EMTLife.com Community Guidelines
The basic ground rules for discussions on our forum are simple: be polite, use common sense, don't break the law and don't post any message that even hints at advertising. We don't intend to censor messages based on the opinions expressed within posts, but we will enforce the policies outlined both here, on the Guidelines page and on the Forum. We reserve the right to remove, modify or move posts at our discretion and without explanation.
We don't intend to censor messages based on the opinions expressed within posts, but we will enforce the policies outlined here. We reserve the right to remove, modify or move posts at our discretion and without explanation. If a thread or post of yours gets deleted by one of our Community Leaders, it means it was deleted for a violation of the policies of the forum - do not repost it.
In light of our policy of encouraging candid, open exchanges of views and the rapid distribution of information originating from many sources, EMTLife.com can not determine the accuracy of information that may be uploaded to the Forum.
Opinions, advice and all other information expressed by participants in discussions are those of the author. You rely on such information at your own risk. Participants are urged to seek professional advice for specific, individual situations and not rely solely on advice or opinions given in the discussions.
We take the "be polite" rule VERY seriously! We do not tolerate ANY rudeness, profane or offensive language whatsoever. Any member who is intentionally unpleasant or disruptive may be suspended or banned.
Remember that this forum is only as good as you make it. The forum members get all the credit for making this a worthwhile place to visit.
It is the member’s responsibility to check the Forum Guidelines often. These guidelines may be changed at any time.
If you have any questions regarding the site or forum, please e-mail us at moderators(at)emtlife.com. You'll need to replace the "(at)" with "@".

Community Leaders will use their discretion, depending on the nature of the post, as to whether to take action or not.

Advertising Services- We do not allow people to post threads or to send private messages or emails to users here that advertise or solicit any products or services. Explicit advertising in signatures is also prohibited. Advertising in any way is restricted until you have 10 non-advertising related posts. This gives our members a chance to get to know you first. In addition, all advertising must be placed in the appropriate forums. For the purposes of this forum, Advertising is defined as promoting ANY product/website/forum/service/blog/etc... that is not directly part of EMTLife.com. The Community Leaders have the responsibility for determining what is advertising, and their decision is final.
No Legal Advice or Attorney-Client Relationship- Information contained on or made available through EMTLife Message Boards is not intended to and does not constitute legal advice, recommendations, mediation or counseling of any kind under any circumstance and no attorney-client relationship is formed. Do not act on or rely on any information from EMTLife Message Boards without consulting with a licensed attorney.
No Obligation to Monitor- EMTLife does not control the information delivered to the Message Boards, and has no obligation to monitor their content. However, EMTLife reserves the right at all times to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, or to edit, refuse to post or to remove any information or materials, in whole or in part, for any reason whatsoever, at its sole discretion.
Privacy- Message Boards are public and not private communications, and therefore others may read the communications and posts of any user without his knowledge. EMTLife recommends you should always use caution when giving out any personally identifying information about yourself in any posting or message. Generally, any communication that posted at Message Boards is considered to be non-confidential.

You may also report a guidlines violation via the reporting button located on every post. We have the ability to remove objectionable content and we will make every effort to do so, within a reasonable time frame, if we determine that removal is necessary.
