1.Duplicate threads- Don't start them! If there is already a thread for what you want to discuss, go to that thread. Don't make a whole new thread please, because this will make the board crowded and messy. No one likes a board where there are too many threads.
--Also, please don't start a new thread to tell us that your dog lost a tooth. If you have something minor to say, see if you can find a place for it before you start a new thread.
--When in doubt, use the off topic thread for your discussion. Think about what you want to say. For example, it's fine if you want to start a new thread for discussion of a particular season, but it'de be best if you held back on a new thread for the latest tv schedule change.
2.Computer lingo- Many users have stated their dislike of seeing it. No, this doesn't mean you can never use "lol". It's fine to use some computer lingo in your posts. But just not this- r u going 2 that gr8 show@ princton.i am.
Try to keep your posts readable. We don't want to spend hours translating.
3.Other boards- Lets adopt the Vagas slogan....whatever happens on other boards stays there.
4.Board wars- Of course arguments are going to come, but when you do have an argument, please keep it between yourself and whoever it is you're argueing with. You don't need a third party in the fight. This board is meant to be a fun place, so lets at least try to get along. And if some one gets in a fight, lets remember it's their fight.....you don't need to get involved. If everyone jumps in on a fight the whole board can fall to pieces. Now, if your buddy is the victim of what I like to call a newbie hit-and-run, someone gets an account just to start a fight, it's fine to stick up for them. But remember, admin is here for a reason. Don't let things get out of hand.
If you have major beef with someone, I mean, if you have somthing nasty that you just have to say to them, please, use your private messanger. That way no one else is drawn in, no one is embarrassed in front of their friends, and no one gets a bad reputation.
5.Capital letters and strange font and color- First of all capital letters are considered screaming, so don't write your whole post in them (Unless you're upset). Secondly, if you use too big or small font, it may be hard for other users to read what you wrote. The same goes for light colored lettering, it's hard to see.
This does not mean you aren't allowed to be creative and decorate your posts, go ahead and make them fancy if your want to, just be cosiencious of other reader's eyes.
6.Off-topic- Yes, we're all guilty of going off topic at least once (some more guilty then others!), but, we have an off-topic thread, so lets try to use it. If you find yourself going off-topic, jump over to the off-topic thread and continue your conversation there.
7.Marketing threads- Just ignore them and admin will take them down. Pming admin to make him aware of these kind of posts would also be a good idea.
I'll add some more later. Tell me what you guys think.
