robbalvey Posted February 14, 2005 Author Share Posted February 14, 2005 Theme Park Review Posting Rules! When posting to TPR please try to keep the following in mind: 1. Be Descriptive! Your topic title and your description should give some DETAILED information about what your topic is about! Chances are, more people will click on your topic and give you feedback. 2. Use the "search" function. If you are posting about a news item or something of high importance ask yourself "could this possibly have been posted already?", like "Six Flags Astroworld is closing", "Michigan's Adventure is finally building a new roller coaster", etc... chances are, it probably has. So do a search first. 3. SPELL CHECK YOUR POSTS & USE PROPER GRAMMAR!!!! A typo here and there is completely acceptable. We all are guilty of this. But when someone can't READ your post due to bad spelling, grammar, lack of capitalization, etc, that's a problem. 4. Do NOT use "internet shorthand" - Use the proper and complete spelling of words. Do not shorten "you" to "u", etc. Every phone and computer has a full sized qwerty keyboard... USE IT!!! 5. Don't be "annoying" - For example, if you see that the "fart thread" has been closed, for reasons like "This was funny for a day, and now it's just stupid" don't start ANOTHER "fart thread." In short, annoying members will end up being banned. 6. Check each forum for specific rules - If there are specific rules in each forum, they will be posted as a "sticky." Please read these for further instructions. For example, in the "Professional Amateur Videographer Forum", unless you are uploading a file, creating new topics is not allowed. Overall, we're not trying to be mean or strict, but the fact is that we now have over 6,000 registered members, and we need to keep the quality of the board at a high level. We don't delete, edit, or close posts very often, but we will have to if these simple rules are not followed. If everyone can follow these rules, it will make Theme Park Review a better place! Thanks again for all your support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
