Me again!

We've had really bad snow in England and due to being snowed in for pretty much the last week, I decided to give the rules post a go. Here's what I came up with, any comments or suggestions? Any rules you think it would be better to change?

If everyone approves I'll get this and the new FAQ post I did posted on the comm, I figured with the influx of new members we've had recently it was about time to get these things fixed!

Welcome to the hey-say rules post! Please read this carefully before posting!

What will happen if you break the rules:

• For minor rule breaking (eg. misuse of fonts/LJ-cuts) you will be warned and asked to edit your post.

• For major rule breaking (eg. posting something that is not allowed) your post will be deleted.

• If your post needs to be deleted THREE times, you will lose posting access and must contact a mod to request it back. You will be given a period of two weeks in which to learn the rules and you will be given a small test to ensure you have taken them in.

• In certain circumstances, at the mods’ discretion, you may lose your posting access immediately or even be banned from the community but this will only be for very serious things (eg. posting johnny’s net videos, extreme/offensive bashing)
   

 

If you notice any posts that break our rules, please let one of the mods know!! Likewise if you notice anyone behaving inappropriately in the comments of any post, please let us know and we will deal with it!
