Help For New Users Who Can't Post, and General Posting Guidelines
OK. Here are the basics:
1. No links to porn sites (hardcore or soft). Period. This includes hxxp links. 2. If you think a site has questionable content contained therein, use hxxp when posting a link. 3. Please be careful about posting pictures in a thread, even if they are pictures from a legit site like ESPN. Think of the FOFCer who is surfing sitting at the desk at his office.* 4. Please note that these are general guidelines. It just isn't feasible to attempt to write a set of rules that take into account every single possible linking scenario. The mods will make judgement calls on enforcement, and their decision is final. *--And before you say, "Well, they shouldn't be surfing at work," consider that there are those who are allowed to surf the 'net during "down-times" at work, but if someone walks by and there's a picture of a woman in a bikini/underwear/skimpy clothes, they may get called into question. OK. Now that the basics are out of the way, below I've copied and pasted some comments from the original thread that I found important to help people understand why we have this policy. The bottom line is this: it is a courtesy to other board members who may have different guidelines at work than you do. Here ya go: Quote:

OK. This was up for a full week. Bumping and un-stickying.

Just to clarify, DD direct-linked to a couple of pics from maxim online. The pics were innocent enough, and not even of scantily-clad girls. The problem is that I would strongly suspect that a link to maxim online would raise red flags with some of the 'net usage snooping software. Please consider not just the content of the pic, but the content of the site that it is on.

SkyDog, I'd like to add something here. Gambling sites. They are also banned at most offices, and companies that use spyware technology often find those sites as jsut as bad as Playboy

Hate to be a pain but can we ban the worse sort of swears in thread titles? As someone who is currently surfing from work at a public place, it makes me quite nervous having that.

***ATTENTION NEW USERS WHO CAN'T POST***
Once you register for the board, your validation e-mail should be sent *immediately*. If it does not appear in your e-mail inbox within a few minutes, check your spam folder. Odds are, it's in there. If it's not there (if your spam blocker auto-deletes spam, for example), then you're going to need to unblock the domain "sportplanet.com", register another account, then respond to the validation e-mail.

I'll post this here because it may be somewhat relevant to post content, but how do I report PM spam? I got a spam message from a user, and I don't see a "Report this post as spam" option anywhere.
