1. Only post the relevant portions of the articles you wish to discus. Don't just post a link only because we want to stimulate discussion and links only just get ignored by users.

2. If you are going to copy / paste an article for discussion and don't want to pick and choose certain points out of it, then limit your posting to no more than 50% of the source material.

3. Include your own commentary / criticism in the OP along with the article you are copy / pasting. Like why you're posting it, what you think about it, etc..

4. Provide a link back to the original source material.

If these rules are not followed your threads will be deleted...we are sorry this has to happen,but this is what is happening all over the forums and blogs...

be warned also if this action gets to bad against other forums that there will be further changes made and that you may not be given warning about them..I will do everything I can to keep the forum going, even if it means we only go down to a few forum rooms like preps 101 and sewing...

all mods you will need moderate your forums daily to watch for no links and full stories being posted..important ones can be edited to suite the new rules...
