Rules, Regulations, and Assorted Information
.:: to be followed in the BoredOnline.net Forums and Chatroom

1. Anything that is Anti-Catholic in nature will not be tolerated.

A charitable debate may, at the complete discretion of BoredOnline's moderators, supersede this rule. However, it is important to remember that this is a Catholic Homeschooling Community. Any mockery of, insults toward, or intolerance to any topic pertaining to God, Christianity, the pope, the Church, etc. will not be tolerated. This site is officially professes its submission the Magisterium of the Catholic Church and recognizes Benedict XVI as the one, true, and legitimate pope. In addition, while this site is still open to non-Catholic members, members are expected to be respectful of the Catholic faith. At the same time, uncharitable derision of those of other faiths will not be tolerated.

2. Profanity is not tolerated.
No swear words, curse words, or foul language is permitted on this website. Similarly, if the offender tries to circumvent the foul language filter, punishment will be leveled as this can only be seen as an action done in a will and desire to break the rules.

3. BoredOnline members are expected to act in a Christian and moral manner.
This includes, but is not limited to, "adult or mature" discussion material, off-color jokes, improper images, disgusting or otherwise offensive posts.

Please remember that this is a public, mixed forum and try to keep the conversations modest and appropriate for all.

4. Maintain a spirit of charity.
Always be polite and respectful towards your fellow members! If someone posts a flame or deliberately spiteful message about other BoredOnline member, the offending user will be warned and notified. If the behaviour is continued, appropriate measures will be taken.

5. Private messages are rightly called "private".
Please refrain from posting any private message on BoredOnline without prior approval from the sender of the message.

6. BoredOnline is a community designed for use by HomeSchooling Youth or HomeSchooling Graduates.
This site has been built for HomeSchooling youth who wish to communicate with each other online. While the administration allows exceptions to the rule (friends of other homeschoolers, private & public schooled students who share similar interests, etc), the administration reserves the right to suspend the accounts, at any time, of those who are not homeschoolers and who share a blantantly different moral and ethical foundation.

7. BoredOnline Cannot be Held Responsible for Content Outside of the Site.
Though we do monitor and try to ensure the acceptability of all content posted on this site, we cannot vouch for external sites linked to from user profiles, signatures, etc.

8. The minimum age for members is 12 years of age. However, even at that age, it is not necessarily recommened. This rule, however, will not be retroactive. Any member who has registered before October 19th, 2006 is not subject to this rule. Parents should ensure the site is suitable for their children.

9. Making posts in "secret codes" will not be tolerated.

Very good! They're a lot clearer than I remember them to be before (or is it just me?)

Double-posting is usually an accident and the extra post is deleted by the first moderator to notice it.

I believe that he was asking about the word that "crud" is a substitute for, and that is what my answer was directed at. I am familiar with the history of the term, so I am fairly certain of his meaning.
