Message to newbies of the drugs forum

It great to see so many new memebers sharing experiences and giving advice in the drugs forum, its been quite for a number of months and activity is nice <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

However its worth pointing out a few unsaid rules exsist <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

1) People use these boards primarily for advice, drugs are dangerous, especially without education, if you start posting threads without well thought through arguments, young impressionable people may be led astray, there is no need to tell the regulars how 'good' you consider certain experiences, we've all been there

2) These are public boards, just remember that each and every post could be read by anyone, the mods point out that your deatils can be passed on upon requeat when you join, be careful <IMG SRC="wink.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

3) Write your posts in proper english, it means people can read them without the effort of trying to de-code your messages, punctuation and grammer should be used where relevant, its polite if nothing else.

4) Don't hog threads, if you post something allow others to discuss and reply, the drugs board is not a space for you to advertise your opinions.

5) If people have negative opinions about drugs, it doesn't mean they are wrong, its a good oppotunity for a sensible disscusion not an excuse for you to abuse people.

6) Above all think before you post, this is a great place to be, to help one another and to share things you've done, nobody likes an arsehole and bad blood isn't constructive for anyone <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

I hope I speak for all the regulars on this one and on behalf of everyone I'd again say your all very welcome here <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

    EBB i like most of what you say, but what i dont like is not being able tell other members about good or interesting experiences that we have had .Because there are people that like to reply on those posts and actually had something good to say .Not all of us wants to just give advise all the time, what makes this board different from a drug help line is the fact that we can talk about drugs and nice experiences with out getting told to quit drugs cause theire bad

    Im sorry mate but im not just gonna come here every day just to give advice , ill be glad to give it if asked but it wont stop there. Please dont take this the wrong way
