other members, the business of BigMop Homes, or other third-party information providers.

BigMop Homes reserves the right to end a discussion or lock a thread if we feel that the discussion has become unproductive or combative, or if the topic is unnecessarily dominating the forum. BigMop Homes reserves the right to lock a thread if there have been no messages in it for 30 days.

BigMop Homes believes our community is a great feature for all involved, therefore their are guidelines that must be followed by all parties. The number one guideline to be followed at all times is "treat others as you would like to be treated yourself." Abuse of other members will absolutely not be tolerated. Also, remember that community standards are always evolving. It's important that you periodically check this document for alterations and updates.

Online conduct should be guided by common sense and basic etiquette. You will be considered in violation of our Community Guidelines if you do any of the following:

• Use strong vulgar language, crude or explicit sexual references, demeaning racial or ethnic remarks, and/or hate speech.
• Post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, or invasive of a person’s privacy.
• Harass, threaten, or intimidate another member. During debate or disagreement, always address the issue at hand, not the individual.
• Post, transmit, or distribute illegal content.
• Post, transmit, or distribute copyrighted or trademarked content without authorization.
• Impersonate another member or individual. Impersonating a member, celebrity, BigMop Homes employee, or administrator/moderator will result in immediate expulsion from the community.
• Attempt to access other members' passwords, account information, or private information. Remember: BigMop Homes employees will NEVER ask for your password. Don't EVER give your password out to anyone.
• Collect member information using BigMop Homes's forum or other related areas. The use of such information for the purpose of sending unsolicited bulk e-mail is strictly prohibited.
• Engage in unsolicited email spamming of BigMop Homes members or the forum.
• Promote chain letters and pyramid schemes, illegal or not, in the BigMop Homes forum or via private email to our members.
• Advertise products or services in BigMop Homes forum or to our members. This includes (but is not limited to) janitorial related and business service sites.

Moderation messages will be public. This is not done to embarrass or upset the poster but, rather, to serve as a learning experience for all users. Similarly, messages will not be deleted unless they are obscene, invasive of a person’s privacy, or otherwise in gross violation of our guidelines. The poster will be warned in the same thread, with the relevant portion of the message quoted as necessary. The poster, of course, always retains the option of editing their initial message.

Moderations will follow a three step process:
Informal Warning: This may or may not contain those words but is a message from the Moderator indicating that you have crossed the line. Please pay attention to such messages and follow the Moderator's instructions.
Formal Warning: If a user has received an informal warning and, in the next 30 days violates this or another guideline, s/he will receive a formal warning. Formal warnings may also be issued immediately for gross violations of the rules, directly insulting another user, or arguing a moderation call in the thread.
Suspension: A user who has been issued a formal warning and again violates Community Guidelines will receive a 30 day suspension. Suspensions are automatic, but may be appealed via email. We reserve the right to issue a suspension for blatant attempts to disrupt the forum, use of multiple Ids in the forum, or if in the opinion of the Moderator, such an action is required to ensure the safety, comfort and/or enjoyment of the forum by other users. Continued violation of BigMop Homes Community Guidelines after suspension may result in permanent expulsion.
