dLife Forum Guidelines
No commercial posts. Commercial posts are defined as someone pitching a product or service that financially benefits the poster. Users may freely share their experiences with legitimate products or services that they have no commercial interest in. Commercial posts will be deleted when found, and repeat offenders banned at the discretion of the moderator. dLife is the final arbitrator of what is considered a commercial posting.Users and moderators may reference a book or product that they are affiliated with as a part of their signature file, and in some instances, as part of their post when it is the best or only available resource to address the topic under discussion. Again, moderators will use their discretion with the best interest of the dLife community and forum members in mind.

Avoid giving medical advice. Sharing personal information and experiences is welcome, but users should avoid giving actual medical advice and instead encourage others to consult with a health care professional.
Mind your manners. Users who are rude to other dLife members will be issued an initial warning about their behavior. Their post (or the offending portion of their post) will also be deleted. Access to the dLife Forum is a privilege, not a right. Moderators will ban users who continue to treat others with disrespect.
Quackery will be removed. Posts on the evils of aspartame, anti-perspirant causing breast cancer, the miracles of Noni juice, and any other therapy or theory that has no basis in research or medical fact are discouraged. Innocent posts on these topics will be refuted as necessary by the moderator; others will be deleted. Moderators will ban persistent offenders at their discretion.
