Some of you know that Christopher Moore is my favorite living author. If you haven't read his stuff, read one of his books and thank me later. I do frequent his website, though, and thought I'd post their forum rules here. Recently there have been spats on several gardening sites, and these are so nice and concise, they might be helpful. ;D
And before you Northerners get mad, the Canadian thing in the rules is a JOKE, because the original members included a lot of Canadians. There's a running, good natured theme of us versus them on this site...
THE RULES
Hello and welcome to the Christopher Moore Message Board. We'd like to
thank you for attending and wish you all happy posting. There are,
however, a few rules to be observed and maintained while participating on
this site. Please read them carefully and decide if this is, in fact, the site for
you.
1-For the first three months of joining the CM community, all participants
are required to post naked. Anyone caught posting while dressed in any
way will come to the attention of Tom Ridge, Director of Homeland Security.
No one's really sure how.
2-Chairs are not to be used while visiting the CM website. Instead, stacks
of Chris Moore books should be bought and implemented for this purpose.
The stack should be renewed once every three weeks.
3-We ask that all posts and subsequent responses be hilarious in nature.
If you aren't sure about the level of comedy found within your submission,
please copy it to an email and send it to a friend/lover/Chris/priest/barista
for approval before subjecting other members of the board to it.
4-No Canadians. Americans impersonating Canadians to enhance their
safety abroad are, however, accepted. But we won't refrain from calling
them Hoser Posers .
5-From time to time, Mr. Moore himself will drop in and participate in the
"back and forth" activity on the board. We ask that, when he does, make
no sudden movements and avoid making eye-contact as he may become
skittish or irate. Mr. Moore throwing feces at the computer screen while
screaming "DRIVE THROUGH, YA WANKS! DRIVE THROUGH!" only serves to
slow down the production of books.
6-No one who dates a Canadian.
7-At no point should any disparaging remarks ever be made about "Buffy,
The Vampire Slayer". That suck-ass piece of crap show is worshipped
around here.
8-Please do not express any emotion by the use of descriptive words or
phrases. We offer a full variety of Emoticons for this purpose.
9-No political posts, please. None. Mr. Moore throwing feces at the
computer screen while chanting "FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS!"
only serves to slow down the production of books. (OK, put them in the
Politics section, and Chris will ignore them).
10-No actors.
11 - All the above rules are subject to the discretion of the reader, and may
be ignored completely. Except for rule number 9.
