Scott, the guys are already working on it:
The little pic must be enough for now. You still have 17 to go.... ;D
I'm on my way to bed now, but I told the guys to have everything ready by tomorrow morning. Hope I won't be late by then :).

As far as individual moderating differences, there are visible rules posted
a) in "Welcome" threads at the top of many forums and occasionally
b) on the first post of individual threads.
Most problems have arisen because people were not aware that 'preferences' could, and are sometimes posted in either one or the other of those two locations.

I think the rules should be the same for the entire Bettermost community, and posted in the Bettermost Town Hall forum, where everyone can see them. There can't be rules for each forum, because is utterly confusing and create unecessary problems. If we want to have a peaceful and easy going community, the rules should apply for the whole community. That's my opinion.

Well then we'll just have to agree to disagree.
I don't think the liberal language use found in fan fiction "should apply (in all areas of) the whole community". Nor do I think that an "Image only" rule, as requested in one a the cowboy threads need be applied anywhere else, but, at the same time, I don't want to prevent people who start new threads from askin for, and bein able ta expect such preferences ta be respected.
And then there's the "Safe Haven" forum - yet another special area that needs to be allowed a different set a rules ...

The bottom line rules are the same, Natali, and they are:
1) No personal attacks
2) No frontal nudity
That really is the core of everything. Individual differences for different forums apply specifically to that forum. For example, in fanfic, we have guidelines about what is appropriate for critique of stories, how we hope that authors and readers will interact, etc. I don't consider them rules per se, more of providing a context for common understanding so that we are able to abide by the bottom line rules, as noted above.
I hope that helps.

Yes, don't tell. And don't tell him I have actually missed a bunch of his other movies, including The Patriot, Four Feathers, Brothers Grimm...
