Rules for Use - GWA Exchange Forum
The GWA Exchange Forum is operated by the Gwinnett Woodworkers Association as a service for our members. Most forum categories will be available to the public. This means that any web site visitor will be able to read the forum posts. However, only GWA members in good standing will be able to post messages in most forum categories. To be recognized as a GWA member you will need to register and/or sign in to the GWA web site . NOTE: Only currently paid up GWA members are allowed to register on the GWA web site.
The rules for operating the forum are ultimately set up and managed by the GWA Board of Directors.
Unless noted all forum posts will be moderated. This means that objectionable posts will be removed completely from the system. Forum posters should refrain from posting objectionable language, pictures, and files. As the need arises these rules will be amended with necessary examples of what is considered objectionable.
If you have any question about these rules or use of the GWA Exchange Forum please contact a current member of the GWA Board of Directors.
When you register on the GWA web site you will be creating your own member profile. Very little information is required in the profile. Most is optional. Only put information in your profile that you are willing to share with other GWA members or special guests. Your profile information will not be available to the general public or general web site visitor.
The purpose of the profile is for GWA members to help each other and find resources within the club.
If you need help with your profile or have questions please contact the webmaster .
Thanks,
