Good morning all!!
First I would like to thank you on behalf of the entire staff at M&F for your warm welcomes to the new moderators yesterday. Our moderator staff has dwindled so much in the past 6 months, that Lena, Cotties and I have been drained of all energy to actually perform our duties. Now with the added staff, the energy levels have already increased, and new ideas are rapidly being discussed. I'm very excited about these new staff members, and what the future holds for M&F.
One of the first items we have asked the new moderators to focus on are the images being posted on the site. All images used are to be governed by the Avatar Rules; however we have been quite lax in the past few months and let many, many, many slide by. I know, I know...Barkiss is taking away the fun again, and his God complex is going too far. Believe me...the last thing I want to do is spend all day reviewing posts to ensure all rules are being followed; however our job is to protect Penny's interests. We would be doing a disservice to Penny and to you if for some silly reason we were to be fined by the Internet Gods. With this in mind, I ask each of you to review any images you post onto the website to ensure they follow the same rules that apply to avatars, specifically keeping them PG-13. These rules apply even if action in the picture is simulated but not actually occuring, or if the perception of the picture breaks a rule, regardless of it's true nature. I have included the Avatar Rules below for reference.
We have also noticed a small increase in the number of automated banner ads being added to people's posts when using outside images, such as emoticons. These automated banner ads are not allowed for multiple reasons...1. they do not pay for advertising on this site, and 2. the links could lead to harmful sites for our members. Please be aware of them, and if you see it, remove it immediately and stop using that site. We will have no choice but to remove all posts with these banner ads in the future.
Thank you all in advance for your assistance and continued support. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me and I'll do my best to answer any questions. Otherwise...
Happy Posting!!
