Community Leaders are parent volunteers who have children with food allergies. Community Leaders guide members in use of technical features, in following forum guidelines, in joining and leaving our community, and other administrative duties. Community Leaders assist Community Hosts.
Community Hosts are parent volunteers who welcome members to the forums and assist members with use of basic features of our message boards and website.
Chat Hosts are parent volunteers who welcome members into our Family Member Hosted Chat Room, guide chat discussions, set topics for chats and assist members with use of basic features of our message boards and website.
Our entire Volunteer Team of Community Leaders and Hosts are parents sharing their knowledge and experiences in raising their own food-allergic children. They are not bringing any specific knowledge/expertise to their positions other than what they've learned over the years of dealing with food allergies themselves.
The
Community Manager manages the forum overall and coordinates the efforts of the community Leaders and Hosts.
Acceptable Behavior for Message Boards, Private Messaging, Chats, SendCards and Other Interactive Features on Our Website
Kids With Food Allergies, Inc. expects our members and site visitors to abide by common standards of decency and courtesy. Kids With Food Allergies, Inc. reserves the right to remove any posted item it deems objectionable, offensive or inappropriate or not in the best interests of the organization. Members or visitors who abuse any interactive features, including the message boards, private messaging or chat areas will be banned from future participation on the site.
The role of the Community Leaders and Hosts is not to make sure that each post from a member is accurate. Community Leaders, Hosts and any other member of the staff of KFA are not responsible for the content or accuracy, or appropriateness of anyone posting on the forums except for themselves. Each member is responsible for anything that member posts on the forums. Having said that, Community Leaders and Hosts will make every attempt to respond to posts they see that may need to be clarified or corrected, but there is no guarantee that 100% of what is posted here will be reviewed for accuracy.
In accordance with our
Terms of Service (TOS), our Community Leaders may delete messages posted in violation of our TOS. Our Community Leaders may edit a post to remove copyrighted content or to remove personal information like an address or phone number. If there is a need to edit a post, the reason for the editing will be noted at the bottom of the message along with the name and date of who edited the post. Generally speaking, editing and deleting of posts are a rare event. The poster is notified when a message is deleted and the reason.
Our TOS establish some policies on expected behavior for our members, but the Community Leaders and Hosts are not responsible for the actions or conduct of others on the list if a member fails to comply. The only thing our leaders and hosts can do is to request that a member comply with the TOS and delete a message if it violates the TOS. In the event of an egregious violation the forum administrator may choose to take additional action up to and including banning that person if we feel the situation warrants that action.
Notice: "Harvesting" email addresses from our Web sites or Web services and any transfer of email addresses for the purpose of sending email is prohibited.
Complaints or suspected violations regarding message board or chat postings may be reported by using the "Alert an Administrator" feature of the message boards and chat rooms.
