We have been hearing repeatedly that people are being defriended on Facebook, that people are being accused of associating with a slanderous website, that the PRC is doing its best to defame what this website is all about. This is a note from the ADMIN TEAM. We have no reason to believe that posts on this site are false or exaggerated. The claims regarding spousal abuse, child abuse, and many other distasteful things are in fact TRUE. Three of the ADMINS can attest to these and we are not alone. Slander means - a false accusation. These accusations are NOT false and therefore NOT slander - and we believe that these things are still occurring in the PRC. If the PRC does not like what is on this site, then maybe they will need to change their ways - truth is truth - the PRC should know this. We have provided a place called THE CONSISTORY ROOM to refute these claims. The admins have interjected and will continue to do so when a post appears to be exaggerated or not reliable. We suggest that anyone calling this site slanderous come forward and question specific posts. We have required refraining from using names as much as is reasonable. However, this does not mean that the names are not available.

A Note Regarding FACEBOOK
There have been individuals that have been posting information and links of this site on their personal Facebook pages. While we appreciate the energy, some of the information may have been misrepresented and may not accurately represent the goals of the Admin Team.
Please keep in mind that these people are individuals, working independently from the Admin Team and this site. While they are posting about this site, they DO NOT officially represent this site. Their views and comments are their own and while all viewpoints are still welcome they do not necessarily reflect the views of the Admin Team.
Thank you, The Admin Team

Please take a look at this graphic which indicates how to open up the rest of this forum for viewing and commenting.
The reason for the changes is due to harassment by PRC members who troll this site without posting, trying to associate anonymous members here with real-life PRC members. This goes against the intent of this site. These new changes will require members to have a certain number of posts before they can access deeper areas of the forum where anonymous members here can find solitude. The graphic shows the different ranks and the number of posts to achieve these ranks.

I just wanted to make a short PSA about reporting posts to the admins. We've had a lot of activity lately, and a lot of new users. The increased levels of activity can make it difficult to read every individual post in a timely manner. Because of this, I would like to show everyone how to report posts that you are uncomfortable with. Please, do not worry about reporting posts - I've reported posts before that the Admins have decided to leave up, and there were no hard feelings on either side about the process. It's just a way to let the admins know "Hey, this is a post that made me feel uncomfortable and I wanted to make sure you were aware of it." You should report any posts that you think break the rules. The nice thing about reporting posts is that the admins are able to quickly respond to a potentially offensive post, without having to weed through a bunch of posts that don't require any moderation. Every time that I have reported a post the Admins have quickly responded to my report, and usually if they decide to leave a post up they will tell me that they received my report but decided to leave it. Because of that, I didn't have to worry that they didn't see the potentially rule-breaking post. Reporting a post is quite easy. Up at the top of each post you may see options for editing, quoting, and a little settings icon. When you open the settings icon, there is an option that states "Report a Post". A text box will pop up that allows you to enter a short message to send with the report to the Admin team, and they will handle it from there. Here is a screenshot that shows where you can find the "Report a Post" option. If I were to fill out this report and submit it, it would report this specific post, not the entire thread.

It has come to our attention that PRC members are using our Private Message system to circumnavigate one of the main purposes of this forum - which is to find peace while posting here. If this has occurred to you, and the message is unwelcome, please contact a Trusted Member, or the Admin Team (Admin ) immediately, and we will deal with the situation.
The last thing you need is a rogue (but quite possible) PRC member trying to prob our members here to figure out who folks are.
Thank You
The Admin Team

RULE #9 - DOXXING In light of recent postings on our forum, the Admin Team has created a new rule. There will be no doxxing of any kind unless given names are of a known entity - either by law enforcement, or PRCA leadership. THIS INCLUDES DUTCH BINGO. While this can be a touchy subject, the Admin team is not interested in hearing individual cases brought by individual members, but if the need arises, the thread will be swiftly dealt with, and mitigated with little or no judgement. The amount of time, energy and effort in regard to managing this site is quite extensive as it is, so this subject will serve the pleasure of the Admin Team's utmost synodical thinking and decision making. No whiners, please. Those posts that appear to be doxxing will be sanctioned only by a trusted member (Bullet points-which is a group effort, thoroughly vetted, for example) or the Admin Team. If you feel you have a credible claim that you feel needs to be dealt with, please contact a Trusted Member or Admin by Private Message prior to posting it randomly in a public thread.
Let this be a warning to all. Thank you! The Admin Team
