*Please be aware that this is my personal message board. It is not dedicated to any celebrity or to any one subject. Its content, design and organization are chosen by me. And, though I will listen to suggestions, I do not answer to anyone.

*You can feel free to say almost anything here but please, think before you type and re-read what you have written before hitting the post button! Also, please watch your language in the non-adult sections! If you take the time to read a bit before you post, you will probably get a feel for what is acceptable to me and what is not. It will be my decision if something goes too far -- I will contact you if I think you have -- and I will delete any post that I feel does not belong here.

*I consider this to be a "PG-13" board so please keep that in mind when you post. However, I have stories which are quite adult in nature (language, violence and sexual content). Please do not ask for access to the adult stories if you are not 18 or over -- and please do not ask for access if you are, in any way, sensitive about R-rated material. We each have our "moral compass" about what is and is not acceptable -- and I am comfortable with my choices.

*If you prefer not to discuss a particular subject, then please DO NOT POST in that thread! It makes absolutely no sense for someone to post about not wanting to post! Also, please do not post telling others what they should or should not discuss. Your business is to take care of what you do or do not want to discuss, not to police other members.

*If you wish to post a picture or an article, please give credit where credit is due. And don't post anything that someone has asked not to be posted -- just provide a link if you're not sure.

*Please do not post any photos that contain full-frontal nudity or post any links to pornographic websites. While I don't consider myself to be a prude, there are just some things I don't want on this board.

*I do not allow other writers' works on this board. It is not a matter of "professional jealousy" but simply one of time constraints -- as mentioned above, there are some things I would not want on this board and, in order for me to be sure, I would have to read anything and everything a writer submitted -- and I just don't have the time to do that in a timely fashion. Therefore, I just have to say no.

*While I don't mind members supplying links to their own personal forum/blogs/sites or linking to any of their favorite places (either by siggy or in the body of a post), new members need to introduce themselves in some way (the introduction section is a great place to start) before they do this.

**Any
first post which contains nothing but a link or something weird (my decision) will be deleted.

*Please note that many of the forums have their own specific guidelines -- those will tell you what belongs there. I reserve the right to move threads to more appropriate forums, if necessary.

*The answers to most basic questions concerning this board are already posted -- please check to see if your question has already been answered before you post about it or contact me. Announcements/changes are posted in this category. Occasionally, announcements are posted in more than one category.

*Please visit the Technical/Forum Help/Suggestions forum (in the Administrative area) for information on becoming a member of this board and/or applying for admission to MBA (Membership By Application) forums. By requesting admission in the forums marked "adult", you are signifying that you are 18+. You must be a member of this board in order to request admission to the MBA forums.

*A word about my Obsessions forum (concerning my favorite actors/singers). This is my personal board and not affiliated with these folks in any way (I do have a separate board for actor Jason Flemyng who I am in contact with). I do request that posts be respectful but there is very little that is off-limits. I respectfully ask that you do not tell me -- or any other poster -- what should or should not be discussed here. Boards dedicated to specific people have their own rules and regulations when it comes to what can be posted but subject matter here is at my discretion. If you don't wish to participate then, by all means, do not.

*If a member has been contacted (by me) for inappropriate conduct but continues with said behavior or if it comes to my attention that someone is causing problems for this board or its members by e-mail, PM, in chat or on other forums, that person's privileges for this board may be terminated. This will not be a decision made without careful consideration.

*For more detailed guidelines, please read Computer Etiquette
