A Few Reminders About Our Guidelines for Posting

[BethR]

Hi All!

I was able to spend a little bit of time reading the board this afternoon and it looks like we need to refresh our knowledge of the DIS Guidelines for Posting .

A couple that stand out to me today is the one that reads:

6. STAYING ON TOPIC: The boards are named to reflect general topics. Please refrain from asking questions about park hours on the DVC board, or questions about the Caribbean Beach on the Trip Reports board.

Although we are not super strict on the Budget Board about non-topic discussions, I would really prefer to stay away from starting threads that inevitably will turn into debates.

Also, I think we need to be reminded about this Guideline:

5. ADVERTISING: The only commercial advertising permitted on these boards, are those that are contracted through the site. Any posts that are deemed as advertising for a commercial interest will be deleted. Commercial advertising is considered to be any individual posting for the purpose of promoting a for profit organization not directly affiliated with the DIS. Visitors are free to share their experiences with various companies, but anything considered advertising will be deleted and the user will lose posting privileges without discussion.

Remember, this also refers to promoting oneself as well. If what you post allows to to gain personally, it is not permitted.

If you have any questions on any of the Guidelines, feel free to ask.

Beth
