feuhighschoolclass82 Rules and Guidelines

1. The more posts you make, the more forums you can access.
There are some parts of the forum that are accessible to members who have reached a certain number amount of posts. By creating this requirement, this forum has the following goals:

• Encourage casual visitors to register, thus increasing the total membership.
• Discourage leeching (or getting, without contributing) by requiring members to post.
• Improve interaction among members as a result in the increase in posts.


2. Newbies can introduce themselves at the Members Gallery of the website.

3. Newbies CANNOT start a new topic! You can only "REPLY" to existing topics.

4. You can only start a new TOPIC if you have made sensible posts.
With rules 2,3,4, redundant posts like "my name is 2hot2handle..." will be minimized. There are already Topics like "Introduce Yourself" or "How did you hear about this forum so that you can make your initial posts.

5. By joining feuhighschoolclass82, you agree to the Usage Policy

6. In starting new topics, make sure of the following:

• A similar thread does not exist anywhere. If another thread already exist, replies will be divided and the topic will be less effective/informative. This will also result in a very cluttered section.
• Use an appropriate title. There will be more replies if you use the proper title (or subject). Additionally, those who are not interested in your subject won't be inconvenienced.
• Be detailed and precise in your message. Failure to do so will only result in follow-up questions or wrong replies caused by mis-interpretations.
• Linked and locked topics may be pruned regularly to reduce page clutter. If you have a question about where your topic went, please PM a Moderator or Administrator before starting a new topic asking where it went, or posting a duplicate of the original topic. We will be happy to provide you with a link to the new location, or a reason why it was locked and/or removed.
• If the new topic has been closed by a moderator that topic may not be reopened by the thread starter even if they have the ability to do so. If you feel that your topic has been closed unduly you may request a review from any of the administrators.

7. Unacceptable topics are as follows :

• Incest
• Rape
• Drug use and/or sale
• Minors/Pedophilia
• Bestiality
• Blatantly criminal activities (robbery, homicide, etc.)

Failure to do so will only result in follow-up questions or wrong replies caused by mis-interpretations.
Admins and Mods may delete topics that violate the above without prior notice.

8. Procedures on how to share and request for contact numbers.
If you have a phone number to share, do not post the actual number in the board. Just give a description of the person and ask those who are interested to Private Message (PM) you.

Distributing the number via PM has 3 benefits:

• You'll be able to keep track of the people you give the number to.
• You can choose whom to give the number to.
• In case of problems, we can trace the offending member and disable his account.


To those who want to get the phone number being shared:

• PM the member offering the number. Do not post... "PM me the number." This is stupid and unacceptable behavior.
• Contact the member by clicking one of the few buttons available for that purpose.
• If you are found to cause trouble, your account will be disabled.

• Public posting of phone numbers in any format (i.e. using letters in the place of numbers) is strictly prohibited. This includes using a phone number as a handle/nickname or including it in a signature.
