*APPROPRIATE CONDUCT and ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR*

There has been some questionable behavior in the Youth Room lately, so we feel the need to lay down some basic ground rules on how members should conduct themselves......so they may be held accountable.

(1) This is a Youth Room.....and while many of you may be teenagers, there are also many pre-teens that visit as well. Let's keep that in mind, keeping our topics and replies clean in content and language.

(2) While some adults may visit this room from time to time, there should be absolutely ZERO inappropriate comments or interactions between adults and the youth. This includes flirting, questionable comments, or any other behavior that is not acceptable. You know what is right and what is wrong........the adults of this forum need to be stewards for the youth, and lead by example.

(3) The Moderators of the Realtree forums are here to help, but we can not be online 24/7......so you will be expected to police your own actions and comments. Also, if something is posted that is offensive to you, or may be to another member we hope that you would quickly contact several Moderators in hopes of reaching one, so that action may be taken. That action may be a simply editing or deletion of a post, including a warning....or if more serious, it could warrant a banning from these forums.

Thank you for your continued efforts in making Realtree.com and it's Youth Room the best on the net.

Well said, but umm not to step on any toes....But their has been way more non-acceptable behavior in the lounge.....And by that i mean putting people down, and arguing, and not backing down, i feel that moderators need to put something in there, because its more the "adults" than the "youths" i feel that we are unfairly targeted by behavioral status...When some adults act more immaturely than the youths, i know, as much as most other people in the youth room that there are pre-teens in here and we respect that, and by respect i mean think before we type......Just my imput....

#1, this post is aimed at all the members youth and adult visiting this room. It isn't just for the youth of this forum.

[TheNumber1Young1]

Yeah, i totally agree, but seriously there arent that many adults that come into the youth room..There all in the Lounge.

Count me in as an adult who enjoys visiting the youth room. I have children [fully grown] and grandchildren. I like knowing there are so many youths out there interested in hunting and discussung it. I visit here to get ideas how I can help keep my own interested.
You young people should be proud, The time you spend on a forum sharing opinions is only going to enrich your lives. Pros-cons etc.,it's all a learning process. Keep it productive and reap its benefits.
Best of luck to all of you!

I am an adult I have three children that like to go hunt with me. I am new with this chat room and logged in to see if I would let them sign in and talk to other young one about hunting. I read the messages from realtree and others. Thanks for stepping up for what is right. Real outdoorsmen are upstanding people and do and say the rigt thing.

man I hope no one here flirts with kids but I know there are sick-o's out there.

May I make a suggestion: If anyone is caught doing this not only should the be instantly be band, but it would be good for the information to be handed over to that person's local authorities (where applicable).

Good Job Realtree on keeping it safe for the kids

Inappropriate conduct and behavior is unacceptable. A good way to get rid of that would be one warning and then account deletion. Depending on the severity of the crime that is.
