Discussion Board Policy Statement
This page exists to inform you of the guidelines that you are required to follow when posting messages on the Discussion Board.
These are not 'helpful hints'... these are policies, and violation of these policies will either cause your message to be removed, or to not be posted in the first place.
Do not treat these guidelines lightly. Every Discussion Board message is reviewed and is therefore checked for its adherence to these policies. Repeated violation of these policies will prompt me to temporarily ban posting priviliges from the server that you happen to be using.
Posting Guidelines
- No Profanity Under no circumstances is any type of profanity or obscene language allowed. Messages containing obscene language will not be posted. Messages that attempt to circumvent this by replacing letters in obscene words with wildcards (*) will be removed. Posters who use this technique repeatedly are the quickest to be denied access to posting on the Board.
- No Pornography We will not intentially host pornography on the server that I pay for. We will not willingly accept donations of pornography to this site.
- No Flaming Any post that intentionally and maliciously attacks any user(s), or prompts another user to attack back, will be removed. Any post that intentionally and maliciously insults or degrades any user(s) will be removed. If you see such a post, DO NOT RESPOND TO IT. Getting attention, good or bad, is the the goal of the poster... therefore, a simple (and YES, it is SIMPLE) solution is to IGNORE that post(er)... you may send me an email at webmaster@vaultworld.com to alert me of any problems in this area, or you can simply wait until I become aware of the post via other means... in any case, We WILL remove that post sooner or later. But again, DO NOT REPLY TO SUCH POSTS.
- No Commercial Posts, please use the sections of the site dedicated to commerical products and don't clutter the boards.
Bear in mind that these rules are not iron-clad, nor are they all inclusive (as they could never be.)
They are the highlights of the manner in which we run this discussion board. You will never see a tight or inflexible definition of what a flame is, what profanity is, what pornography is, etc. on this site because those judgements are shaped within my own mind, based on my life experience, self-consciousness, morals and ethics.
As such, when you post here, placing your words and pictures on my server, you agree that We have full discretion in when and how those words and pictures will be removed, when the time comes to do so. The Internet allows you to host your own words and pictures on a site of your own; here, at my site, the Internet allows me to host as I see fit. I do not claim ownership of your words and pictures (or ideas) but I do claim the right to remove donations of these words and pictures from my server at my own discretion. If this policy bothers you or causes you undue frustration, please do not post at this board.

Here is a brief explanation of some of the questions you may have
about Bulletin Board.
Can I put html tags anywhere in my posts?
No. You can not use HTML tags in any field except body of the message.
The maintainer of the script has the option of allowing or
disallowing any HTML in the Message part of your posting. If
they disallow it, the script will just throw out everything in
<>'s. If they allow it, your html markup will appear in
the posting. It can't hurt to try.
Why are there colons in the message when I try to post a
followup?
Colons appear in the message dialog box when you try to followup up on a
message to indicate that those lines are quoting the previous document.
The owner of the Bulletin Board can decide whether they wish to enable or
disable the quoting of previous messages.
Why didn't my post show up?
Your post most likely did not show up, because your browser did not reload the
page, it simply pulled it out of cache. Please reload your browser and it
should then appear.
Where can I get the scripts for this program?
The scripts are written in Perl and created by Matt Wright and Modified by Steven Miller. They are
free to anyone who wishes to use them and you can get them as well as other
scripts at: Vaultworld Cgi-Scripts.
Enjoy!
