I am one of those weirdos that actually read rules . Not just that, I think a sitey’s constitution/rule-book is one of the basic parameters to judge it. This was one of the first threads that I had read on the site!

I like the ones (rules/guidelines) above, reasonable and briefly-effectively conveyed.

One question,

Posts that have not been active for more than thirty days (unless otherwise stated) may be removed from the boards if necessary.
-Why so? [In any case I’m glad to read that original works wouldn’t be deleted. ]

Sorry for the long delay in answering you. That statement has been added to the Honor Code in case there is a need to delete any posts to free up storage space. We will do our best to not delete anything for the sake of saving bandwidth. If that should ever become an issue we are willing to upgrade to the next level, but at some point we may need to consider removing frivolous posts that no longer are of any importance.

An example of this would be the topic I posted last night that informed members that we were down. There was no need for it to remain on the boards taking up space, so it was removed.

You can be assured that no topics in the writing forums will ever be removed unless they go against the site rules of course.

OMG! THANK GOD!

Pam, that rule, well your explanation of it rather (for I didn't really understand the rule at first myself) makes me happy.

I believe i suggested something like that at wordparade during their band width crises, and what I recieved in return was embitterment on the part of those I asked.

I'm glad this new collection of admins are not only promising, this site seems promising as well.

If I had to rate this site in comparison to the others I've been on, well here goes...


On A Scale of 1-15

Wordparade = 7-10ish before I knew it, then lowered to 3-4ish

Quoteland = 10-15ish, then 8-11ish, and a continued pattern of disappointment.

WordDistilley = 12 with much room to grow and the looks of a continual rise of my appreciation of the site.
