-Theodore Roosevelt
First up, welcome to the brand spankin’ new TCF Advice Corner forum. This is where us TCF folk can meet to both give and receive advice from one another--people who are our age (roughly) and often times, are either currently going through the same troubles, issues, or concerns that we are, or have experienced them in the past and just happen to have a few experienced-based tips to share that might help ease us through the rough spots in life. We all have our moments of doubt, worry, anxiety, hard-ship, or just plain clueless-ness, and that is exactly why this forum is here: to help, in whatever manner possible and to whatever degree we are able, extinguish the doubt, mollify the worry, allay the anxiety, ease the hard-ship, and fill-in the clueless-ness. Tell us what's bothering you, and we'll try out best to help.
Now, having introduced what will surely become a popular mainstay here at TCF, I feel that, as this is an advice forum where all manner of topics will most surely be discussed, we must all remind ourselves of what we agreed to upon first registering as forum members at the The Chat Forum:
Although the administrators and moderators of The Chat Forum will attempt to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, it is impossible for us to review all messages. All messages express the views of the author, and neither the owners of The Chat Forum or Zathyus Networks, Inc (developers of Zetaboards) will be held responsible for the for the content of any message.
By clicking the Agree button [registering], you warrant that you will not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-orientated, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws.
The above is the TCF membership disclaimer, and as members, we are all bound by this agreement. Also, the agreement maintains that TCF may not be held responsible for any material that may be deemed by any of its members as being offensive, inappropriate, or otherwise in poor taste. Of course, violation of this agreement through the posting of such content merits immediate administrative action or punishment in the form(s) of, though not necessarily including: post deletion, notification of formal warning through forum personal message or PM, thread deletion or closure, or partial or complete banning from the forum site and properties. These courses of action are to be exercised at the discretion of the forum administration and staff, with a partial or complete ban from the forums pending a consultation with forum administration or global moderator. In cases of explicit violation of the above agreement, any administrative action taken will not be open to negotiation. The forum administration and staff will make an effort to prevent such violations, and to notify those in violation of the agreement of their fault, but the administration and staff make no guarantees to this.
Furthermore, given the unique circumstances certain to arise in a sensitive, advice-giving environment, The Chat Forum staff would like to issue another, forum-specific disclaimer:
By posting a response or thread in the TCF Advice Corner, you agree that The Chat Forum and its staff cannot in any way be held responsible for the outcome or success of the advice given to you by other forum members. The advice posted in this forum does not reflect the views or opinions of the forum staff, and is in no way endorsed or guaranteed by the forum staff. Forum members give, receive, and follow advice at their own risk, and accept all resulting liabilities as their own by doing so.
So, overall, keep it clean and considerate, and do not blame us if any of the advice you take from this forum does not work out.
Have fun, everybody, and give advice that's as good as that which you receive.
