General Posting Etiquette

The MRC is an open community, with open lines of communication. But with this openess comes a responsibility for you as a Member and Poster to the boards.

First, use common since. The members of this community range in age from 15 to 50. Please make your posts reflect that.

Second, use good grammer and spelling. No one likes to read a post that is full of mistakes. They take more time decrypting them than it's worth.

Third, make your subjects match what your talking about. A subject that is lousy or off topic will get the topic closed faster than you can spell 'Variable Fighter'.

The MRC has a program to introduce and teach new members how to post on the community. Please take your opertunity to be a Beginhill Cadet seriously.

I feel that it's quite sad when any board gets past the stage of self-regulation. But as any community grows there is always a danger of standards degenerating. Just wish it didn't have to get to the stage of topic lockdown for folks to get the message.

just a thought:
shouldn't this be on the General Purpose board, where the issue at hand is more rampant?

there is already one of these notices at the top of the General discussion board. It is here too since it is an "announcement" as well as (if you haven't noticed) when you go to the log in screen (www.macrossrpg.com) it shows up there too for all to read as they log in. <IMG SRC="/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

The reason you will see things posted here and on the General Purpose board is exactly what Apeman already noticed, I have the 1st topics on this board setup to show on the MRC homepage.
