Welcome to Textkit! Since 2001 it has been the goal of Textkit to help assist Greek and Latin language learners world wide. Please read the following Textkit Forum Rules. These guidelines were created by Jeff Tirey, Textkit's founder.
TEXTKIT RULES
Our Culture
1. Be nice. Web site visitors will not desire to return to sites that are full of mean spirited exchanges. Think of Texkit as a classroom setting. Learners of all backgrounds come to Textkit to discover that they are not alone. Learning Ancient Greek and Latin is hard stuff. At Textkit, we believe that a positive and helpful community helps give learners engagement and it is slow and steady engagement which is required to master ancient languages.
2. Stay on topic. Post your topic to the appropriate board. Use the "Open Board" for off-topic posts. It's perfectly ok to create off topic posts. This is how we learn more about each other, but keep off-topic posts limited to the Open Board where they belong.
3. Banned Topics. At Textkit, we are not thought police and we do not care what people think. However, we care a great deal about what is posted here at Textkit. Keep all topics and posts appropriate. The term 'appropriate' need not be define other than to say common sense is required.
3. About Disagreement. Disagreement and debate are fine at Textkit but we require intelligence and civility. At all times we expect Textkitters to debate the merits of an argument and not attack the individual through flamming, yelling or name calling. This disrupts the harmony of Textkit and new learners will go elsewhere. If the sum of your comments disrupt the community more than they positively contribute, we will ask that you go elsewhere.
New Forum Members and Anti-Spam Policies - THE BIG '10' RULE BOOK
Textkit has suffered greatly due to forum spam abuse and hacking. This has resulted in a loss in our community involvement and lost threads. We are taking aggressive action to eliminate all forms of spam and we take tight security measures to reduce forum hacks.
Any problems with spam, security, site use or problems with users can be address to jeff at pre23 dot com. This address goes right to my mobile, so you WILL reach me via this method.
BIG TEN RULES
1. New Textkit users are required to post first in the "Open Board" with a short introduction. Please make your introduction in the Introduction thread at the top of the board and do not start a new thread. You can find the thread here viewtopic.php?f=6&t=10690. Without a meaningful first post introduction, it is difficult to determine if you account is spam should there be area of concern.
2. New Textkit users will have their first two posts moderated in order to prevent spam. Be patient, there may be a time delay with approval. Once you have posted more than 2 posts, your posts will go live to the board without moderation.
3. New Textkit users are prohibited from posting links or site suggestions in their first 10 posts. <-- This will get your account deleted
4. New Textkit users are prohibited from posting images and links or site suggestions in their signatures until they have made 10 posts. <-- This will get your account deleted
5. No-Follow commands are placed on all forum links until the Textkit user has made 100 posts.
6. Superficial engagement and postings where only light and brief postings are made and where the Textkit user is referring traffic to outside sites is prohibited. We want site recommendations, but this is a privilege and it must be earned first.
7. We reserve the right to edit or delete Textkit user accounts and or posts at any time where we feel the Textkit user's intent is self promotion. Again, if you are engaged and helpful on our forums in both your posts and the posts of others, the right to promote your sites and projects is earned. In fact, we are grateful. If you have not earned this right, we will take action by deleting accounts and/or posts with no warning.
8. Affiliate links of any kind are absolutely prohibited. <-- This will get your account deleted
9. Links or site suggestions to affiliate accounts, adult sites, gambling, malware/spyware, etc. is prohibited. <-- This will get your account deleted
10. Have fun. These rules don't sound very welcoming, but they are necessary to keep order and ensure your experience is positive. We are actually all a fun and helpful bunch and we are looking forward to meeting you!
Thank you for reviewing these rules. I'm sure you found them to be all common-sense rules designed to help ensure Textkit remains a vibrate learning community.
Have fun and thank you for joining us!
