14. Board Cleaning:
- PlEaSe Do NoT tYpE lIkE tHiS!! It makes it too hard for some people to read and understand. We want everyone to be able to enjoy these boards. If you want this kind of lettering in your screen name, fine. Just not in your posts!
- Please do not type IN ALL CAPS. This can also be a bit difficult to read for some. Also this may come across as shouting. Which there should be no reason to do so.
02. Posting & Topics:
- Please look around before starting a new topic. Just to make sure the topic does not already exist. We don't want multiple threads for one topic. Unless one thread was closed (after reaching 200 replies) and a new thread has been started for that topic.
- Please be sure to post in the correct board. If you are not sure where to post, then read the descriptions of each board.
- Some people like to celebrate a certain post count. That's totally cool with us. Just be sure to do it only every 300 posts. (Examples: 300, 600, 900, 1200, 1500, and so on)
03. Spamming:
- This is simply not allowed here. One of few things these boards simply do not tolerate! Avoid spamming here by keeping at least two sentances in each post. Unless you are taking part in one of the games.
- Spamming are posts that aren't needed and just used to boost up your post count. Also multiple posts, and/or threads is also considered spamming. We like your posts to be at least two sentances long. If you just want to say "thank you", stretch it out. For example; "Hey, thank you so much for the information. It was extremely helpful to me."
- Posting with just smilies is definitely spam!!
04. Language Please:
- Please do not fill up these boards with cussing. We want these boards to be good for all ages, genders, etc. of Britney Spears fans.
- No "cool talk" please. Words like "phat" are not allowed here. Granted some of us do know that in slang, "phat" means "cool", however not everyone is up-to-date with the slang lingo! Now we do want you to be yourself and have a good time, but please watch what you say, and how you say it.
05. No Harassment:
- This especially applies to harassment of other members! This is not tolerated. We don't want to see people getting hurt by others. We understand this isn't always avoidable, and we want you to feel free to express yourself. Just please watch your words, and be careful of what you say.
06. Username:
- When you first join, you pick yourself a username. Please do not change your username. This is how we will contact you.
- You are not allowed to have multiple accounts on these boards. If you are caught with more than one, all accounts you created will be deleted from these boards.
- Screen names with more then one word. The way these boards are set up you can't sign up with a two word (or longer) screen name, unless you cramp it all together. If you want a two (or more) word then sign up as a number. Once you are joined, and change your screen name (although your ID will remain the number), please private message Lucky Starr, so she may put your screen name as a reserved one, so no one else may sign up to it, as long as you are a member of these boards.
07. Your PM Inbox:
- Please be sure to keep your pm inbox clear enough for new messages. If your inbox is too full, you will be unable to recieve new messages. There is a 50 message limit on your inbox.
08. No Pornographic Material:
- We don't want fake or real pornographic material pn these boards. If you post anything pornographic on these boards, such as, photos, links, videos, etc. You will be deleted as a member. This is something we simply do not tolerate at all.
- These boards are for Britney Spears fans of all ages. We refuse to have pornographic materials on them.
09. Your Avatar:
- For members of these boards. You may only have a 100x100 sized avatar. Borders are optional. Also, animated avatars are not allowed.
- You have the option of using one of the avatars we provide (which you'll find in 'profile') or, using your own avatar on your own host. Either way, members you have less than 100 posts, must have a Britney Spears related avatar. If you are caught with a non-Britney related avatar, we will change your avatar for you.
10. Giving Full Credit:
- We do not support people stealing others work, and calling it their own. So if you post a news artical, rumor, etc. and get them off a site, magazine or another member of the boards. Please give that member/site full credit.
11. Other Boards:
- If you own another message board, it's only natural to want to promote it. We really don't have a problem with you posting a link in your signature to other boards. As long as it is not a Britney Spears related message board.
12. Your Signature:

13. The Warnings:
- Warnings will be given to members who don't follow the guidelines.
- Once you have recieved five warnings, you will be removed from the board.
14. Board Cleaning:
- There's a secret place that holds all old threads. Every now and again, when we get inspired. We will do a bit of board cleaning and delete those old unwanted threads. This will results in members post counts going down.
