WATCH Camas Forum Rules
1. No Spam / Advertising / Self-promotion in the forums
That means unsolicited advertisement for goods, services and/or other web sites, or posts with little, or completely unrelated content. Do not spam the forums with links to your site or product, or try to self-promote your website, business or forums etc.
2. Do not post “offensive” posts, links or images
We can have a discussion, but let's be good neighbors. No blatent defamation, harassment, or abuse. Nothing deemed generally obscene, racist or otherwise overly discriminatory is permitted on the forums. Use common sense while posting.
3. Do not cross post questions
Please refrain from posting the same question in several forums.
4. Remain respectful of other members at all times
All posts should be neighborly and courteous. You have every right to disagree with your fellow community members and explain your perspective. But please do not blatently attack, degrade, insult, or otherwise belittle your neighbors.
5. No abusively "bumping" posts
A new post flows to the top of a feed, if you consistently post comments clearly intended to get your posts to the top of the page you will be contacted and can be banned if you refuse to stop.
6. Do not knowingly post copyright-infringing material
Providing or asking for information on how to illegally obtain copyrighted materials is forbidden.
7. No logical fallacies please
A logical fallacy is a flaw in reasoning. Logical fallacies are like tricks or illusions of thought, and they're often very sneakily used by dishonest folks to fool people and make them feel crazy. Common examples are: Straw Man, bandwagon, appeal to authority and gaslighting. See examples here: yourlogicalfallacyis.com
8. Please use your real name for your account.
We are real life neighbors in a real life town. This is the internet, but it's not THAT internet. We ask that you use your real name here (first and last). We feel that real names help improve the discourse and keeps posters accountable. If you have trouble changing that, please contact us for guidance.

Enforcement
You will never be banned without discussion. If you violate the rules stated above you will be warned if appropriate or immediately banned and contacted for a discussion. If we can clarify a misunderstanding, you will be reinstated.
The City explains what efforts are being made to inform utility customers about the Support Local and Save Challenge,
"The information regarding this program has been on the City website along with our social media sites and a YouTube video by Mayor McDonnell. Also, there is information on the billing going out this week that directs residents to the website about the program.
The Downtown Camas Association has been actively promoting the program along with a story by KGW News and an article in the local newspaper. "
The city should inform residents by sending the details of the program with utility bills, both emailed and mailed utility bills.
Thanks for the reminder to shop at Camas businesses that are allowed to operate thru May 31, save receipts, and get up to $75 off the Camas utility bill. I hope that all businesses will be allowed to operate soon, and that the city will extend the program beyond May 31.
