I first want to welcome you all to our Beemaster's International Forums; we are gaining a hundred members a month or more and growing every day. I ask EVERY NEW MEMBER TO "Introduce yourself to our family of beekeepers and then understand that we are very strict in maintaining our bi-laws
http://forum.beemaster.com/index.php?topic=1614.0But understand that you cannot post links to website or photos or links of any kind WITHOUT having a Moderator do it for you - until you meet our membership requirements against spamming or worse. We take serious anyone who is here to cause havoc to our membership - it is our goal to ALWAYS have the youngest member of any family a place where they can safely read material written by our members.
DO NOT (THIS IS IMPORTANT STUFF) try to "Jimmy a LINK ADRESS in a post until you get permission, a BOT has been created to look for people trying to By-PASS our security to prevent NEW MEMBERS from posting possible pornography or other hate or sick thing. We Take pride that members go through a safety screening to prevent (to the best of our ability) protecting ALL MEMBERS.
Please just active, communicate here on ANY TOPIC, but write really posts, not just copy and past stuff and before you know it, you'll have both the ability to post images and links, but have NEW FRIENDS TOO.
This is how we give back to the many members who donate to keep us always ready to improve the forum, pay for any costs of operation, so that we WILL NEVER HAVE COMMERCIAL ADVERTISING and ALSO SHARE THE INFORMATION ON TO EVERYONE, with no fights, only people with different views, who agree to disagree and all without fights. This is a unique place, which makes it a moderator's handful, but lucky for us, beekeeping is a pretty mellow topic. Anyone causing trouble here usually doesn't belong here in the first place.
JUST BE WARNED, if you do bypass the rule of posting links, you will see a warning message in bright red print - continue to slip a link location in so people can patch it together - if you hide a link in this post and choose to continue, YOU ARE INSTANTLY BANNED - NO EXCEPTION - so don't try to post links, ask the moderators to do it for you. It is the stiffest punishment we have in our rules, and INSTANT BANNISHMENT WILL OCCUR EACH AND EVERYT TIME - so please BE WARNED.
So, follow the rules NEW MEMBERS, before you know it, posting links to whatever you see fitting will be allowed, that is what us moderators do, add your links to your new posts for you. It is only to prescreen the link for anything explicit and offensive to our members.
Besides that, have the best community of beekeeping friends you will ever have. Promised.
