Forum Guidelines - welcoming new members

Try to keep this to members whose 'hello' thread is less than a week old - I've had to send out lots of reminders recently  :'(

General Posting

Keep posts relevant, short, and on topic, especially on Help threads, and meeting organisation threads.  General Chat is the only area where we expect things will go off at a tangent!

Keep titles relevent, and not just 'Help me' etc.  Not everybody has time to read every thread Wink

Use English, no text speak which is notoriously difficult to read.

Members being offensive to other members will not be tolerated.

DON'T USE CAPITALS!  LOOKS LIKE YOUR SHOUTING!!

No discussion of acquiring or distributing copyrighted material.  If you legally own/licenced the material, thats fine.

No thread bumping (posting on a thread, purely to get it to back to top of the list).

Welcoming new members - keep this only to those members who have posted their hello thread within the last week.

My method is only to welcome members IF the welcome is under number 15, ie on the first page.

Maybe everyone should consider a member 'welcomed' if it has hit 2 pages and then not add any more welcomes?

I think many people do. But then somebody drags up a whole bunch of older ones, then everyone sees it on front page, and welcomes them.

Please quickly check the date of the first post in the thread ;)
