    We have members who delight pushing the limit of the rules, much to the chagrin of our moderators. Thankfully though they are well-sensed and polite enough to do their line-dancing in the Backroom.

    They eventually make their way to the Entrance Hall, don't they? I remember DevDave being a regular greeter in the Welcome thread.

    Whenever a big name Backroomer has to take a time out, they normally stop by here to have a few and hang with the newbloods.

    The Entrance hall, much like the Watchtower, is left open to you should you wrack up too many warnings and need a break from it all. It's a way to stay in touch with the community despite passed infractions. If you continue to cause trouble, however...

    Gah, the Backroom

    Real men go to the Gameroom where they lynch or kill their opponents

    There is much talk of the Backroom.

    For me it is just a blank space, I am clearly not worthy.

    How does one gain entry to experience its rumoured delights at first hand?

    To expand upon this:

    Backroom membership is approved by the moderators who watch over that place. They can revoke your backroom status at any time should you choose not to play nice. They also reserve the right to deny you access in the first place if it is proven, or suspected, that you will join only to be a combative and hostile poster.

    For the most part everyone gets in and is deserving of a chance, unless you give the mods reason to suspect otherwise.

Here, for the most part, there is a consensus to keep oneself to the spirit of the forums, and to accept the axe when it falls. Probably to do with the more mature membership. eg. IIRC the average Orgah was 24 or something in last year's survey, while the Backroom, which is where the political discussion is, has an even greater average age.
    That's quite appealing to me.

    Alright, I requested Backroom access.

    Haha, funny smileys here.
    Life is full of surprises and you never know what you're going to get until you get it; always expect the unexpected.

    Firstly, go to your "UserCP" > "Group Memberships".

    You should be presented with a list of a variety of groups. Select to join "Backroom" and then click "Join Group" at the bottom of the page. When asked to input your reason for joining, feel free to leave it blank.

    After that, just wait for up to a week for the Backroom mods to allow you access. Once that's happened, you should be able to see the forum.

    Hope this helps

    Gah! Looks like I've been beaten to it!
