NGC Guidelines

[cpm9ball]

One day last week when I entered the NGC Chat Boards, it opened to a page outlining the rules, disclaimers, etc. for participation on these boards. Did anyone else have this happen? Or, were the moderators trying to politely suggest that I might want to read the guidelines more carefully?

 

Okay, so I read them carefully even though I'll have to admit that I get bored very quickly whenever I read anything that vaguely resembles a contract containing all sorts of legal clauses, "parties of the first part", "parties of the second part", disclaimers, etc.

 

However, there was one item that caught my attention. It refers to the use of certain characters in order to "get around" the use of improper, obscene, vulgar or abusive language that would normally be "bleeped". For example, using the @ or $ in place of certain letters so that a vulgar (implied) word will post.

 

Yes, I have been guilty of this in the past. So, please accept my apology. I will refrain from doing this in the future.

I do it too but probabaly noy as often as you do ... I have not gotten that subtle message from them

[Schatzy]

I have never gotten that message either.

I've never gotten that message, but I have seen those before. I think most of us do it, especially for somewhat ridiculous things like the donkey and elephant party.

I guess it was intended for me after all, but I'm not hurt by it. I have to give NGC & the mods a lot of credit. It is very rare that they impose their authority over our topics of discussion.

it is better to be given a little thoughtful hint then just to be banned

 

ngc i think cares about the collectors on the forums and wants to make every effort to give a second chance by trying to gently advise what is proper and not proper on the public forums

Hey Chris,

 

Not sure why you saw that page but it wasn't our doing. Though it makes me think that might be a good feature for us mods to have

I agree! It's not a bad way to "gently" remind some of us about our protocol.

I think I weigh too much to do that.
