When to post and when to pm: Please Read!

[**Sam**]

Wonder when to post and when to pm? No problem, we are here to help!

Please keep the following guidelines in mind:

• Before you post, ask yourself if more than a handful of people would truly be interested in reading your comment. If the answer is no, proceed no further!
  
  
• Generally speaking, comments or questions directed at the members of the forum in general should be posted in the appropriate thread, assuming that these comments are substantive, add value to the ongoing discussion and do not otherwise violate any of the forum rules.
  
  
• Comments or questions intended for individuals (even a few discrete people) should be pm’ed to those individuals.
  
  
• One-liner comments such as “That is so cool!” or “That rocks!” or “Thanks so much for that, I love it!” or “So happy to see you here, how are you?” are not appropriate posts as they add nothing to the discussion. Keep in mind that this is not a chat room or instant messenger; please be considerate of people who may visit the thread later and have to sift through the various posts to find comments of interest.
  
  
• If you get your socks knocked off by a post or a picture and you want to express your gratitude towards the poster, please do it in private! Again, comments such as “LOL!” or “That was so funny!” are not appropriate for posting; please take it to pm.
  
  
• Just a reminder that we should try our best to write in complete sentences and correct English; it makes it very difficult for others to read our posts when we write in shorthand or omit verbs/words. Calling Kajol "Kadz" is ok; saying you "lOv her SOOOO much coz she ROCKS!!%&!! my wurld" is not!
  
  
• Lastly, keep the golden rule in mind: if you would not want to read it if it were posted by someone else, don’t post it!
  

Please note that posts that violate this or any other forum rule will be deleted by the moderators without further explanation.

If you have any questions about this or any other rule, please do not hesitate to contact one of the moderators.
