If you make a post that contains a copy and paste or a quote from a PilcheskyDeceit Poster and you have no comments to make concerning said post ... the post shall be removed in order to conserve space.

Thank you for understanding!

I am quite disappointed that I would have to add this rule ... I thought it should simply be understood ... but it is not:

I am currently in discussions via email with the moderators to come up with a strict rule against posts concerning children! It will not be tolerated here, please look for the new rule ... it will also be poste under Board News.

If your post contains any remarks that concern the reputations of children/young adults i.e. name calling or anything that could be damaging to said young person ... it shall immediately be removed or edited by the Site Administrator or a Board Moderator ... if you continue to make such posts a vote will be taken by the Moderators of this board as to your membership status and a possibility of being totally banned from the site (no reading or posting privileges) will be taken.

You must register with a valid email address. If yur email is found to be invalid you will have a reasonable amount of time to register a valid email address before your user name and posts are deleted.

Also ... Do not register multiple user names, this is easily checked as the IP address on these names will all be the same. Anyone who is doing this will have all but the main name deleted. If it becomes an ongoing problem then all user names will be not only deleted but the IP address will be banned.

These rules are in effect immediately no exceptions to these rules.
