Hey guys,
The Community Board offers us a corner on the Internet where we can come together and share information, bolster each other up during these times, and just communicate while we practice social distance in real life. Even though the majority of us are anonymous, we've come to know each other, so while many of us have account names that we don't use in our day-to-day lives, we recognize fellow posters by our past posts, reactions to others, and how we respond to topics, etc. Personally, I don't know any other forum that allows such a wide-array of responses and insightful discussion. That's why so many of us stay here.
Most of us know the rules. They are pretty straight - basically, be respectful of each other, keep away from politics/religion, and don't take advantage of these forums to further your own agenda/business, etc.
Please don't get around the guidelines. If you feel that you just have to make your point and that point is going to eventually cause a thread to be closed, please don't hit that enter button to post it here. Post on Reddit or someplace else, or walk away from the keyboard or put that person you can't agree with on ignore until you cool down.
If you see a post that ignores the guidelines, please report it right away so we can clean up the thread. The more pages there are with posts that reference politics, are sarcastic, are attacking in nature, the more likely we'll just shut it down, which deprives the rest of the community from continuing to carry on some pretty good discussions.
This is going to be a year with a LOT of discussion. Please help us keep this a family-friendly community.
Thanks,
Webmaster Mary Jo
