What Will Happen if I Accidentally Post in Singles?

I've caught myself several times ready to write a post and see that it's for 'Singles Only'. I don't think I've actually done it yet but maybe a blinking neon sign for newbies like me will help.(lol)

Seriously, though, are the rules strict here when something like that happens?

Hi :wave:

Most of us at one time or another have accidentally post in a forum we shouldn't be in; it just happens...especially when viewing the new posts list and playing games etc!

The members of specific forums are usually understanding of mis-posts, and unless a person openly posts with disregard.....no worries.
If reported, usually staff will just pm the person to remind them of the rules of that forum.
When a person ignores the rules purposely, then the moderating system begins.

I hope you are enjoying CF; it is a great place with wonderful people :angel:

Hi :wave:

I had to watch your signature dog walk with a smile all the way from right to left before I could actually reply!:D Love that little guy!:)

Thank you so much for your kind reply, I feel much better!:) I've come close a few times and you would think I would have learned by now...but not yet. I get into the question, want to reply and then catch it's 'singles only'. Hopefully I'll do better in time...:blush:

I am totally enjoying it here and already found SO much kindness, helpfulness, inspiration, and fun. It is a great place with wonderful people, I agree!:)

I immediately checked out your pets and Penny is indeed adorable!:)

The only way I will post somewhere where I shouldn't is by accident, and I hope someone will remind me.:)

This newbie is known to be over-zealous at times and all kinds of things could go awry!(lol)

Thank you...we love her to pieces :D

They may or may not let you know.
I have had them invite me to stay and play games after I caught myself and posted "OOPS...wrong forum", but graciously declined because of the rules.
I'm sure they really don't want an OLD BIRD hanging around any way...and were just being polite :blush:
It is tempting at times when you see they need prayer or are asking for advice (sometimes I will pm or rep them).

You're enthusiasm is refreshing...don't stop!:angel:

(lololol) Thank you, Gail, please help me to remember...okay?:D

Is there an actual 'laughter' emoticon here that I missed? One of my favourite things to do is have a laugh with new and old friends, and a laughter emoticon could come in really handy to me!(lol)

Don't worry if you forget ;)

The laughing smiley ^_^ is on the right hand side of the compose box

The code to type it is ^_ ^ (no spaces)

Hi Louise

Your use of, Luba's 'quote'
I have taken to mean, that you are also asking for an answer to it


~
If the rules were not 'strict' [strictly maintained]
then, they would be ignored
and forums would very quickly deteriorate uncomfortably

There are good reasons for the rules
and, while genuine mistakes can be excusable
there can be no-excuse for deliberately flouting them


The Golden Eagles is an age-related forums, with a 'qualifying age' of, 50 years
We do however, treat visits by younger persons, with polite acknowledgements

So, to answer your question, ~ yes, the rules are, in-effect, 'laws'
that are moderated, by a group [or groups] of dedicated persons
whose remit, is to ensure the smooth running of the site
iow: to ensure members treat each other as respectfully as they should be treated

:wave:

It sure is a dilemma.:confused:

Thank you, Gail; yes, I'm feeling pretty good again!:hug:

Pray for them :pray: ...but just report and ignore it, if it is an obvious rule violation :sorry:

Glad to hear it Luba :thumbsup:

they have singles forums here?



Yes, click on HOME at the top of the page here
scroll down the page you arrive at and find ....Golden Eagles
Singles Forums is directly below Golden Eagles...
so easy to pick 'singles' instead of GE.........
