3. Stay
secure.
Remember that our
site can be viewed
by anyone on the
Internet. With the
exception of our
registration and
personal pages,
search engines are
available within
this site. To guard
your privacy, follow
these simple rules:
do not share your

If you post your

be aware that you
may receive spam
e-mail from spammers
who gather addresses
off of the web.
4. Read
and react to posts
with care.
If you don’t
agree or are offended
by someone’s
post, take a step
back and think before
you reply. Since
we can’t talk
in-person to each
other, we must recognize
that we may be misunderstanding
stories or posts.
Please be sensitive
to others’
feelings and ask
for clarification
before acting out.
5. Search
before starting
new topics.
To keep our message
boards easy to use,
please use the search
bar to locate topics
of interest before
starting a new thread.
If you start a new
thread, please use
obvious subject
headings and words
that will catch
the attention of
others.
6. Stick
to our guidelines.
To keep this site
safe for everyone,
please refrain from
posting: doctors’
names and treatment
specifics, contact
information for
others without their
consent, links to
Web sites with uncertain
content or advertisements,
requests for fundraising,
items for sale,
or provocative information.
7. Sharing
photos.
Please use good
taste and appropriate
images when adding
photos to your profile
or personal stories.
Photos should be
in .jpg format.
Images loaded will
be automatically
optimized to
20K.
8. Not
following the rules?
CCFA moderators
routinely scan the
message boards and
will delete tasteless
posts. If you
post inappropriate
messages or
pictures or use offensive language in a post
on multiple occasions,
you will be notified via email and your account
