Don't expect new members to have a "magic ball" to know the rules of this site , you need to create a starter list of basic rules and common mistakes ,do's and do not's and email it to every new member and current members from time to time as a "refresher" made so we new guys don't brake any rules unknowing , something your doing wrong and thought it was a normal course of site activity ...... :Wink2:

Rule # 1

Rule # 2

Rule # 3
Don't say anything that you wouldn't say to your Momma <scratch that> neighbor.
  Cause Momma will wash your mouth out with soap. :Phil:  


Aside from that, what's seems to be the problem?

John, the rules Fred listed are about the only hard and fast ones, but there's an infinite list of do's and don'ts that have to do with basic interaction on an online forum. A quick Google of 'forum etiquette' will reveal most of them.

Please don't be offended when someone points stuff out to you, they're most likely trying to help, not give you a hard time. :thumbsup:

In addition to the stuff Fred referred to, we've been meaning to come up with a customized list of our own of forum etiquette, but the list of forum "to-do's" stretches out over the horizon in a seemingly endless list. :panic: We'll get to it some day. :roll:
