"Growing Up" RULES [read before posting]

[MooL]

In addition to CB's general rules (http://forums.bleachportal.net/showthread.php?t=8101):

1. Members must use the search tool before making any new topics/threads to avoid creating multiple threads of the same topic.

2. BE MATURE. This is an advice thread as well as a sharing thread. Avoid any use of racial, sexual, or other derogatory terms. Any disrespectful comments will be marked as flames and offenders will be punished accordingly.

3. SPAM is not allowed! This includes one liners, repetitive comments, OFF TOPIC comments (including mini conversations) or blank posts. A lot of members have been restating their opinions--please, just make your point and end it there.

4. All violations in this forum must be reported to the mods and/or admins. Please avoid responding to offenders or asking for a thread to be closed in a post. Your posts may be considered spam as well.

...and the consequences begin as of THIS VERY POST.

I personally have been very lenient in pushing the spam enforcement into play; as some are well aware I have zero tolerence for spam, and when it clutters up the forum I can be perceived as a very pedantic and ruthless assassinator of it, when I decide that enough is enough - this often leads to people getting rather anti about it and throwing around wild accusations that I have no idea how to take things in a relaxed manner.

Quite to the contrary my postings within Growing Up in the last few weeks prove that is not the case, and that whilst I can still easilly Moderate and maintain a fun loving appreciation of a marginal amount of offtopicness, random chatter, and nonsensial posts...it has gone too far now!

This thread is stickied, and as such constitutes a thread of importance on this subforum, thereby, if people neglect to read this thread when it is updated, then far be it for me to include a preliminary warning as to why you will be warned should you not adhere to the rules that MooL has very kindly laid out for you to follow.

Those rules are not difficult, they aren't in any way challenging to comprehend. So from this post onwards I will be re-enforcing my "semi"-zero tolerence for spam attitude on this subforum.

Trust me...if it continues, and I assure you to high heaven you will not like it if I am pushed into doing so; I will enforce a full zero tolerence on spam.

You have been warned. =)
