MEDIADOMAIN Discussion Group Guidelines:
- Topics can be created by anyone.
- Topics must be relevant to the forum.
- Anyone can reply or leave a message to a topic.
- The number of topics are cut to 100 or 80 topics each morning. This
is an automatic (computer) process of editing, where the older "topics" are
deleted each
day. Any message posted on a topic that has been deleted is also removed (even
if the message was posted the same day). Topics are cut to 100 or 80
every morning, the period of time a topic remains on the board, depends on
how many new posts there are during the day. We STRONGLY recommend that
posters try not to duplicate topics during the day.
- Please refrain from using ALL CAPS, It is difficult to read and rude.
- Use of rude or vulgar language is forbidden.
- Flamming of posters, fighting and bad attitudes will not be tolerated.
