Be Courteous: Avoid Duplicate Posts Do not post the same message more than once on a message board or on many boards. Duplicate messages can be frustrating for other members, especially for those whose time and energy is limited. Weeding through the same message in multiple locations can be not only frustrating, but down right annoying. Duplicate messages will be deleted.

Don't Post Commercial Items: Don't post commercial messages or solicitations in message boards or during live chats. Posts containing commercial or product/service promotional messages -- included but not limited to references to internet sites, URLs, or links to other commercial Web sites -- will be removed.

Don't Post Others' Copyrighted Information: Information copyrighted or owned by any individual or entity other than the member should not be posted on the message boards or software libraries without the consent of the owner. If such an event occurs, the individual posting the information shall be held solely responsible. iVillage shall not be held responsible for member-posted information that may violate copyright law.
