We hope that 2015 is a prosperous year for you all.
We want to thank you very much for joining Fans of Interracial Romance, and for your participation that has kept this group going strong for over five years. This message is just a reminder of our purpose and our goals and expectations on this group.
A goal of this group is to promote and to discuss interracial romance in any of its various forms. This is a general audience group, which means we don’t restrict membership based on age, and discussions should be appropriate for members under eighteen as well. Regardless, we want to foster an environment where members are welcome to discuss openly and freely, so long as they show respect for each other and with an understanding that we may have younger members on the group. This group is open to any and all members of interracial romance, across boundaries, ethnicities and cultures.
This is a place people come in order to engage with others who have a shared affinity for interracial romance, even if their particular love is a specific category in the overall genre. This should remain a place where we are able to have mature dialogue even should it be challenging, uncomfortable, unconventional, what have you.
We treat members with the assumption that they are mature enough to be able to discern whether what we are saying is said in a manner that befits mature behavior, while maintaining respect, but without alienating anyone. That doesn't mean we all have to like what everyone says, however we can appreciate their point of view and move on. We are a community. As community leaders it is our responsibility to promote, foster and maintain the environment we wish to see this community remain.
Alienation of members based on race, culture, ethnicity, sexual preference or any other reason is not welcome or tolerated. Members who cannot show respect for each other and intend to cause dissension, ridicule or discriminate against members are not welcome on this group and will be removed immediately or based on a three strikes policy based on the severity of the offense. Additionally, bullying members because of a difference of opinion will not be tolerated. Agree to disagree and do it respectfully. Show respect for those who opinions differ from you and engage with them as an opportunity to have a good discussion that gives you a different viewpoint and not an opportunity to have a verbal flamewar or epic 'us versus them' standoff. This is not the group for that behavior.
Our goal is to have discussion threads that cover the various aspects of interracial romance, and if you do not see a category that you enjoy reading (or in the visual media), you are more than welcome to start a discussion thread. If you have any problems or questions as you navigate the group, please don’t hesitate to send a private message to any of the moderators. To the bashful members, please don't assume no one cares about a topic just because it hasn't been discussed. You may be the trailblazer who opens the door to that topic. We'll cheer you on for doing it!
If you know other readers who enjoy reading about love that crosses racial/ethnic boundaries, please invite them to join our group.
Thank you very much for your participation and taking the time to do your part to make this group a successful and friendly group for all members.
Sincerely from the Moderators,
Danielle
