Crystal Lake Message Board
Welcome to my message board. This message forum serves the people of Crystal Lake and surrounding communities.
There is a list of rules that must be followed as on any other message forum. Any person(s) may view the contents of this forum. In order to use the post and reply features, you must register for a username and password. IT IS FREE TO REGISTER. To register, click on the 'register' icon on the main page or click here: Register, then fill out the required fields. A valid e-mail address is required, Yahoo, Aol, Hotmail, etc. If you want to keep your e-mail address private, click the box where it says 'hide e-mail address'. Please make sure you enter a valid e-mail address, since your Activation Code will be e-mailed to you.
I will adhere to my rules and have the right to change them at time which notification will be given.
Rules you need to know:
All threads must be in ENGLISH
If post(s) are in any other language they will be deleted.
Always keep yourself safe
Please do not give out any personal information that could direct someone to your exact where you work or live.
Single Accounts Only
Users are strongly discouraged from registering more than one account. Think of it this way: you may have established a good online relationship with a few members, differing in personality, only to find they are all the same person. It can be very unnerving and off-putting. Wouldn’t it be better to establish yourself with one name that people will come to know and respect? I will delete users that sign up with the same exact e-mail address. The most current username will remain active. If for some reason you need to sign up for more than one account using the same e-mail address, please notify the forum administrator with an explanation.
Posting and commenting on news articles
Due to copy right laws, if at all possible, include the URL of the Original Source of the article and the Author. This is a Requirement. Any articles not meeting the requirements will be erased.
Keep your post in the respected categories.
Treat Others with Respect
You are expected to treat all members with respect. Everyone has the right to their own opinion. One thing that we all must realize, people do make grammar and spelling mistakes. We do not tolerate any mockery of any kind. Be respectful.
Bad Language
Please refrain from the use of bad language in any form be it profanity, racial, ethnic or sexual insults. This site is a friendly place and, along with its users, I do not want it to become littered with bad language.
Should this occur, you will be sent a warning. Persistent use of bad language will result in your account being banned.
Links and Photographs
You may provide links to other sites and your own avatar photos may be uploaded on this board. However, it is expected that you will not link to unsolicited sites or upload unsavory photographs.
Anyone posting porn pictures or links of any kind will result in your account being banned.
Advertising
I do not allow business promotions of any kind unless if you ask for my permission first.
Spamming and Flooding
Do not, under any circumstance, Spam or flood the boards. It will result in an immediate ban.
Disruptive Behavior
Continuous mockery to post will result in a ban.
Deletion of Posts
Moderators and administrators have the right to delete posts not adhering to any of the above guidelines. Should this happen to you, please do not express your grievances on the board, instead you must discuss this via PM or E-mail with the moderator/administrator in question. Otherwise, take the good with the bad.
Special Note: I do not want to suspend anyone's account. Please be fair with others and be respectful. I want this this to be a friendly place for people to visit.
