Site Rules
Be Respectful
The Trail of Tears story in Missouri deals with some very horrific historical events. Many Cherokee and others lost ancestors during the events. Their loss should be treated with the utmost of respect.
Be Civil
We have a very strict civility policy here and we reserve the right to delete posts, comments, and ban any user for any reason we feel necessary.
Be A Real Person
This community is small enough for us to identify people and hold them responsible for their behavior. We reserved the right to verify your identity and anyone using a fictitious name will be permanently banned.
We May Edit Your Comments
All comments are reviewed and may be moderated. We don’t edit comments to remove objectionable content, we just delete objectionable comments and ban the commenter. Some commenters may be give an warning and an opportunity to rephrase the comment. So please ensure that your comments are within bounds.
No Spam
Give more than you take in this group. Self-promotion, spam, and irrelevant links aren’t allowed.
No Hate Speech
Make sure everyone feels safe. Bullying of any kind isn’t allowed, and degrading comments about things like race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender or identity will not be tolerated.
Respect Other’s Privacy
Being part of this group requires mutual trust. Authentic, expressive discussions make groups great, but may also be sensitive and private. What’s shared in the group should stay in the group.
