are there any posting guidelines for the watch ?
I quickly realized (thank the creator !!) that spelling and grammar are unimportant,
But what about the use of italics, Bold faced words, Large print and the such ?
Because if there were an etq. I'm sure I have broken all of the established Guidelines before, and not if before I sure have now.
Post Etiquette ?

Be nice, don't curse, don't flame or spam (u kno who! 
) --and I believe Vain wishes people to refrain from complex imaging in sigs. Another thing that's reeeaallly nice is to limit the size of any image in your post-because the big ones can expand the margins and make it a pain to read the rest of the posts on said page.

I only really use italics for book titles. As for bold, large type and colored type, I never use it myself, but I've seen it used for emphasis.
Just don't use a motion avatar like Foul used to have.
That thing drove me nuts. I like Howard the Duck much better.

There's nothing wrong with italics. They're a gramatically correct way of placing emphasis. If they are just being used for the heck of it, that's a different story. Same thing for bold.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Unfortunately my favorite is my motion avatar but I will refrain from using it only once in a while.
But it may seem like they are all motion avatars, i have been known to change up to three times a day.
it seems I'm always spilling something on them.
