The Ancient and Venerable Rules From the Beginning of Time
Posted: Tue Mar 17, 2026 10:13 pm
No political anything.
No blatantly commercial posts.
Keep religionism at bay, please.
No tech bashing.
No PC vs Mac wars, no My-Editor- Rules-Your-Editor-Lags flames, no "My Mic Is The Only One Worth Having" slams.
For Chrissakes keep it clean. Things that lean too far into vulgarity or puerility are going to get a smackdown.
Sarcasm and invective are not effective means of getting your point across; they only make the point that you have a chip on your shoulder.
If you hang yourself out on a limb, you deserve to be beaten like a piñata.
If I DO write to you off board, it's an effort to help you maintain a decent reputation here at VO-BB. Most people are gracious and understand the business of keeping things smooth.
To the people who give me heat: Don't. I'm trying to help you not look like an idiot. Either make changes or take the consequences.
Finally, all registrants are part of this community at my pleasure.
Suspension and bannination are completely and solely within my purview.
