Hello, all. I've been tied up with work and family matters the past couple of days, so I'm just catching up tonight.
I had to remove several posts because members were bickering. Once again, if you read a post that you think is in violation of the rules, don't take it upon yourself to correct the poster. Use the alert function (triangle outlined in red in the top right corner of each post box) so the mods can handle the situation. If you are uncertain whether a post is allowed, pm a mod for clarification. Do not disrupt the thread by arguing back and forth.
In most instances, it is permissible to reference a comment following an MSM article. Do not copy and paste, but use the date and time or post number as a means to direct readers to the comment. It's also good form to include a reminder that the comment is a rumor. BUT...remember to use good judgment. Consider the credibility of the comment. Was the commenter's intent to inform? Or to create controversy? To harm? If either of the latter apply, then leave the comment right where you found it.
Do not mention it here.
Regarding JK's statements about the reward fund, we can discuss them within the context of what was published by MSM. We can question and disagree with his statements respectfully. We cannot use his statements as a reason to bash him.
Good posting requires three main ingredients: common sense, courtesy, and respect.

One more thing to remember -- if you quote another post within your post, and the first post has to be removed by a mod, your post might end up being removed as well.
