With Apologies To Thomas Jefferson, A Reminder About BRB Community Guidelines
Every once in awhile, the tree of BRB must be refreshed with the blood of wayward commenters a friendly reminder that there are rules (gasp!) at BRB. Crazy, I know. I hate being a school marm, and I absolutely loathe having to warn or ban anyone. That's not why BRB exists. It's a place for...
BRB Notice: Detente (Must-Read)
As much as I've tried to let things be, the time has come for me to address an unpleasantness that's been growing here on BRB. I hoped that said unpleasantness would be something that was resolved organically, but it's become increasingly clear that I need to take a more active role in the...
Reminder: Community Guidelines

Amazin' Avenue Community Guidelines
As Sam was kind enough to point out, Amazin' Avenue was graced by its one millionth visitor the other day. It's a big fancy number and a great milestone for the site, and I'm very proud of us, writers and readers alike, for collectively having achieved it. It's especially gratifying to have built...
Follow the Rules of the Road
I had to ban a well-known member of this community today after an unfortunate exchange that took place this weekend. A reminder to both our new, and old, members about the way things are done here. Below are the Rules of the Road in this community. This site is a site for intelligent discussion...
Community Guidelines Reminder
With the number of members and comments per thread increasing, it's a good time to review some of the BtB Community Guidelines.
