Hello All,

I wanted to briefly discuss what UWMBDA council feels is acceptable etiquette on the forums. We ask you to please follow these simple guidlines, and to report any infractions to the moderators.

1) Be Polite
This is the most important guideline. We will not tolerate any abusive, insulting, hostile, or threatening posts about anything or anyone. We will quite swiftly delete any such post and ban the offending user.

2) Keep It Clean
Please keep your profanities in check. We would rather not be forced to implement word filters for every possible naughty word.

3) DON'T SHOUT
Using only all capital letters in your posts is considered extremely rude by every "netiquette" standard we've ever seen. It is akin to shouting at people.

4) Avoid Flames
Every now and then, you may be tempted to add fuel to a heated topic by escalating the anger. Think twice and check yourself.

5) Stay On Topic
Discussions within a forum should pertain to the forum in which they occur. Completely off topic conversations should only occur in the forum designed for that.

6) No Spam
Commercial posts will be deleted, so don't wase your time. However, it is okay to talk about dance lessons and workshops available outside of UWMBDA, so long as those posts occur in the appropriate forum for that specific group. It is never okay to try to sell toner cartriges or vacation packages or long distance calling cards or any other kind of off-topic items whatsoever.


Forum moderators have it within their sole discretion to decide what is a appropriate and what is not, and they will address complaints promptly.

But if you are polite and you stay on topic, you won't have any problems.

Happy Posting!

Brent,

My name is Alexi Moles and I am new to UWMBDA. I am a student at the UW-Whitewater and am interested in joining UWMBDA. I would like to attend the classes/dances in the fall season, but for some reason I am not able to open the new link you just posted to check the fall calender in the "News" section. Is there another link? Could you help me please?!
Thank You!

Alexi Moles

Hi Alexi,
Thanks for noticing that typo. I've corrected the link, so it should point to the Fall dance schedule now. Lessons are still being planned, but the dates are fairly certain.
