vpFREE Rules and Policies
The vpFREE Video Poker Group is a free forum for the discussion
and exchange of information about video poker and video poker
related topics. Everything pertaining to the overall VP experience,
especially in Las Vegas, is on topic. This includes VP theory,
machine inventories, casinos, slot club benefits, comps, LV
restaurant and entertainment reviews, trip reports, etc..
Every vpFREE member, as a requirement for continuing membership,
is expected to vote in all applicable vpFREE polls and elections.
Members are also expected to help keep the vpFREE DataBase current
by reporting video poker inventory changes in casinos that they visit.
vpFREE is, and will always remain, a non-profit operation.
CONDUCT: Members are expected to observe the rules of "NETIQUETTE",
and to practice politeness and show good taste in their posts to
vpFREE. Deviations from and violations of these conduct standards
will be policed by the vpFREE membership. Habitual abusers of these
conduct standards may be moderated or have their posting privileges
revoked.
The vpFREE Administrator will rely on vpFREE's members to police
conduct violations, and will move any "DISRUPTIVE THREAD" to
"FREEvpFREE", which is the free speech adjunct of vpFREE.
SUNSHINE POLICY: It is vpFREE's policy to share ALL known positive
VP games with the membership, and to record the information in the
DataBase.
MODERATION: vpFREE is semi-moderated, which means that established
members aren't normally moderated, but individual members can be
moderated for cause. All new members are moderated until they have
made a legitimate post, to help prevent spam messages.
PROMOTIONAL POSTS: The preferred promotional method on vpFREE is the
use of short, unobtrusive signature files. In addition, occasional
announcements of new or continuing offers of mainstream video poker
related products are acceptable. All other promotional posts require
prior approval.
ADMINISTRATION: The vpFREE Administrative Committee (a Dictatorship,
hopefully benevolent) makes, interprets and enforces the rules and
policies for vpFREE.
Posting Guidelines
1. Everyone should read and be familiar with the "vpFREE FAQ".
2. Every vpFREE message's subject line should accurately identify the
content of the message, to facilitate faster navigation by interested
or uninterested members.
3. If you reply to a message and change the subject matter, either start
a new thread (preferable) with a new subject line or rename the subject
line to reflect its new focus.
4. When replying to messages, quote just enough of the previous post to
maintain continuity. Clip the rest of the previous post.
5. When replying to messages, clearly differentiate the previous message
from your comments, so that it will be easy to identify who wrote what.
6. When you disagree with someone, consider replying by private Email.
If you respond publicly, be polite, non-personal (address the message,
not the messenger) and be gentle.
