When Heath Heathens was started, I laid out a certain standard by which I wanted this site to operate. The first responsibility of the site, HH message board, and for you as a fan, must be to treat both Heath and his family with dignity and respect. The concepts below are very important to the atmosphere that HH wants to create for this site. Because of this, HH may have slightly more definite rules than other boards. Please read them before posting. Thanks so much for your cooperation.

HH Administration
QUOTE

In accordance with the site's Mission Statement, the following will be enforced with no exceptions:
  • As a member, you agree never to post or link to any nude paparazzi pics of either Heath or Michelle.
  • You agree to never post or link to any paparazzi pics of Heath's children.
  • For the protection of Heath and his family, members should never post private contact addresses, including email addresses and street names, phone numbers, financial information or any other information that could be deemed a breach of security.
  • You agree to never post any hate, defamatory, threatening, slanderous or libelous messages/material on the Heath Heathens message board. You agree not to post jokes or stories that could be deemed discriminatory to any ethnic group/race, religion or sexual orientation.
  • You agree to avoid posting (or to edit before posting) articles that contain hurtful innuendo, uncorroborated accusations, or unwarranted speculation.
  • You agree not to speculate about the nature or status of Heath's relationships, future children, and such items that you might find personal yourself if strangers were discussing your private life.
  • You agree not to engage in political or religious debates. This is not to say that you can't mention a personal preference, or mention God; however, in order to ensure that everyone is comfortable here, HH does not allow any agenda to be pushed on the site, except our agenda of promoting Heath as an actor and his work.
  • You agree not to try to embarrass, humiliate, or to engage in arguments or name calling with other members.
  • Any member who joins for the exclusive purpose of posting spam will be banned. Spam posts will be immediately deleted at the discretion of administrators and mods.

OTHER GUIDELINES

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND WHEN POSTING ARTICLES: As a Heath fansite, it is our agenda and responsibility to promote Heath as an actor and his work. Heath Heathens welcomes member sharing of news articles, magazine clippings, photos, and informative snippets. However, HH is very picky about the kinds of articles or snippets that are posted on the site. Believing our members to be reasonable and fair Heath fans, HH is going to trust that you will post articles that live up to our desired standards, which are as follows:
  • HH chooses not to use articles from sites such as Defamer, Gawker Stalker, Jossip, and other similar sites.
  • HH also chooses to edit articles that contain the writer's "snarky" commentary. Commentary under the guise of journalism, that is speculative or written with "attitude" and which has nothing to do with the actual facts, is not welcome on the message board. Please keep this in mind when sharing articles you find. If you feel an author has a deliberate "anti-Heath" bias or is simply writing the article as an excuse to slam Heath, do not post it, or only post the pertinent news information and remove the unwarranted attacks.

    While the forum is moderated, HH is also going to rely on the good judgment of our members to help protect Heath from abuse at the hands of the media.

Our number one priority is to not hurt Heath in any way. Posts on the board must all fall under that guideline. Always remember that you never know who is reading your posts. What do you want your posts to say about you? What would you want Heath to think of you IF he ever saw your posts?*

And again, thank you so much for joining and participating in the Heath Heathens message board. Feel free to start games, film, character, and book discussions, share artwork and poetry, and get to know your fellow Heath fans.

We may all have many differences, but we are brought together by a shared affinity for a wonderful actor, which makes us brothers and sisters on this site.

Thanks again!
