1. Everyone should read and be familiar with the vpFREE FAQ before posting messages on vpFREE Forums.
2. Every message"s subject line should accurately identify the content of the message, to facilitate faster navigation by interested or uninterested members.
3. 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.
4. When replying to messages, quote just enough of the previous post to maintain continuity. Delete the rest of the previous post.
5. When replying to messages, clearly differentiate the previous message(s) from your comments, so that it will be easy to identify who wrote what.
6. 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.
7. Don"t use any vpFREE member"s real name, even their first name, on any vpFREE forum unless they themselves use their real name there.
8. As a spam prevention measure, no one can upload to the Files Directory on the vpFREE home page unless they get temporary upload access from the Administrator.
9. Casino personnel probably monitor vpFREE Groups so posts containing sensitive information should take this into consideration.
10. Members are expected to observe the rules of Netiquette , and to practice politeness and show good taste in their vpFREE posts.
11. Any post that disagrees with vpFREE Dogma and reaches contradictory conclusions, should be supported with significant, persuasive documentation.

12. 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.
13. Use FREEvpFREE for any political, religious, or smoking vs. non-smoking discussions. Non-partisan status reports about smoking and non-smoking availability in casinos are OK on vpFREE.

In addition, a member may make a maximum of one vp-related promotional post in any 6 month period.
