Let it first be said that every member, and guest, should read and abide by the Guidelines and Policies of any message board they visit. However I am a realist and know that most people will only give the rules a quick look or none at all. Alot of this is because most people are not out for trouble, they only want to post and entertain themselves for how ever long they are on the net. I cannot fault them for not wishing to be bogged down by a bunch of rules that they had no intention of violating anyways. That is why I posted the two main rules at the top of the board in the Welcome Message. It is quick, painless and easy to remember.
The rules listed here are an expansion of those two rules and are posted mainly in the event that a member wishes to review them. If the rules are posted, the Staff has to abide by them as written. In the event the policies and rules are misworded, we will have to correct that wording before we can enforce the rule we are trying to enforce.. or else we have to judge the situation as it is written. Once again, this can protect the member.. but it can only protect the member if the member is aware of what the guidelines are.
The first rule of this board is to have fun, or enjoy yourself. in a manner that is not violating the rights of others to enjoy themselves.
Thanks for listening.
