Please review our forum rules:

By using this forum, you agree to the rules set forth by the administrators, which are subject to change at any time. You must be aware that forum administrators, moderators and The Mount Vernon Inquirer Newspaper, a.k.a. The Inquirer Media Group are not liable for any content present on this forum. We do monitor postings occasionally, but we want to hear about any possibly offensive, inflammatory or provocative language being posted. Our goal is to create an open forum of free exchange and this is only possible if everyone works together.
 

General Guidelines

Users must be respectful when posting on our forums. Personal attacks will not be tolerated. While open and vigorous debate is encouraged, name calling or defamation of a fellow user or business will be dealt with strictly. In line with this, any thread that degrades into off-topic arguing or name calling will be subject to deletion and the offenders will be confronted.

For your own protection we do not recommend the posting of personal phone numbers, addresses or full names. Please remember that you are posting to the entire world. Even email addresses should not be made public. Use private messages instead to set up communication with fellow members outside the forum.

Posts cannot contain advertisements or links to businesses or web sites for the sole purpose of advertising or publicity. The only exceptions are threads that openly solicit a service or ask for information (Example: “I’m looking for a charter in Mexico” or “Does anyone know how to find out about company/product xyz?”).

Post topics in the appropriate section. This is especially important for topics that belong in "The Lounge".
· Keep Topic "Titles" Clean. This forum is used by members of all ages.
· Porn is not welcome here. "R-rated." "X-rated" pictures, sites, or links are and will remain strictly against the rules and will be deleted without notice
· Profanity or Defamatory language - Profanity, defamatory, sexist, or any other generally inappropriate content is not allowed in the forum.
· Threats, Racism, Sexism - Threads or replies promoting or expressing intolerant views towards minorities (race, religion, sexual preference, etc.) will not be tolerated.
· Advocacy of violence or suicide will result in an immediate ban
· Sexual Harassment will not be tolerated. Defined as unwelcome sexual advances, sexual suggestions, or sexual content directed at another user, when reported.
· Drugs: Threads/replies promoting illicit drugs/narcotics will not be tolerated.
· Police Bashing: Persistent or purposeful “cop bashing” is not allowed. Referring to a cop, policeman, etc is appropriate but unproven defamatory remarks or titles will not be tolerated
· No political threads! These threads tend to get out of hand really fast. There are plenty of other places on the internet to discuss politics.
· Flames or derogatory insults are strictly against the rules. If you disagree with another member's point of view, do so in a mature and civil manner.

Suggestion: If you are particularly irritated by another member's posting habits, you can click on that person's profile, and select "Add to ignore list." This will make that person's posts invisible to you.

Stay respectful. If you feel something negative towards a user/post, please try to state your case in a calm and respectable fashion. Replying to the post just to stir the pot and not offering anything of value is highly frowned upon.

Advertisements, business self-promotion, and of course spam, will be deleted without notice.

Obvious off topic spam posts will enjoy a permanent IP and user ban.

We believe that our community of enthusiasts holds itself to a higher standard and we don’t expect to have to enforce these rules very often. They are only here for your protection and convenience. We encourage you to contact us directly with and complaints or suggestions.
