The tone and layout of Any Port are self-evident, so you should have no problems finding the correct place to post your ideas or experiences.
We would like all members to feel comfortable in every area of the site and not decide to post their recipes, movie viewing or latest holiday all in the same place for personal convenience. Any Port is a collective effort by all of its members, so please place your posts in the appropriate location for the benefit of everyone, including yourself. If necessary, a cleaning crew will come through the forum periodically to set things right.
There is no point in denying the fact that there will be deletions from time to time. While we would all like to believe that free speech is sacred and that censorship is reprehensible, there may be times when abusive posts, personal insults or confidential information need to be removed. Everyone signed an agreement with the Terms of Service of our hosting company when they registered here. Please refer to it if you should ever wonder if anything you want to post is appropriate or not.
Normal etiquette should already be understood by all, but it may be useful to say that online personal arguments are rarely great moments of posting. On a more mundane level, posts that consist of just one or two words, in response to someone, generally do not provide an adequate panorama of your intelligence to the other members. And, general good advice: try not to PUI.
