A little reiteration

Please, guys, make your posts worth our while. If you want to agree with someone, go right ahead, but please say something more than "I agree!"; try to add why you agree, or give another point about the topic. Also, if you want to thank someone (for posting an article and such), say more than "Thanks for sharing!"; say something that you thought was interesting about what the poster shared. In other words, be sure your post is adding to the conversation.

Also, if you want to start a new topic, please make sure there's not already a place for it. If you find a great article about Rob, post it in the "Article" stickied topic, otherwise we'd have a hundred topics in Rob's section with only a few replies in each.

4) Spam - No, not the imitation ham in the blue can...absolutely NO *bumps* to increase your number of posts. Yes, we all like to see the new ranks...but if you want to increase your post number, welcome the new members to our board.

5) Pointless Posting - goes along with spamming...if you don't have anything more to say than "thanks", "no" - simple things like that - don't post it. Unless there's honestly a question being asked or something...otherwise, it just appears that you're *bumping* your posts...and we frown upon that.

<~~ Yeah, like that.

6) Use "Search" - Don't post a new topic in whatever thread you want to put it in. If it's an article, put it in the article/interview thread. If it's about New Moon, put it in the New Moon section. You get the hint...It's called organization. I have OCD...you all seriously have NO idea how much that bothers me.

Sorry Molly about the article part! My bad. I'm blind apparently & forgot that there was a actual section for that in the New moon. Sorry!!

New rule added to our list. Thanks for your understanding in this matter - ALL admins agreed that this was fair to the members, and the celebrities we may be discussing.

Rumors - This is NOT up for debate. Members can discuss rumors if they have a *valid* source. Valid Sources = (as sleazy as some may be) TMZ, Just Jared, Perez Hilton. Non Valid Source = Myspace, Facebook, Livejournal, etc. As head TwiMom Lisa told me today, "Celebrities are real people, too. With feelings and mothers. Think about what that person's mother might think if she read what you wrote about him." End of discussion.

Good rule! I agree 100 percent! Thanks for adding that one on! :-D

Hey guys, just a little reminder: When you're replying to a topic, you don't have to quote the person above you. If you're replying to something that's a few posts back or if you're singling out specific parts of a post, feel free to quote.

Remember when we closed the forum down earlier this year? One of the things we cleaned up was the quotes. Quoting may no seem like a big deal, but it's redundant and it clutters up the forums.

I will most definitely have to take all of this into hand. I believe I am guilty for quoting. So, I must apologize for some of "my work!" I definitely will not ever do it again. :oops:
