Welcome to the Frenchiefomo forum! To keep this a fun, supportive, and safe place for all Frenchie lovers, please follow these rules and guidelines. By participating, you agree to abide by these rules.
1. Be respectful and civil
Be kind: Treat all members with respect, even if you disagree. Personal insults, harassment, and belittling remarks are not tolerated.
No personal attacks: Criticize ideas, not people. We are all here to learn and share.
No discrimination: Discriminatory or hateful comments based on race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or age are strictly prohibited.
2. Prioritize health and ethical care
Consult a veterinarian: The forum is a place for peer support and shared experience, not a substitute for professional veterinary advice. Never provide or follow medical advice from an unverified source.
Responsible breeding: Promote ethical and responsible breeding practices. Posts that advertise or promote "backyard breeding," puppy mills, or breeders of "rare" colors without proper health testing will be removed.
No unauthorized vet advice: If you have a serious medical concern, a sudden change in your dog's behavior, or an emergency, always contact a veterinarian. Please use professional resources over forum advice for critical health issues.
Protect Frenchies from heat: Remember that French bulldogs are highly sensitive to heat due to their brachycephalic (short-snouted) features. We encourage sharing advice on keeping them cool, not promoting strenuous exercise in high temperatures.
3. Content and posting guidelines
Stay on topic: Keep discussions relevant to French bulldogs. If a conversation topic changes significantly, please start a new thread.
Clear and concise titles: Use descriptive titles for your topics to help other members understand the content of your post.
No illegal activity: Discussions or links related to any illegal activities are forbidden.
Give credit: If you post content, photos, or articles that are not your own, please credit the original source.
No spam or promotion: Do not post irrelevant links, advertise products or services, or engage in aggressive self-promotion. We do not permit the sale of puppies or dogs directly on the forum.
Respect privacy: Do not post private information about yourself or others, such as addresses, phone numbers, or private emails.
No "necroposting": Avoid reviving old or inactive threads unless you have a substantial and relevant contribution to add.
4. Forum etiquette
Think before you post: Take a moment to consider if your post is necessary and adds to the conversation.
No excessive capitalization: Writing in all capital letters is often interpreted as shouting and is discouraged.
No double-posting: Do not post the same message multiple times within one thread or across several different forum sections.
Report, don't retaliate: If you see a post that violates the rules, report it to a moderator instead of engaging in a public argument.
5. Moderation and enforcement
Moderator's discretion: Our team of administrators and moderators will enforce these rules at their discretion. They may edit or remove posts without warning if they do not comply.
Consequences: Failure to comply with these rules may result in a warning, temporary suspension, or permanent ban from the forum.
Contact us: If you have questions about a moderation decision, please contact the moderation team privately rather than arguing on the forum.
