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.

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.

(download images 1st do NOT hotlink!)

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.

I loved Foul's moving one, and really loved Itchy Purple Snowflake's!! But what counts is what Vain tells us would be harmful to the site, so I'll just remember them fondly. Alas!

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.

Hmm, ettiquette... Don't be an utter fool, and don't do anything with your posts that might induce stomach cramps or embarrassing rashes. That is all.

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.
