I have to agree, there was a need for us newbie to know what is a good post and what is not allowed. I am one who did post a message that was deleted and the e-mail I recieved from BB was answered and then clearified. It's a GOOD THING to have guidelines.

I think we are doing a good job and with a set of guidelines we all can make the site better.

I know I have learned a lot and look forward to continue learning about our passion.

All sounds good to me...There is nothing wrong with a few good rules.

All in all, the ladies are very courteous and respectful. As mentioned, some comments/blogs/sites can be outrageous. Think we are all too crafty to be mean. Our minds are working 24/7 in creative mass.

Coming from a corporate environment, I was wondering why "Big Brother" was lax on some of the items being posted. Good that guidelines are being put in place. It is only fair to the existence of the AnnTheGran site.

Much appreciated, ladies. I hadn't noticed the lack of rules either - that's the funny thing. As I said before, I'm not really a rules person, so I found this particular writing exercise rather more painful than some. But alas, it isn't all fun and games (isn't that why I get paid for it?) and this is our way of keeping everything going forward as positively as it has gone so far.

Thanks for your comments. It's good to know that, according to the most important people to our site, its users, we are on the right track.

Whereever there is a rule there is someone who tries to break it!!! But your suggestions are thoughtful, and full of common sense. I for one, will be happy to abide by them. Thank you for the considerate way you approached this. Have a great weekend!!!

Greg,

It's so nice to see you back on the blogs! I've missed you! I must be one of the odd ones that likes to mix geek talk with sewing. It keeps me "well-rounded!" ;-)

Although I haven't seen anyone breaking the rules, laying ground rules is always necessary. Yours are basic & easy to follow.

Monitoring posts is a good idea. It usually depends on the type of people drawn to the site that would determine if posts need to be monitored. ATG does not draw this type of clietele, but it's always better to be on the safe side. I wish more sites would do it!

You have a huge job! Keep up the good work!

Rules sound fair and easy to follow. I read the blog for all

the information on it. I was not aware we needed rules,

but works for me. I enjoy the mention of products and being

able to find them on ATG.

Hey, Greg, that was great. I really hacn't notice the lack of rules on ATG. But now that you have posted them, I see that is a good idea and a good way to keep ATG squeeky clean for all of us who enjoy the companionship we find her. Keep up the good work. We all apprecaite the work you do to keep the web site up and running.

This is a fair and reasonable set of rules and I for one am glad we have them. If we have a 'free for all,' that just means that mommy and daddy are letting the inmates run the asylum.

You missed the opportunity on the little stick figure, he needs orange socks. . . .

Thanks Greg....

This will help me. I know that I only use my own blog comment section now though to answer people since I was making mistakes earlier.

You did a super great job of making each topic clear and to the point!!!

:) Have a NICE weekend!!!
