vpFREE Policies and Posting Guidelines


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 forum, 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: https://www.west-point.org/users/usma1955/20228/V/POL_TOS.htm

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 the vpFREE Forum.

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. Let the Administrator do the administrating. Send any comments, questions, suggestions or disagreements about vpFREE policies or procedures to the Administrator via private email.
