The Our Dolls Board Guidelines
1. Please try to keep all OT (off topic) posts to a minimum. You can make some, but this mainly an Our Dolls/Other Dolls board, so please try to keep that in mind.
2. Please do not post your For Sale threads on the board. Like with the other rule, this is mainly an Our Dolls/Other Dolls board, not a selling place. There are other message boards you can join if you want to sell things. ETA: This also includes posting websites that are purely for selling things.
3. Please do not double-post. In other words, this means do not make two or three (or more) consecutive (in a row) posts. There is a "Modify" button up on the right side of your original post that you can modify your post instead of making a new one. Guests: Since you can't modify your posts, it's perfectly alright for you to double-post...just try not to do it on purpose!
4. Please do not bump up old threads or, in other words, make posts in threads that are over two months old. Some old threads are okay to bump up...but as for ones that just have one or two replies, or that have already been resolved (i.e. asking for name ideas for a new doll) please leave these.
5. No underage members. At all. Underage means 12 and under. Proboards has rules about this, they aren't our rules. Our board can be deleted if we are found to have under age 13 members. And we definitely don't want that to happen! You are welcome to post as a guest until you are 13. We have several wonderful guest members who are doing this.
ON POLITICS, RELIGION, AND OTHER SENSITIVE TOPICS:
Discussion of religion is limited to ONLY areas which apply within the realm of ourdolls.net.
This means...
Nativities are O.K. at Christmas
A Bible verse here or there is O.K.
On the other hand...
Quoting large amounts of the Bible or any other religious book is respectfully prohibited.
The discussion of real-world politics of any form, whether discussing current and past leaders of any country, state, or city are prohibited. No exceptions.
The discussion of any other sensitive topics...this includes but is not limited to Abortion and LGBT communities or people is ABSOLUTELY prohibited.
To clarify, these rules are not in place to hinder your right of free speech, but simply to create a comfortable enviroment where girls should not feel the need to defend their beliefs.
Thank you for following these guidelines.
