Circumscribing topics within these bounds will help maintain peace and harmony, and foster a spirit of Brotherhood which invites participation, without injury to anyone's private practices.

Please direct any questions regarding this policy to webmaster@kennesaw33.org

Thank you,
The Moderators

 

Q:What is the purpose of a forum?

A: Forums allow people to voice concerns, promote ideas and communicate to a larger group of people outside of their own circle of knowledge. It also allows users to gather information and learn on any subject that is permitted to be discussed openly under the rules of the forum.

 

Q:Is the forum secure?

A:During the Beta v1 the forum is open to anyone who wishes to join for the purpose of research and usage for the forum. Once the Beta period expires the Forum will be completely secure. However, a Masonic Forum is not place to discuss esoteric knowledge or anything for that matter that should not be communicated outside of the Lodge Room when at labor.

 

Q:Is my information safe from not being sold or offered to others for mass mailing lists?

A:Yes, this forum is owned by Kennesaw No. 33 F & A.M. and all information is maintained for the upmost privacy. The amount of information you choose to offer others is also your choice. You may list everthing about yourself or nothing.

 

Q:How do I use the forum?

A:You will find topics that allow you comment on or Blog on. Comments are left under the topic for other to open and read if they choose. Blogs are posted directly to the forum under the topic chosen. During Beta v1 there is not really a set method defined so feel free to choose, this will allow us to determine the most effective manner to set up for Final v1.

 

Q:Is the forum for Kennesaw No. 33 only?

A:No, it is for anyone that wishes to join in on discussions or offer information that betters us all. If properly used it can bridge normal communication gaps and bring us into a close relationship with each other and the community we serve.

 

Q:Can the forum replace lodge attendance or could it cause for a decrease in attendance?

A:The forum is not intended to replace or reduce lodge attendance at all. It is designed to be a sounding board for those who might otherwise never be heard as some of us are not great orators. The forum allows anyone a voice in a new way but it can never repalce face to face human interaction.

 

Q:What happens if someone posts something profane or wrongfully on the forum?

A:The forum is Moderated by the webmaster currently and will be enlisting other Moderators as required and based on traffic. When someone breaks the rules that post is deleted and the person posting is warned. If the offense or any other offense is caused by the same forum member they will be ejected from the forum and not be allowed to return. If the forum is misused it will be turned off until a period is determined to turn it back on if at all.

 

 

Technology such as the forum is simply a new tool for us to use to great results. The number of Masonic Forums has grown greatly over the past year and looks to continue. There are good forums that are real to us and some that are not real and very misleading. This forum allows our members and others who want to get to know a forum confidence in how forums work and what to look for when entering other forums.

 

Fear of a thing is ignorance of a thing and we are not ignorant as Master Masons. For the non-masons this offers an opportunity to communicate directly with anyone who chooses to respond and usually results in a good number of responses to others offering a wide range of like minded direction and knowledge.
