Default Posting Guidelines for New Posters - Living Forum

1. While debate and discussion is fine, we will delete any post that is rude, insulting, contains a personal attack or is inflammatory with no purpose.
2. Posters should post in a way that is respectful of other users. Flaming or abusing other posters in any way will lead to your posts being deleted.
3. Please stay in line with the topic being discussed and remember religion and race is off limits.
4. Posters should remember that the living forum is aimed at a general audience. As a rule, don't post anything you wouldn't want your (liberal) mom to read.
5. Spam posts will be deleted. We allow genuine third party recommendations of businesses and services in the DR.
6. While advertisers may answer questions about their business, excessive repeat posts of the same nature will be considered spam and deleted.
7. If you are not sure of anything, feel free to ask the moderator first via a private mail.
8. Treat others how you wish to be treated yourself. Show respect to others and you will be respected.
9. Keep to the Dominican Republic and living in the Dominican Republic. No-one really wants to know how you do it in other countries.
10. Absolutely don't post when you have had way too much to drink. It never works out well.
11. While these guidelines cover most common situations, we cannot anticipate everything. We reserve the right to change our minds about anything to ensure that these forums are not disrupted or abused in any way.
12. And finally, don't ever take it personally. It is only a board and not life and death.

Happy posting!

Unless you are an advertiser.
Maybe someone should tell them?

Is there a way to make it mandatory that people have at least CLICKED on this thread before being allowed to post in the forum. I'm not saying that you want to test their comprehension (although...then again but I noticed that the traffic on this VERY helpful thread should be higher. I myself didn't read it until tonight thinking "Oh I must have read that before" and went on about my reading of threads and posting (sorry.)

Great addition.
