FYI. I think I've covered all eventualities. If anyone picks up a problem, please advise - otherwise Jn and/or Rangers can store wherever these form letters are stored for use (won't be used for 3 months yet, though. )
Thread can be locked if everyone is content with the letter.
Quote: Greetings and welcome [name of poster],
We have received your request for permission to post in the Thinking of England forum and are pleased to confirm that you meet the Board requirements of three months membership of B77 and 100 posts on the Board.
The members who post in the Thinking of England forum have established some specific guidelines by which all must abide in order to post in that forum. These guidelines have been established to preserve the privacy of posters and to ensure that all can use the forum with comfort and a degree of security. We remind you, however, that nothing posted on the internet can be guaranteed to be secure.
These guidelines also appear in the sticky note at the top of the forum and have been ratified by the membership of B77 in our Charter. Before we switch on your access to this forum, we ask you to read the guidelines and agree, by return email, to abide by them. As soon as we receive your confirmation by email you will be given access to the forum. You should then be able to see the Thinking of England subforum in The Round Table forum and be able to read and post in the threads. Please PM or email a Ranger if your access doesn't come through in a timely manner (but please also give us 24 hours leeway to give the Rangers time to do what is necessary).
We hope you enjoy the forum as part of your B77 experience!

Guidelines for posters in the Thinking of England forum:
1. Do not post or read in the Thinking of England forum (ToE) if you are under the age of 18.
If you are easily offended by conversations of a sexual nature, or are legally too young to read them (under 18 years of age), then this forum is not for you. Please contact a Ranger (administrator) to be disallowed access to the forum should you be underage or have not requested access. By reading and posting in this forum, you acknowledge that you are over the age of 18. The Rangers and owners of this website cannot be held responsible for any minors who access this forum.
2. Do not repeat anything from the ToE forum to anyone who is not a member of the ToE!
Please do not discuss or allude to anything discussed in the forum elsewhere on this board, elsewhere on the net or where an individual’s privacy may be compromised. If you do not see a person posting in the ToE forum, assume that they do not have access. It cannot be emphasized enough how important privacy is in this forum. If you feel you cannot respect that, please PM a Ranger immediately, so that your permissions for this forum can be removed.
3. Do not post explicit pictures in the ToE forum. There are people here who post from work, and the picture you post could be the picture that gets them fired from their job.
4. Do not post erotic chat in the ToE forum.
If you want to describe what you want to do to/with another poster sexually, take it to email / YM / IM or a message board where that is allowed or encouraged. In other words, no cyber-sex. There are plenty of other venues to take part in that type of conversation. Don't do it here.
5. ToE posters are encouraged to be alert to abusive or exploitive behaviour (especially taking advantage of another’s emotional vulnerability, youth, or inexperience in adult environments). Posters are encouraged to act on conscience when they witness such behaviour and to report any violation of the B77 by-laws to the Rangers.

Please confirm by return email that you have read and agree to abide by these guidelines.
With thanks,
Rangers of B77
Could I also ask a darling Ranger to post the new Sticky with the Admin ID please, and unsticky the superceded Sticky? (and perhaps add 'superceded' or something to thread title so there's no confusion about which is which.)
