vpFREE Posting Guidelines - 1 SEP 2013
http://www.west-point.org/users/usma1955/20228/V/POL_P.htm
- Everyone should read and be familiar with the vpFREE
FAQ before posting messages on vpFREE Forums.
- Every message’s subject line should accurately identify
the content of the message, to facilitate faster navigation
by interested or uninterested members.
- 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.
- When replying to messages, quote just enough of the
previous post to maintain continuity. Delete the rest of
the previous post.
- When replying to messages, clearly differentiate the
previous message(s) from your comments, so that it will be
easy to identify who wrote what.
- Never post lengthy copyrighted material verbatim without
permission. This includes posts from non-vpFREE internet
forums. Instead, post a link to the material and/or a
summary. Short, credited excerpts may be quoted.
- Don’t use any vpFREE member’s real name, even their
first name, on any vpFREE forum unless they themselves use
their real name there.
- As a spam prevention measure, no one can upload to the
Files Directory on the vpFREE home page unless they get
temporary upload access from the Administrator.
- Casino personnel probably monitor vpFREE Groups so posts
containing sensitive information should take this into
consideration.
- Members are expected to observe the rules of
Netiquette , and to practice politeness and show good taste
in their vpFREE posts.
- Any post that disagrees with vpFREE Dogma and
reaches contradictory conclusions, should be supported with
significant, persuasive documentation. Generalizations and
limited anecdotal evidence aren’t persuasive.
- Most vpFREE members rely on the forum for accurate
information, and may misunderstand, misinterpret or be
confused by tongue-in-cheek posts which are presented as
fact. Always make it very clear in your posts if they are
tongue-in-cheek, by using “smilies”, stating that you’re
kidding or something similar.
- Use FREEvpFREE for any political, religious, or smoking
vs. non-smoking discussions. Non-partisan status reports
about smoking and non-smoking availability in casinos are OK
on vpFREE.
- If you have Yahoo administrative problems, send a
private email to the Administrator, after you have checked
the vpFREE Yahoo! Administrative Problems Directory.
- Let the Administrator do the administrating. Send any
comments, questions, suggestions or disagreements about
vpFREE policies or procedures to the Administrator via
private email or post them on FREEvpFREE.
