Welcome New Members and Posting Rules

[mslemon]

Welcome New Members             
                                                             
We're glad to see you. We decided a forum would be a wise supplement to Archive X's long online history. We get requests to contact authors and questions and comments on stories. Many of these requests we can't help with, so we thought a forum might be a better way to handle those concerns.

So feel free to post your thoughts or questions on something you've read on Archive X or offer help if you can.

Once you join, you may begin posting as soon as you've confirmed your registration, however, your first 5 posts will be moderated.

You will also see and be able to post to 5 additional forums:

• EVP - Electronic Voice Phenomena
• Photographs and Video Footage
• TV - Movies - Radio - News
• Haunted Places
• Just Normal - non-paranormal discussion

After 50 posts, you may upload a custom avatar (120x120) and
have a signature. You may add attachments to posts (5 meg of space)

Here is another good post to help you with our forum.

If you'd like to support Archive X by becoming a Supporting Member, we have a donation button that appears in the navigation bar once you become a member.

Supporting Members receive more board benefits.
They may:

• add attachments to posts (10 meg of space)
• store more PMs (from 10 total for general membership to 50)
• email members
• upload a profile picture
• use a custom avatar (140x140)
• use signature images
• post events to the calendar

They also have access to an additional forum:

• Supporting Members Only - a place for Supporting Members to discuss anything

Come on in and rattle a few chains with us.

To keep our growing board as sp*m-free and as friendly as possible, please adhere  to these rules for posting:

• We enjoy, encourage, and support a variety of viewpoints, provided they are presented in a polite manner. Insults, threats and just plain rudeness won't be tolerated.
• Admin reserves the right to edit any post for inappropriate content.
• Please do not copy and paste entire articles from other sites unless you have explicit written permission that accompanies the article you post. Be mindful of copyright policies for other people's work. You may choose a sentence or two from the article to share, or write a summary of the article. You may also provide a link to the article or state the title so others can search for the article.
• Links to other sites are permitted, however, in the spirit of nice netiquette, follow these guidelines when linking:

• ⁃ Joining just to post links to your site is inappropriate and the link(s) will be removed. A link to your site is more suitable in a signature and signatures are permitted after 50 posts. (In other words, if you join and make a post with a link to your site, don't expect the link to remain.)

• ⁃ Links to public repository type sites are generally permitted provided the subject matter is appropriate. These would include sites such as youtube, photobucket, and the like.

To report a post to the moderators or admin, click the red caution triangle to the left of the post you are concerned about. You'll be taken to a screen where you can send a message to the moderator and admin about the post in question, and they will take appropriate action.

Admin also reserves the right to modify these rules as necessary.

In a nutshell, respect your fellow posters and the mods and admin, so everyone can enjoy their time here.

At the discretion of the Administrators and Moderators but as a general rule:

Harassing other members will not be tolerated.

1st time a warning PM will be sent.

2nd time an Infraction will be given.

3rd time Banned.

At no point do the Administrators or Moderators have to justify their reasoning to members for warnings or such that was given.
