"FIRST - If you are visiting or using the Koivet board because you desire to become better at Koi keeping as quickly as possible - the first lesson you need to learn is to respect those who have EARNED the knowledge already, being respectful even if you disagree with them on some point. Those found in violation will find their username deleted in short order.

SECOND - The Koivet moderators who are on this site can help you, if you have decided to try to become knowledgeable about fish health. But we require a good attitude on your part, which is taken as a reflection of your sincerity in wanting to give it your absolute best effort. You are expected to start now and continue with every post you make on this site.

THIRD - Another component of courtesy is to use good English on this site. We're not in your neighborhood - you are in ours. The use of profane, abusive, personally offensive, or spiteful language is a sure way to get a quick exit from the site.

FOURTH - If you are addressing someone on this site who is a veteran in the care of fish, treat them with the respect they are due, as someone who has taken the time to learn everything possible about pond fish, and have come HERE to help YOU. Even more so if the person is a degreed professional with formal training in the aquatic area of veterinary medicine. New and old members who show contempt or disrespect for the leadership and Moderators of this site will be quickly banned for the benefit of the majority who can participate as well-raised adults. There is a difference between contempt and disrespect versus simple disagreement. If you are deleted, you will know you have crossed that line.

FIFTH - You came into this site voluntarily. You are a guest of the Koivet, the Koivet moderators, and Koivet's friends & hobbyists, for whom this board was created. Remember that, and act accordingly."
