Attention all GH members: some reminders

Post by greeneyed »

As the season gets underway, it is timely to give some gentle reminders on using the site...

# Read The Greenhouse Guidelines! If you've read them before, and a long time ago... do it again!

http://www.thegh.com.au/forum/viewtopic ... 11&t=10740

# If you are including a post or article from another site, please include the URL link to the original source at the bottom of the article or post. And if you are making a post about something controversial, in particular, back it up with a published source and a URL link.

# Please have a look at whether a new thread is needed when making a new post. Would your comment fit neatly under an existing thread? For example, if you are posting preview articles on the game coming up... put them in the weekly "Teams and Previews" thread! Don't start a new one.

# Please don't unnecessarily use the quote function. For example, quoting five sets of quotes... just drives people nuts! In addition, many posters are proving completely incompetent at doing it! If it is obvious another poster has stuffed it up, don't go and quote their post again! For those of you who are amongst the completely incompetent... here's a tutorial! Learn how to do it! It is actually pretty simple...

# We have a filter for bad language for a reason! Don't attempt to get around it! We don't want swearing on the site. That is, to spell it out... don't put a first and last letter... and a couple of asterisks in the middle. We have a reason. It is because use of bad language has generally been associated with over the top criticism of players and others involved in the club, and it has been associated with over the top criticism of other posters on the site. Please don't do it.
