vpFREE Policies and Posting Guidelines
http://usma1955.com/20228/V/POL.htm
The vpFREE Video Poker Group is a free internet forum for the
discussion and exchange of information about video poker and video
poker related topics. vpFREE is dedicated to sharing, promoting and
preserving good video poker situations that can survive and prosper in
an open market environment.
1. Every vpFREE member is expected to observe and practice the vpFREE
Posting Guidelines and the rules of Netiquette.
2. Every vpFREE member is expected to report inventory changes to
vpFREE2 and/or the vpFREE forums, unless they believe it's better not
to publicize the games either for their own benefit or for the video
poker community as a whole.
3. vpFREE is semi-moderated, which means that established members
aren't normally moderated, but individual members can be moderated for
cause. All new members are moderated, to help prevent spam messages,
until they have made a legitimate post.
4. The preferred method for marketing products and services on vpFREE
is an unobtrusive link underneath the signature at the end of a post.
In addition, a member may make a maximum of one vp-related promotional
post in any 6 month period.
5. Every vpFREE member should agree with the vpFREE Terms of Service:

6. vpFREE is, and will always remain, a non-profit operation. Neither
vpFREE nor the vpFREE Administrator has any financial interest, direct
or indirect, in any commercial video poker related product or
endeavor.
7. The vpFREE Administrator makes, interprets and enforces the rules
and policies for vpFREE.
8. Everyone should read and be familiar with the vpFREE FAQ before
posting messages on vpFREE Forums.
9. Every message's subject line should accurately identify the content
of the message, to facilitate faster navigation by interested or
uninterested members.
10. If you reply to a message and change the subject matter, either
start a new thread (preferable) with a new subject line or rename the
subject line to reflect its new focus.
11. When replying to messages, quote just enough of the previous post
to maintain continuity. Delete the rest of the previous post.
12. When replying to messages, clearly differentiate the previous
message(s) from your comments, so that it will be easy to identify who
wrote what.
13. Never post lengthy copyrighted material verbatim without
permission. This includes posts from non-vpFREE internet forums.
Instead, post a link to the material and/or a summary. Short, credited
excerpts may be quoted.
14. Don't use any vpFREE member's real name, even their first name, on
the vpFREE forum unless they themselves use their real name there.
15. Casino personnel probably monitor vpFREE Groups so posts
containing sensitive information should take this into consideration.
16. Any post that disagrees with vpFREE Dogma and reaches
contradictory conclusions, should be supported with significant,
persuasive documentation. Generalizations and limited anecdotal
evidence aren't persuasive.
17. Most vpFREE members rely on the forum for accurate information,
and may misunderstand, misinterpret or be confused by tongue-in-cheek
posts which are presented as fact. Always make it very clear in your
posts if they are tongue-in-cheek, by using "smilies", stating that
you're kidding or something similar.
18. If you have Yahoo administrative problems, send a private email to
the Administrator.
19. Let the Administrator do the administrating. Send any comments,
questions, suggestions or disagreements about vpFREE policies or
procedures to the Administrator via private email.
