Various Requests

*Please don't post complete song lyrics (unless it's a song lyrics thread). Quoting a singer is fine, but seeing the chorus 12 times (or the same line over and over) is unecessarily spammy.

*Please remember to be nice to each other and respect each other's opinions.

*more to come as they pop up.

Size of sig graphics has been a newly raised point, as we're starting to see some that are 3 times the size of the actual post they're attached to. Per Iago, they should be no larger than 5 lines of type.

At the time of this post, my sig is exactly that.

How to Play Nice with Each Other, Part I:

*Unless you are actually the spokesperson for a group, don't speak for others. You're going to get people upset.

*Do not tell people to "take a breath," "chill," or anything like that.Moderators are the exception to this rule, because it's our job to do so. I've seen these expressions used more than once, and it needs to stop, as it only guarantees more negative feelings arising. If you think someone is overreacting to something, either answer logically, or contact the moderators to take a look at things (note: we may not agree with you)...do not try to impose your will on another poster.

*Respect your fellow posters, and their opinions. Furthermore SHOW said respect.

*Leave any prejudices you have at the door. If you're from North Dakota and think all South Dakotans are loudmouth, pompous jerks who think you're scum because you live near Canada, leave that opinion off the boards, and keep it from flavoring your posts and assuming NedSDakota69 meant "You suck" when all he really said was "Hi." Do not read your prejudices into what other people say. I know, sometimes, it's hard...we all look at the world through tinted lenses...but try.
