11. General Policies. Yes the ten guidelines can have 11 points, if a trilogy can have more than three books... These are policies that we'd like to maintain but don't fall into the main guidelines above.
- Poll Jihads or Hijacking: Poll jihads or hijacking is defined as linking to a poll elsewhere on the Internet and asking the CP community to vote on the poll en masse to get a desired result. We feel that this defeats the purpose of polls in general and can generate (and has resulted in) negative sentiments towards CP. Posting a poll is fine, and there may be cases where a hijacking is warranted (such as the "best hockey forum poll"). If you are unsure then ask a Moderator.
- Posting new threads: You will not be able to start a new thread in the main discussion forum unless you either have 25 posts, or have been a registered user for two weeks. This has been done to reduce the clutter of new threads in the main forum, especially with someone registering just to troll. You can still contribute to existing threads, and by 25 posts hopefully you will have a good sense of how the community operates. If you feel your thread will be amazing, PM the Moderator and it can be started for you
How Come I can't Post in the Main Forum?
