Hello everyone!
To keep the board clean and tidy and to make things a little easier for us mods and your own navigation can you please take a moment to refresh your memories with the following things we ask of you when posting around the board.
* Descriptive titles when creating threads
Please make your thread titles as descriptive as possible. For example "Saw this on TV" is not acceptable, please instead use something such as "Michael Jackson was voted number 1 artist of all time on UK TV". Saves opening every thread to see what it's about.
* Tags
Please tag all new threads that you create. It is very difficult for a member to find things sometimes. By tagging your thread it will make the keywords more readily searchable and it will help with the duplication of threads.
* Posting links
When posting links please provide a brief description of what it is when either starting a thread or just posting one.
* Respect
Please show each other respect at all times. Rudeness is not necessary, nor will it be tolerated. Agree to disagree and move on. Use the report function when necessary. That does not mean that a thread cannot be used to debate a topic. But a nasty argument is not needed. Once it resorts to belittling or namecalling it is a no, no.
* Board searches
Before starting a thread, if you think it may have been posted before please do a quick board search to save creating multiple threads on the same topic.
* Different board sections
Please take a moment to look at the forum descriptions again, and ensure when creating a new thread that you do so in the correct section of the board. Main problems with this seem to be the difference between:
* Use the PM feature
Please do not use threads around the board for personal conversations. Within reason it is ok, but keep in mind keeping on topic of the thread for the most part.
* Banned members
Reasons for banning are not disclosed by staff, with respect to all parties involved. Nor is this a topic up for discussion publicly on the board.
*Embedding video's or posting pictures
Please take a moment to consider whether embedded video stills or photo's that you're posting will not upset other members of the board. If you think this might be the case, please only post the link, and a warning of what the link contains.
* Rules reminder regarding pictures of the children
Only authorised pictures of the children are allowed to be posted here at MJJC. For example public appearances and pictures they release are fine, paparazzi pictures are not.
* Keeping on topic
Increasingly threads are being derailed off the original topic they were created for. If there is an existing thread open for what is being discussed please take it there, or by all means create a new one.
Thank you for taking the time to read this! Lets keep our home tidy!

- Michael Jackson news and happenings and Michaelmania - if it's not new or happening (lol) then it belongs in Michaelmania.Some exceptions may be delegated to news by staff
- Help and Information centre - if you have a question regarding the board or a technical problem, please find your answer there or ask any questions there.
