Message board guidelines

Go to the VOC message board now.

Single Thread for each Topic

For instance, if there is a message board thread to organize a trip, post the trip report and photo links to the same thread. 1 thread per topic only please; it really helps keep the board more organized. When, half way through the planning stage, your destination changes, it is permissible to start a new thread with the new destination in the title, and a note (or even better a link) on the old thread pointing to the new thread.

Put the date and destination of a proposed trip in the message title

• Sphinx Hut Ski Trip Jan 12-13 = Good
• Sphinx Hut this weekend = bad. Once the weekend of the trip passes, the title become confusing
• Anyone want to go skiing Jan 12-13. Ok because you haven't decided on a destination yet. Repost a new thread once the destination is settled, or leave it as is if the thread is short enough to read through.
• Anyone want to do something tomorrow = Very bad - does not specify the date or destination
