A forum for Admins - the place for posting announcements for forum members like rules, important notices, warnings etc.http://www.rocksaltjournals.com/forum/list.php?1Tue, 07 Sep 2010 07:10:43 +0200 Phorum 5.2.10 http://www.rocksaltjournals.com/forum/read.php?1,3202,3202#msg-3202 http://www.rocksaltjournals.com/forum/read.php?1,3202,3202#msg-3202IMPORTANT NOTICE:

The whole forum might be available only for Admins on and off due to the changes that have been planned. Don't panic if you don't manage to load the page. It will mean you came just in the time when the maintenance work is being held. Try checking back later. You might find new things in the forum. [005]

Thanks for your understanding. You'd better understand. Or I might salt and burn ya.

We apologize that the FAQ is currently under construction. If you see your question with no answer at the moment, please feel free to PM our Webmistress for help. If you do not see your question listed, or did not find the answer in a Search of the Forum, FAQ, Rules, and Announcements, please post it here.]]> Admin AnnouncementsTue, 28 Oct 2008 09:17:37 +0100 http://www.rocksaltjournals.com/forum/read.php?1,22,22#msg-22 http://www.rocksaltjournals.com/forum/read.php?1,22,22#msg-22

READ THE RULES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS BEFORE YOU START POSTING. KEEP YOURSELF UP-TO-DATE BY READING ALL NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS (there won't be many) AND READ FAQ (you could find your answer there) BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO SEND ANY QUESTION TO ADMINS OR MODS.

The forum has no rating but any post that might contain anything rated R or NC-17 must be visibly labeled at the top of the post with several line breaks between the rating and the content so anyone who doesn't want to see such content isn't forced to. Our Mods/Admins have the right to edit/remove anything we find overly offensive. We may send a warning PM first, so if you receive a PM from a Mod or Admin regarding your behavior, HEED THE WARNING. There may not be a 2nd one.

There will be minimal filtering as for language but as we want even the minor members to feel welcome here, tone it down. Excessive use or abuse of foul language will result in temporary or permanent ban. The same for excessive by-passing of the blacklisted words. The same goes for avatars. You can upload three of them (100x100, max. size 40kB per avatar) and as long as it's not vulgar, obscene, disgusting... (you catch the drift), you may use it. Sexy is good, erotic might be already a little overboard but obscene, offensive... is your one-way ticket to Hell.

The number of rules will be kept at the minimum (we don't want to throw loads of non-sense rules at you) but the few rules we'll have will be enforced strictly without any exceptions.

The forum is SPOILER-FREE except for Spoiler Forum. Read THIS post for information on Spoilers. And THIS post for how to use the Spoiler Vision tag on this forum.

Who's Hotter Polls and threads will be removed from the forum. Period. We all know Dean's the hot one and Sam's the smart one. (Just ask Dean. He'll tell you.)

Wincest is strictly NOT permitted on this forum. Slash of any kind is also NOT permitted. There are other sites that welcome this, many on Livejournal. Please go there if you feel the need to post this type of content.

Pairing the Winchesters (or Jensen and Jared) with anyone under 18 is NOT permitted (in posts, fanfics, images, etc).

(I will concede this one to Kripke, but the Rule remains. NO DISCUSSION of Sam/Ruby is allowed here. Like her/hate her/be indifferent to her, I don't care. You simply may not discuss "that" here. ~Mattie)

Castiel-Haters and Castiel-Lovers are both welcome on this board. Bashing of either group is NOT permitted on this forum. Debates are welcome. Arguments are not.

Act like a troll, expect to be treated like a troll (and banned).

Act like a smartass, you'll be treated like one.

Show up with an attitude, don't expect a warm reception (in Coyote Fugly or anywhere else on the forum).

Show Courtesy to this board, the Winchesters and fellow board members and you will be treated with Courtesy in return.

Avatars
We currently allow users to upload up to three avatars, maximum size 100x100 pixels, 40KB per avatar. This is subject to change if space becomes an issue.

Signatures
Users are permitted ONE image in their signature, maximum size 550x200 pixels (our thumbnail module will force it to this size if it's larger). Please see our FAQ for information on centering your signature image.

Images
Images in posts are allowed as long as they follow our rules (nothing obscene, no wincest, etc). We have limited all image sizes to 550px wide by 200px high. Any image larger than this will be in a "thumbnail" to save space on the forum pages and (ideally) help the pages load more quickly. Thumbnails will be "clickable" to view the full size image.

Privacy Policy
The RockSaltJournals.com Privacy Policy can be found here. Updates to our Rules and Privacy Policy may be changed at any time, without notice. Please read and follow all Rules and Announcements. If you have any questions, please contact us using the Contact link located at the bottom of the page or PM one of our Administrators or Mods.

Quoting (added: 19-01-10)
Please try not to leave a long quote trail in posts. The forum doesn't automatically delete quotes like CW so we found out that it bogs down our database and the text gets smaller and smaller. You can clean up quotes by removing [quote] [/quote ]
Having trouble with breaking quotes? If you're highlighting and deleting only part of a quote, make sure that you don't accidentally delete the brackets: [ ]

Text Colors (added: 19-01-10)
By special request from our Webmistress, please be courteous with your use of colored text. 1. Dark text on our dark background is extremely difficult to read. If we have to highlight it in order to read it, it's too dark! 2. We've discovered that some members read our forum using their cell phones, so customized colors are also difficult or impossible to read. By using the forums default colors, everyone should be able to read and enjoy the forum. We're not asking you not to use custom colors, just that you be considerate and use colors in moderation. Thank you.

The Complaint Department (added: 19-01-10)
Please read the First Post and THIS post before posting in the Complaint Department. The Complaint thread is provided as a courtesy and is a Privilege, not a Right. We ask our members not to take advantage of it, or use it as an excuse to "come up with" complaints just to post. That was not the intended purpose of the thread. If you have a question, please PM our Webmistress Mattie (NOT Dean) regarding the Complaint thread.
