Sorry you feel attacked Morano; but 19 is old enough to speak and write English correctly. Occassional slip ups are to be expected but text or leetspeak is unacceptable. Especially since it is a part of the Terms of Service (TOS) for the site.
Also keep in mind that English is not the first language for many of our memebers. On the off chance you are providing much needed information many people will not understand you.
RBKWP's posts are at best unintelligible. They don't even read like that of a person for whom English is a second or third language. I don't know what he's trying to prove by writing like that but it is most annoying. :irked:
LPSG Terms of Service (Updated 12/2006)
Dear LPSG.org Members,
This forum is dedicated to men and women who are fascinated by, curious about, affected by, or have a large penis. It is our hope to keep this forum free for all, and allow it to flourish as an open online community. To that end, we are announcing the following forum guidelines ("Terms of Service") which apply to the open forum, chat room, private messages between members, and the gallery. Please read them CAREFULLY and abide by them whenever possible. These guidelines are not intended to inhibit anyone, but simply to make things better for us all. If you violate the guidelines, your post may be edited and/or deleted, you may receive a warning, or you could be temporarily or permanently banned from LPSG.org.
Membership- Membership at LPSG is restricted to members who are at least 18 years of age. Membership by individuals under 18 is not allowed. Members who are found to be underage will be banned from the community without warning. Additionally, pretending to be underage is equally unacceptable. LPSG takes its age requirements extremely seriously.
Education- Our initial purpose is to promote knowledge and understanding of sexual issues and their implications in our relationships. We hope you'll ask questions! Feel free to post links to things you've read and would like to discuss, or offer insights from your own experiences. We want to get to know you, but "know it alls" who are abrasive from the onset are generally not well received. Read more than you write until you're here long enough to find your groove.
Fun- This is a community of friends, some of us fairly long term friends, therefore, the mood is often one of flirtatiousness. Feel free to join in the fun, but don't mistake this to mean that everyone is open to sexual advances from strangers. Many members dislike receiving sexual Private Messages (PMs) from people they don't know. Here, as in real life, you need to get to know someone before determining what is and is not appropriate between the two of you. So post for a while and let us get to know you first, okay? We encourage everyone to post in your Profile whether or not you are open to receiving PMs. Members who disregard others' wishes not to be bothered with PMs may be banned. Please respect people's boundaries so we can all have fun here.
Nudity- Due to the age restrictions around membership at LPSG, nudity is not allowed in avatars. Nudity, however, IS allowed in your personal gallery. The reason for this is that the gallery is restricted to members who are least 18 years of age, while any guest may read the forum. Members who upload nude avatars will have those avatars deleted and will receive a PM from the Moderator Team. Any member who repeatedly uploads nude avatars after being warned will be banned without warning.
Gallery and Avatar Content - When you upload a personal avatar or picture into the gallery, you are submitting content to this site. By submitting content to this site, you grant us an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to display the content and represent that you are legally qualified to grant us this license. That is, you are allowing us to maintain that you are of legal age, the content contains only people of legal age, and that, if the content is not of your person, you have the right to submit it here for LPSG to publish. Copyrighted, stolen, or altered content may be deleted from the gallery without warning or discussion. Please note that this also means that we reserve the right to NOT delete your gallery if you choose to abruptly leave LPSG for any reason.
Freedom of Speech- We have a longstanding tradition of freedom of speech of which we are very proud. In order to understand what this means, here is what it is and is not: It IS the right to speak your mind, in the words of your choosing. It is our hope that you will choose your words as carefully as you want members to choose theirs in response. It IS NOT the right to have your words go unchallenged. We respect your RIGHTS, but have no obligation to respect your ideas. If what you post here gets challenged and that seems upsetting to you, you may prefer to just read. In certain sections or while discussing volatile topics, we understand that arguments and heated debate may occur. There comes a point, however, where posters may become extremely abusive to one another. Abusive posts may be met with a post/note by the moderators on the open forum and/or may require moderator intervention. Additionally, language that is consistently racist, sexist and/or homophobic may be considered trolling (see: "Other Moderator Intervention" for more).
Trolling-NOT COVERED UNDER FREEDOM OF SPEECH! A "Troll" is someone who is consistently disruptive or abusive to other members in most of his or her posts (this is not meant to include humor, differences of opinion, or the occasional snarky remark). Trolls will be discussed by the moderating staff, and if agreed upon by a majority, our decision will be final and they will be banned. Spammers and advertisers will be banned without warning and their posts will be deleted.
Accounts- Members here are discouraged from having multiple accounts. We realize that sometimes several members of a family will use the same computer and we encourage that. However, if a member sets up multiple accounts to post from for the purpose of disrupting the board, that will be considered trolling. Members who post from multiple accounts for the purpose of trolling the board will be banned without warning.
Equality- One voice is one vote. Regardless of position, no member here is more important than the next. We have a unique group of people male and female, gay and straight, young and young-at-heart who all enjoy spending time in each other's company and learning together. You are free to be a racist or homophobe if that is what you truly are, but you will likely not make friends.
Language- We try to promote the use of good grammar, therefore we'd prefer that you not use leetspeek or internet shorthand, as in 2 instead of to or too, or shortened words like ur for your. For many of our members, English is not their first language and this makes your posts difficult to understand. Perfection is not required, but common sense is appreciated. Simply try to be mindful of these things in order to keep the posting quality of the forum high. Please make your posts relevant, clear and as concise as possible, so that we all may benefit from LPSG.org. Try to put posts in the most appropriate section, and please, only one place.
Moderation- The board is moderated by a group of volunteer moderators whose ONLY purpose is to help the flow of the board run smoothly, keep underaged members from joining, and keep the site free of spam and advertisements. The Moderators try to ensure that topics find their home in the proper sections (such as moving personal ads from New Member Introductions to the personal ad section, etc.) and that the overall tone of the board remains open and inviting to members. Our purpose is not to placate members whose feelings get hurt or to "see it your way." We're here, like you, to participate in the conversations AS EQUALS and occasionally move a thread or ban a troll. Members are encouraged to use the ignore button for individual posters whom they find annoying.
Your friends at LPSG.
