Conroe Today Forums Policy

Forums Etiquette

• Thread Subjects:
  Please use descriptive and accurate subjects when posting a new thread. Avoid using too general subjects like "I need help" or "Saw something interesting". Make an effort to include words that would benefit those making use of the search feature.

• Hijacking:
  Please refrain from "hijacking" a legitimate discussion by diverting it off topic. If an interesting point is brought up in a discussion but is not consistent with the original topic, then post a new thread and link to it from the original thread.

• Jumping on People:
  Please refrain from jumping on people for what they post. You can be nice and disagree, they are not mutually exclusive.

• Formatting:
  Do not post in ALL CAPS (it is equivalent to shouting). Also, please proofread your post. Your intended communication can be misunderstood because of poor grammar and spelling.

• Respect Moderators:
  Posters agree to yield to the requests of the Forums Moderators and/or Administrators.

• Fair Warning:
  Generally, Administrators and Moderators endeavor to provide fair warning regarding behavior which might warrant their intervention. Failure to heed warnings from the Moderators and/or Administrators is grounds for suspension of posting privileges. Except in the case of malicious behavior, such as spamming which requires an immediate response, the decision to disable an account usually comes after fair warning.

• Complaints:
  Users may disagree with the decisions or actions of the Moderators and/or Administrators. Disagreements and criticism should be directed to Forums Administrators. Contact the Forums Administrator
