Newbies

A "Newbie" is someone who has only created an account with a confirmed E-Mail address. This is the most restricted user level.

Privileges:
- Can view all non-private forums, but can only post in "Newbie" Forums.

Members

A Member has proven that they are a legal Oregon resident. This means that they have proven that they are a legal Oregon resident by mailing, faxing, or emailing a photocopy or scan of their Oregon Drivers License (ODL) OR Oregon ID Card (OID).

Privileges:
- All "Newbie" Privileges.
- Can post in all Non-Private forums.
- Arcade
- Private Messaging (PMs) with a mailbox size of 30 PMs.

Verified Members

A Verified Member is a person who has paid the membership fee and proven that they are 1) An Oregon Resident AND 2) They have a current legal Oregon Medical Marijuana Progam (OMMP) card issued by the Department of Human Services (DHS) in Oregon. They have proven their legal status by emailing, faxing, or mailing a photocopy or scan of their ODL/OID AND their letter of verification from DHS, or official current OMMP card. This ensures other Verified Members on the board that they are a legal participant in the OMMP program and it is safe to aide them with medical marijuana and the cultivation thereof.

Privileges:
- All "Member" privileges
- Posting in all Private Forums a.k.a. "the Green Room"
- Can opt into special private rooms such as "politics and religion", "Rough & Ready" and more!
- Private Messaging (PMs) with mailbox size of 300 PMs.
- Access to "Flashchat", a realtime chatting program.
- Additionally, Verified Members receive discounts on ALL EVENTS, CLASSES, and SUPPLIES offered via OGFs own discount grow store, GGS.
All verified members have a green key Green Key Picture in their user profile and in every post they make located right under their user name. This helps to easily identify all verified members to the other verified members. NEVER AIDE A NEWBIE OR MEMBER with marijuana-related issues or you will be in violation of OMMP law and OGFs Terms of Service (TOS) Agreement that you agreed to when signing up for access. We are a law-abiding community and will NOT tolerate illegal activities via this site. It is up to you to verify that someone is a Verified Member BEFORE helping them.

Privacy Statement

Oregon Green Free does NOT retain any personal information found within any documents sent to us with the following two exceptions:
1)	We store the expiration date of your OMMP card.
	Why? We need to be able to tell when your card expires so we can remind you that you need to resubmit your new information to OGF. If a renewed OMMP card is not submitted before the OMMP Card Expiration Date, access to OGF will be suspended until you do as you are no longer able to prove that you are a legal OMMP cardholder.
2)	We store the Zipcode from your ID card.
	Why? So we can let you know what legislative district you are located in for voting purposes. Most members want to know so they can vote on OMMP related legislation and this is the easiest way to do that.
All documents are destroyed after verification and NOT stored.
