Reminder &
Clarification of Double Posting Policy & New Forum Area Since we have a lot of non-discussion topics where people post quotes, words, lyrics, etc., we have created a new forum area specifically for those type of posts. Currently it is called: http://www.caribbeanchoice.com/forums/forum_topics.asp?FID=76 - Jokes, Quotes, Poems, Lyrics, Games & More Mostly non-discussion posts where people post a series of posts in a row. (We may change the title later.) Clarification of rules:
Many people subscribe to the forums via e-mail or RSS, and cannot follow the discussions because they are flooded with Word Association Game, Lyrics, Poems and Jokes posts. To help people subscribe only to the items they want to see, we are separating discussion topics from non-discussion topics. Hopefully this will help keep discussions alive, while allowing people to post to the games, lyrics, quotes and other similar threads. Thank you for understanding.  ------------- Scott M.

Clarification of Double Posting Policy To clarify, double posting HAS ALWAYS BEEN PROHIBITED. The double posting rule is actually NOT new. Please see the forum rules for details. ------------- Scott M. Stolz CaribbeanChoice.com. Inc.

Further Clarification of Forum Rules These are NOT rule changes!!! Double Posting (posting twice or more in a row in the same topic) is PROHIBITED in all forum areas EXCEPT in forum_topics.asp?FID=76 - the above mentioned forum area . This means you are not allowed to break your post into more than one piece so you can increase your post count or votes for your island. Double posting has been prohibited since September 1, 2003. This is not new. In fact we are actually giving you an exception now. DO NOT turn a discussion into a non-discussion
by repeatedly posting quotes or comments to a topic that started off as
a discussion. If the topic started off as a discussion, then discuss
it. Posting multiple quotes or comments in a row as separate posts is
not considered discussing a topic. This falls under the rule that requires you to keep topics ON TOPIC. It also falls under the rule prohibiting spamming. Again, these rules have existed since September 1, 2003. So there actually are no new rules here. Just a clarification of existing rules. ------------- Scott M. Stolz CaribbeanChoice.com. Inc.
