I'm going to copy this to all our message boards so some of it may not necessarily apply to the board I'm posting on.
First of all, please don't upload any graphics to this group that you don't have permission to use.
Don't take banners or graphics from other sites and use them unless the owners have given you permission. That includes pictures of actors and actresses found at sites like NBC or Soap city.
You can link to these graphics but you can not take them or post them in this group unless you've been given permission. Such graphics will be deleted from this group.
Second, please remember that we are a "G" rated group which means we need to watch our language. Excessive swearing is not allowed.
Managers will delete messages we find offensive.
Thirdly, please remember not everyone likes to know what's going to happen on the show before they actually see it.
People in Canada have an advantage over the people in the US because they can see the show a day ahead of us but you "can not" discuss it on the General message board unless you've alerted the members that you're talking about the Canadian show and then leave some space between the alert and what you're going to say so it doesn't jump out at the members. They then can decide if they want to scroll further and read it.
We do have a spoiler board and a Canadian board that can be used for this information.
If a manager finds spoiler information on the General Message board they will delete it.
We try and explain why something was deleted but sometimes time doesn't permit it and if it's spoiler information, it "may" get reposted on the spoiler board but not always.
If you have any questions or are unsure of what I'm saying, please ask for help.
Above all, we want everyone to have fun and feel comfortable posting here because all opinions are important to us.
Except for the spoiler rule, I am just reinforcing the rules set forth by MSN.
If we want our group to remain, we need to abide by MSN's rules.
Thanks for your continued cooperation.
Sheryl
