If you do, the image will be removed and you will receive a warning PM about it. Also, from now on please do not post images by uploading them onto the forum. It is taking up way too much of our web space.

All genres must be approved. RELIGIONS: This is a Christian forum. False religions (i.e. Buddhism, Wicca, Mormonism, New Age, etc) are not to be promoted on this board. If you do not follow Jesus Christ and believe that His Word is Truth, then you have no business on this forum.

If a member’s signature exceeds the limits stated below, it will be removed and a notification issued by the Adminstrator. You may either use text or an image. Not both. Image Size Limit: 40 pixels tall by 400 pixels wide Text Size Limit: 5 lines of regular-sized text (large text not allowed) Users will be notified if they use an unapproved signature outside the categories.

In short, one question at a time! 6. Because the chat is only one hour long, let others ask questions too. Don't just ask and ask and ask. Be considerate. 7. Posts containing obscenities will be deleted and the user's account suspended. 8. Listen to the Moderators of the chat. If they warn you, take their warning to heart and learn from it. 9.
