Welcome to the Board!
Did you bother to read the
Message Board User Guide which would explain most of what you're complaining about?
Thanks!
When I joined up you could just jump right in with both feet! (I do not recall having to introduce myself, but it is a great idea)
The link you provided is helpful, and not just for new-bees
either
"Like any community we have a few rules to keep things running smoothly. You can read through the full
terms and rules and
privacy policy, but they boil down to 3 basic rules:
- Be respectful to the moderators and fellow members
- Report any problems
- No spamming (unapproved advertising)
New members are subject to a few additional rules to thwart spammers, such as restrictions on signatures and moderation of posts. These restrictions are lifted once you have 100 posts and have been a member for 10 or more days."
