Just a reminder of forum etiquette

[Fletch]

As we're in the closing days before spring break, just wanted to re-post this, as we will be getting new people left in right looking for INFORMATION....with that said....

In light of posts being deleted for a variety of reasons, I just wanted to remind everyone of proper forum etiquette that all of us should adhere to.

First and foremost, in regards to posting, we encourage all members to contribute to topics in which they are familiar or wish to become familiar with. If you are unfamiliar with a certain topic, and do not wish to learn more, we politely ask that you carry on to a topic in which you have an interest, as not to distract from the original posting. This should help the original poster find their answer in a quick and easy manner.

On a regular basis, new members come looking to attain specific information, and they deserve the most proper, knowledgeable information that we can provide them. Giving answers that provide no useful information are discouraging and will undoubtedly discourage new members from asking question.

Basically, posting just to post is not what this board is about. The number of posts next to ones name does not put them above any other member. Everyone has something different to offer this board and we want to give everyone a fair chance to speak their mind, share stories and memories and chat in a worry free place.

If you wish to carry on a non topic related conversation with another member, the private message feature is available to use and highly encouraged.

This is not a personal attack on any individual(s), just a reminder as to why we are here and what rules all of us should follow to ensure not only the best knowledge is passed along, but to keep this forum running smoothly.

Thank you for reading, and your help in the matter is greatly appreciated. If any other mods wish to contribute to this, by all means feel free.
