House Regulations and Recommended Threads
Posted: April 10th, 2009, 7:50 pm
Welcome to Our House. Feel free to make yourself at home, pull up a chair and have a beer (or a Fanta). We are a community founded in a quest for friendship, individuality, freedom of expression and love of all things Duke. Therefore we strive to be lightly regulated, but we have some basic guidelines, that if followed, will keep us as the great forum we want to be.
1. Respect your fellow members. Please refrain from personally attacking anyone in the forums. Think about what you write. In the end your words reflect more upon you, not the member you are addressing. If you DO have issues with another member's post, question what they have written and their ideas, but don't attack them as an individual.
2. Keep to the topic originated in the thread. If you have an entirely new idea, either create a new thread or post in the LTE 2.0. (Longest Thread Ever, 2nd edition). If a posted thread starts to veer off topic, the mods might have to intervene, and that means they have to get out of their chair. They sit in comfy La-Z-Boys and are happy not having to get up.
3. Our moderators work on a rotating basis. At some point you might get designated to be one. Respect what they do, but if you have an issue with any actions, send a private message to ALL the mods in the current rotation. They can then look at the situation as a team, not individuals.
4. Have fun. This really is rule number one, but if it's posted last, you are likely to remember it the best
.
GO DUKE!!!
