READ ME, On posting etiquette

[Mithrandir]

Fellow Orgers, a while back I made the post below :

Dear junior members, members & senior members,

recently some people seem to have forgotten what the Org is about.

A friendly place where everyone feels welcome, with interesting topics and discussions. A place to ask how it is that your cavelry always gets beaten by camels or how exactly you have to modify your files so elves can fight stormtroopers.

A place where people will respond in a respectful & contructive way. This is especially true for the Entrance Hall, where most new members will start.

If you haven't already, read the forum rules. If you already have, read them again. When posting, remember the rules, but just as important : use your common sense. Treat others the way you'd like to be treated yourself. If you feel something you're about to post could be taken as offensive, rephrase it or don't post it at all.

Hopefully needless to say : trolling, baiting and flaming will not be accepted. The staff has a variety of tools at their disposal to make a patrons virtual life a whole lot harder, but we don't like to use them. So please make sure there's no need for it.

If you feel offended, do not post a return-insult or a defensive post, but instead send any of the moderators a Private Message. They will act appropriately.

If you disagree with any of the above, feel free to send me a Private Message to discuss. If you think I've missed something, please post it.

I feel the need to repeat myself and add the points below :
When posting make sure the post is :

-not breaking the forumrules
-constructive
-respectful
-pleasant to read (no caps lock, no abundance of smileys, no spam,limited text speak)
-Does not contain (mild) swear words


If staff has decided to close your thread, issue a warning or take other actions with which you disagree, do not post in the concerning thread or in the entrance Hall! This will disrupt the thread/forum. Instead first contact the staffmember involved, if you cannot come to an agreement with him/her contact TosaInu (forum Admin) or post in the Watchtower forum.
