Politeness:
Niceness to each other, respect for opinions, ignorance of trolls (I don't expect many here) and nice language, that's all.
Mutuality:
Responsibility for posting new information lies with all. As soon as you come across something, come here and if it hasn't been posted yet, go ahead.
Organization:
Follow the board structure. You are free to create new threads as per needs. For some topics, there might be no need to create a separate thread (for instance in case of the Rarely Seen Pictures thread under Cool Bale Stuff board). If you feel a change or addition to the board structure is called for, feel free to suggest it.
Spoiler tags:
The IMDb spoiler tags were perfect. I wish one of these days someone comes up with a spoiler tag plug in for these freeforums. Until then I suppose the following style may be adopted:
For large spoiler content:
__________________________________________________SPOILER AHEAD______________________________________________________
Spoiler content.....
________________________________________________END OF SPOILER_______________________________________________________
For short spoiler content:
unspoiled content **SPOILER AHEAD** spoiler content **SPOILER END**
Quotes:
So far I've been changing the font to Georgia to highlight a quote. You can use any font change that stands out to signal a quote. Just don't use quotation marks, since we often quote large excerpts that already have quotation marks in them. Also, using bold, or font color choices sometimes make things less reader-friendly. So...
Any other rules that should be up here?
