Section 1: General Rules

Section 4: Polls
Section 5: Attitude towards other members and/or staff
Section 1: General Rules
1. Don't post misleading subjects. Make the subject of your thread relevant to your topic.
2. Do not reply to obvious spam threads. Spam is considered any thread that lacks any point of discussion or is inappropriate to be discussed
3. If the first post should never have been made, then replies to it are considered as spam.
4. Do not create a thread saying you are leaving, you are back, or that you love peanut butter.
5. Staff may lock a thread at any time for any reason. If the reason is not obvious, a justification post will be made to explain the action
Section 2. Copyright and source citing
1. Please provide a link to the article and if need be a brief extract of that story.
2. Any thread that purports to be based on historical fact yet has no widely known information or has no credible sources will be considered spam and locked.
Section 3: Signatures and Advertising
1. Personal banners and signature areas (in the event of text) are limited to a size of width 500 and height 250.
2. Please follow this size and consider those with a smaller screen resolution when adding an image to your signature.
3. Logical size of the signature should not exceed 250KB.
Section 4: Polls
1. Polls must have at least 2 choices. [lolz]
2. When making your poll, be sure to promote discussion, to back up the choice they made (why did they choose that option).
3. The poll starter should post their choice and why.
4. Think carefully before posting the poll, do some research if needed (don't want to miss an option).
Any poll that does not follow the above guidelines will be locked.
Section 5: Attitude towards other members and/or staff
1. Posts that belittle other members will not be tolerated.
If someone comes here and asks for help, please give them a sensible answer and point them in the right direction. Do not make fun of them solely because they are new. We were all new one day and we all might have needed help likewise.
2. If you cannot be civil when replying, please do not reply. This is a friendly community.
3. We do not appreciate members belittling derigatory terms that relate to Special Olympics and to those that partake in them.
4. Please do not try to convert anyone to your way of thinking whether it be your internet browser/religion preference/or any other kind of preference or choice. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and should not be made to change theirs because you don't agree with it. If someone does ask for help with anything relating to 'their opinion', then either help them in a friendly way or ignore the thread/post.
