Atlantic Relationships
RULES
* NEW MEMBERS:- Upon joining the group you should post something in the ROLL CALL (General message board) within 3 days (7 max). If we hear nothing from you, we will assume you've no interest in the group and your membership will be cancelled.
* We would like you to post at least once a week (that way we know you're still interested in the group). If you're going away on holiday or have pc problems, you can let us know so we can keep your membership open. (You may have access to a pc at work, a friend's pc, or internet cafe to do this).
* No fakes allowed.. If we find you are not who you claim to be.. i.e fake name and/or using someone else's pic, you will be banned. You cannot start any relationship (including friendship) based on lies. Be yourself !!!
* Do not post anything that you know will be offensive to the members. If unsure, ask management before posting.
* Do not start a new thread unless it's necessary. You can say "Hello .. Good morning, etc" on the Roll Call. There may be a thread already in existance to use, that way the boards are kept tidier and we don't end up with loads of threads with 1 or 2 replies, and some threads containing important info slipping onto the next page.
* Do not post spam, hardcore pornography or links to such sites. (we get enough junk mail in our inboxes already for penis/breast enlargement, viagra, diplomas, etc)
* We encourage original posts but if you do post an article from another site, give them the credit for it and don't pass it off as your own.
* Please do not give out any personally identifiable information (such as social security number, credit card number, full name & address, driver's license number, password, etc.) on the boards as this information can easily be used for illegal or harmful purposes.
* Unlike some groups I know, we do not ban people for being members of other groups. We ask that you be fair, that means you don't use this group to post once in a blue moon (or claim you've been too busy to post anything) and we find you've been posting messages and/or pics on a similar group on a regular basis.
* The material in this group (ideas, pics, stories) are not to be copied in whole or in part and published on other msn groups without the consent of the owner and/or management. Anyone caught "stealing" from this group will be banned.
* Please DO NOT reply to messages via e-mail as this make a mess of the message boards, go to the group via your browser (internet explorer, etc) and post that way. It will only take you a few extra seconds, but will save management having to spend a lot of time clearing up your mess. (If you do have a genuine problem posting then please contact management or another member for help). (Rule added 21st September 2004)
