After this post, I'm going to remind everyone to follow the rules:
1. Administrators are in charge. They have the power to edit out your messages or delete youe message. There are censors, but if you find away to get around the censors, your message will be deleted, or edited.
2. No pornographic posts of any kind.
3. This is a Guide for Newcomers, written by another board. I'm copying down the rules that pertain to this board:
1. Please remember that this is a message board. If you are looking to chat, there is a link from this page to a chat room. However, not many members make use of it. Chat room style posts will be deleted by the administrators.
2. Above all, please be respectful of the other board members. We are happy to welcome in anyone who cares to be a part of this forum. However, we will defend, fiercely, any member (or the board, in general) on the receiving end of unwarranted or pointless abuse from a newbie.
3. When you go and scroll through the previous page(s) of posts, take note of people’s names and logins. Try to make your name something different then everyone else’s. Say for example “Jessica” is your name, and it is taken, try “Jess” or just make a new one completely. We only like this rule because it avoids confusion. Network 54 does not allow people to have the exact same login as someone else, but you can take the exact same name if you wanted to. That is why I feel it necessary to make note of this, because not everyone looks at the login, and if they see two “Jessica’s”, they may think it is the same person.
4. You don’t have to be an English major to make posts, but it helps if you can read it. There have been plenty of people in the past, some maybe here still; who write so badly that it is incomprehensible. We generally don’t mind how you type, but please make sure it is readable. Well, actually, your typing will secretly bother people if it is like "ur all gone, so l8rs..."
Not a big fan of the phonetic shortcut...
5. More advice is that if you do want to chat, and nobody is in the chat room, make a post that says, "If anyone wants to chat, go into the chat room now. Admins can delete this after about 15 minutes" or something like that. It won't be considered pointless, since there will be a point, and you will get to "chat" if anybody comes in it.
6. If you have any problems about people, the board or something about the board, email the admins. Every mod's posts say "administrator" on them, so they are easy to spot. Their emails are available by their login.
