Forum Rules & Moderators

Please help our moderators ("Community Leaders") to maintain the quality of our forums by adhering to these rules. These forum rules form part of our site's Terms of Use. Thank you in advance for helping us to keep our Forum a friendly and safe environment. Please enjoy using the PetPeoplesPlace.com Pet Forums.

Your Forum Leaders (Moderators)
Next to each user's name on discussion pages, and on their forum profiles, the member's status is shown (also see Discussion Forum FAQ's). Moderators of our forums are called "Forum Leaders". Our Forum Leaders have the power to modify, move or delete any message in our forums that does not adhere to these rules. However, they are also there to help, and will always do their best to answer your pet questions. From time to time we will be inviting more forum members to become Leaders.
