[Angie]

Okay. Here they are. Not painful at all Please read and follow them accordingly. Not following the rules could lead to banning of your account and/or IP address.


1. Please try to use proper spelling, grammar, punctuation and capitalization in your posts. Please type as legibly as you can. I promise you won't be graded

2. Please stay on topic. We have forums for virtually everything here and while I want us all to have fun, let's make a reasonable effort to keep everything in their proper place. It's pretty easy to get around here so please just take a second to look for the correct forum before you post something. If you can't find what you are looking for please start a new topic or if you think it deserves its own forum, them please pm an Administrator with the suggestion.

3. Always be polite and respectful to other members and to Idol contestants past, present and future as well as their families and friends. Flaming, trolling, bashing, remarks that are racist, sexist or of homophobic nature and insulting people for personal preference and opinions are behaviors that are not tolerated. Keep in mind that this site will have members from all races, nationalities, age groups and political, sexual and religious preferences. Its okay to politely disagree with other members, but judging another member or being rude not tolerated here at all. It could result in banning of your account and/or IP address.

Please report member conflicts to an Administrator or Moderator via PM. Do NOT try to solve it yourself and participating will just encourages their behavior.

4. When posting news and other information from outside web sites, please post only a portion of the article with a link to the original article. We could possibly get in trouble for posting the full text. If you would like to post a picture, please upload it to your own Photobucket account or other image hosting site. Contact an Administrator or Moderator if you need help with this.

5. This board is for all ages so please keep your posting age appropriate so it can be read by all members. The only exception will be the Adult Boards, which is open to everyone 18+ and will involve all types of discussions. There will also be Adult Forums for certain Idol contestants. Please contact an Administrator if you would like access to the Adult Boards and/or request that an Adult forum be added for one of the Idols. Thanks.

6. Please DO NOT share personal information as this is a public forum and for your safety only share email or other personal information through pm or by private email. We want our members to be safe. Remember, the people we are talking to may not actually be who they say they are. Remember safety first. If you have any problems please contact an Administrator.

The same rules apply for the Shout box on the portal page as do for the forum. Please be respectful of all members and their opinions. We do have moderators and they can ban you from shout box for breaking any forum rules.

With that said...Have fun!!

Please Note: If we have continued problems with members "misbehaving" in the cshout box they will potentially be disabled. Thanks.

We do have forums for members who are 18+. The same general forum rules apply except you can pretty much say what you want and post what you want. Except pornography. Seriously....sorry

If you would like to have access to these forums, please contact myself or geewindu by either leaving a post in this thread or sending one of us a PM.
