According to Art.6 paragraph 1 of our Charter however....
So that HAS to go onto the Front Page Statement.
Quote: A statement on the front page of the Message Board and on the registration form will state:
“Notice: Adult language is allowed on B77, but generally occurs no more frequently than in real life. We do require that members be at least thirteen years of age before joining. This board also contains an age restricted forum for discussion of topics inappropriate for children. The contents of this forum are not accessible to members who are under the age of eighteen, nor are they immediately accessible to the newest registrants.
All new Board registrations must provide their date of birth and a confirmation email from the member’s registration email address before membership [in this forum] is activated.â€
We should also include our Mission statement (or at the very least a link to that) as well as the main headers of Our Key Principles with a link to that page.
Both ratification end 26Jun midnight GMT and so that means we cannot put it up really before that time. The Front Page statement (ideally) should go up however before we open, if that can be achieved. In any case, the disclaimer MUST go up before we open.
The way I envisage this approximately would be for now or just as soon as we and Lidless are agreed and ready: (incorporating what's already uploaded but without giving a specific date for that might 'hang' us )
Opening later this month.
Please click here to be redirected to the Messageboard.
You can read and post once the board is open.
Disclaimer - insert disclaimer text as of ratified Art 6 with link to the geocities page. (Reasoning: giving the link also gives potential new members a chance to have a look at the Constitution).
On or around the 26Jun midnight GMT change to:
