Howdy members,
By and large, it looks like this message board has been very successful so far. I'm glad that lots of kids are here and able to chat about Victoria and other things that interest you.
Now with over 300 members and 23,000 posts, I would like to ask the members to observe just a few protocols. These will help in the administration of the Board. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated!
[/li][li]Every member needs just 1 member account. If you have several "Identities" or member accounts, please use just one. As I notice unused duplicate accounts, I will be deleting them.[/color]
[/li][li]Please do not SPAM the Board with continual requests for people to visit your website. Usually 1 announcement about your website is sufficient. Having your site's URL in your signature will also encourage visitors.[/color]
[/li][li]As the administrator, I am mostly responsible for the technical aspects of the Message Board. I do not know what Victoria's schedule is, nor when she will be on the Board, so there is no need to PM me asking such. That's a question I cannot answer, though I sure get asked a bunch![/color]
[/li][li]Many questions are asked within the Board that have already been answered in the "Message Board Info and Rules" section at "About the Message Board." For instance, some people don't know how to set up an avatar; some don't know what "smite" and "exalt" mean for karma. Every member, especially newbies, should read what's there. It can really help.[/color]

One last thing for now . . .
The First Amendment of the United States Constitution says:
Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech
By law, yes, you ALL have freedom of speech in that there can be no law deciding what you may or may not say, with obvious responsibilities attached (for instance, you may not yell "FIRE" in a crowded movie theater for no reason).
Please understand that with the right to speak your mind also comes a resposibility to be civil to your fellow humans. This Message Board, however, DOES NOT guarantee you unrestricted free speech. The Board Provider (PROBOARDS.COM) and this Board each have rules about what you may or may not say here.
For instance: you may not like a particular racial or religious group; you may have certain feelings toward one politician or another; you may not like another member of the Board; etc. When participating on this Board, those are opinions you will do best to keep to yourselves.
Remember, kids, the focus of this Message Board is Victoria Justice - her talent, her works, her life, and so on. The General Board provides a place for you to reasonably express opinions about things beside Victoria but generally related, such as other stars your (or her) age, TV shows, movies, and general teen-related topics such as school, peer-pressure, and general interaction.
Thank you all for your participation and cooperation. This is a wonderful place to interact, and with everyone's help we will keep it that way
And props to the Mods for all their help!

- If you wish to ask a single member a personal question, please use the Personal Message (PM) function instead of a starting a thread on the Board.
