A few rules for posting at Glued to the Screen:
1. Please use correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar. This is a forum designed for intelligent discussion, not a chat room.
2. We actively encourage intelligent criticism and debate here. However, personal attacks against staff and other members will not be tolerated. Likewise, sexist, racist, ablest, homophobic, or otherwise bigoted language and statements will not be tolerated, either. We want this to be a safe, friendly board for everyone.
3. Try to keep threads on-topic. I know that threads sometimes inadvertently go off in other directions, and that's okay, but intentionally derailing a thread is unacceptable.
4. The PM system is for discussing private topics between two members. It is not for spamming or bullying other members. You will automatically be banned if you are caught doing this.
5. Trolling will not be tolerated! If you come here just for the purpose of bullying and harassing members, you will automatically get banned.
6. If you get banned, please don't try to return here under a different username. I can see your IP address, so sock-puppetry won't get you very far here.
7. Please don't steal any images or text that is posted here. If you see something here that you would like to use, please ask the owner of the image or text for permission.
8. No hotlinking, period. When posting images in threads, please use a free image host, such as Postimage. (This one doesn't require registration.)
9. Please avoid typing your whole post in All Caps. That is the Internet equivalent of shouting, and there is no need to shout here.
10. Please stick to one username. When you change your username all the time, it can confuse and distract other members, who may have gotten used to calling you by another name. If you absolutely must change your name for whatever reason, please ask a Staff member for permission first.
13. Do not link to mobile versions of websites. Most of us are on desktops and laptops, and that is the way the site is meant to be used.
If you have any questions or problems, please contact me or any other Staff Member here at the forum. We'll all be happy to help you out.

11. If you join the site and go one month without making your first post, your account will be terminated. We have no members-only subforums, so there's no point in registering if you're only going to lurk. Only register if you're actually going to join in discussions and contribute to the site.
12. If you get a PM from a Staff Member (Betty, Tim, Jana or Adam), you answer it. Repeated failure to do so can result in suspension, even expulsion, from the board.
