I haven't officially heard anything about what rules should / should not be implemented, so we'll use the same guidelines that some of the other forums use.
#1. Don't write typical swear words in the thread title. I've heard elsewhere that this is a GT rule, so we have to go with it. Swearing in the thread itself is Okie-Dokie, but we have to just keep it in the thread itself. I'll work on having the dirty words show up instead of a bunch of asterisks. Asterisks are gay.
#2. What is said in Skunk Works, stays in Skunk Works
#3. Talk about whatever topics ya'll want. There is nothing that really is off-topic here, but try your best to keep it civil. I sometimes fail in this regard and will try not to hold it against you if a line happens to be crossed sometime in the future, but please use your own discretion.
#4. Anyone who is a paid member is allowed access to this forum, whether the collective likes them or not. If there is someone who is not part of the group already, they may either already have been invited and declined to join, or they haven't responded yet. The social groups are the best part, IMO, of the paid membership, and if you've paid, you should get access to at least one group. Please let me know if I've missed someone that your aware of and an invite will be sent out poste-haste.
#5. Any suggestions, complains, etc. can be addressed through either myself (I think) or a moderator. I noticed that I am apparently the moderator for this group by default, because I created it, but all other GT mod's are also members here. I will however go out of my way to try and help in whatever capacity I can.
#6. Bring your thick skin. Sometimes I get a little crazy with the profanity, and while I don't think anyone in the GT collective would intentionally go out of their way to offend someone, there will be things said that you may not agree with. If this is the case, please choose to either not participate or ignore whomever it is.
#7. No nudity - Again, another GT rule. I'm kind of under the impression as of right now that we are allowed to post scantily clad pictures, but nothing with either nip or bush. I don't believe we are allowed to blur the good parts out either. For now, lets just go swim suit or more until I'm told one way or another what's acceptable / not acceptable.
#8. I'm not aware of any GT rule against cross posting, so if you want to discuss something here and elsewhere on GT, feel free to start another thread in here in addition to the public posting.
#9. Please try to limit talking about the happenings and going ons of the other social groups here, out of respect for the people in that group. If there is something that isn't pertinent to that group specifically that you would like to make everyone here aware of, by all means feel free, but there should be some degree of group privacy that everyone can and should expect.
#10. If you'd like something stickied, just let me know.
I'm sure I'm forgetting some, but If anyone else has any recommendations, please let me know. I'll be sure to update this as the group progresses.
I'm pretty new at this whole "moderation" thing, so go easy on me. There are some options that I don't know what they do, so I might screw around and try to figure things out here in the next short while. Bear with me while I find out what some of these things are. I'm a slow learner and it might take awhile. :)
And most of all, enjoy yourselves.
