Hello there, and Welcome to SlackLand! We welcome all into this
land with a warm caring *NEWBIE*HUG!*. SlackLand (alt.slack) is a
highly affectionate, caring, and cuddly newsgroup. We partake of
pillow fights, tickle attacks, Uberfemmes *POOF!*ing up right next
to you, handing out cookies, hugs and snuggles, wonderful little
ambush hug attacks, and many stories which are told amongst the
inhabitants.
In SlackLand we have a few simple guidelines which help keep the
character of the group; to let everyone enjoy and bask in the warmth
of cuddles. In the end, the courtesy must come from you. This courtesy
can take many different forms, and a few of the more important
guidelines are listed here:
Slackland's Guidelines ...
Posting:
* Send cuddles, newbie attacks, snuggles, hugs, stories,
friendship-type feelings. Basically anything, and everything you
want to.
* SlackLand is a friendly place, so in keeping with the spirit,
keep your postings friendly as well. Use your own judgement.
Personal Space:
* Everyone has a "personal space", and be careful not to cross
someone's limits. Sometimes a little innocent flirting can be
taken the wrong way.
+ *hugs* *snuggles* *cuddles* *nuzzles* *kisses*on*the*cheek*
*holding*hands* *backrubs* *massages* *schnuzzles* etc.,
are always welcomed, and encouraged.
+ *kisses* *smooches* *caresses* etc., are getting very
affectionate, and can possibly offend.
* Get to know the person first, before becoming too affectionate.
* Too much affection (or too little) can offend some Yeti.
Use your discretion when cuddling.
The Overmen - who are they and what can you expect? :
* In SlackLand there are some folks who have been designated as
Overmen. They are really just Yeti who set a really good
example and have been in alt.slack for awhile. They are selected
and honored with the title by the existing Yeit as recognition for
their contributions to the spirit of the group.
What Overmen Do
* Exactly the same as everyone else! They preserve SlackLand as a
place of fun, friendship and support for everyone to enjoy.
* The Overmen have been around awhile, and have more experience
in dealing with certain kinds of issues that plague alt.slack.
* The Overmen can be viewed as role models, but they must not be
mistaken as the leaders of alt.slack.
* As with all aspects of net life, please remember that the Royals
are people first, with faults and opinions, and none of us are
perfect.
Flames and Harassment:
* Do NOT respond to any "trolls" or flames on the newsgroup.
* Do NOT respond to their provokation.
* Do NOT "become the hero", and charge off into battle.
* Postings, or Cross-Postings will always appear from other users
who have a malicious intent. They are just creating trouble, and
looking for it.
* Do NOT criticize or "Flame" someone for making a mistake. We're
all very friendly here. Talk about things in a clear and concise
manner. Don't get into petty personal put-downs. We forgive,
and then cuddle.
See you in hell!
