Absolutely not. The babes section is staying right where it is.
The reason for this change is to address what a number of individuals in this thread have already commented on, which is the individuals that feel the need to trash, attack, and hijack threads for no reason other than they want to. It may be "funny" to them, but we'll see how "funny" they think it is when they get a free pass to the reader's group.

This is your only warning that this action will no longer be tolerated, and actions will be taken because of this in the (very) near future.

N2news is all about helping people out, not about attacking individuals, derailing threads, hijacking them, or anything like that. While, understandably, some may be frustrated that you can't see TV as you want right now, this is no excuse for this kind of action, and the forum rules still apply!

A (quick) walkthrough on proper posting etiquette since it seems to be necessary:

1. If your post is not on topic, don't post it.
   How do you determine if the post is on topic? Ask yourself this very simple question:
   
   
2. If your post is going to divert discussion from the original post of the thread, don't post it.
3. If your post is just a "fluff" post (ie: it contains no real content), don't post it.

From this point onward, any post that is deemed by moderators to meet any of those criteria will be given an 'infraction'. Get enough 'infraction points' and you will be given a temporary pass to the "readers only" group, where you will be able to be able to contemplate your actions with the ability to read threads and download attachments only.

While I do realize this may be upsetting and frustrating to some, a good number of individuals are ruining what is a great site by hijacking and trolling in threads, which hasn't been acceptable since I came in over a year ago. If you DO see something like this, please, point it out to us by clicking on the report post icon () and we will take action if necessary.

Feel free to ask any relevant questions in this thread.

I read your message two times and am lost as to what you were saying.
I have not even posted a single message since a I became a member. I tried to contact management once to change my log in name.
This leaves me not knowing what was the mistake I did if I did something wrong.
PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT MISTAKE DID I COMMIT?

Thanks

Inappropriate posts are still inappropriate posts. There's nobody saying you can't post threads that are relevant in the appropriate forum, and there's nobody saying you can't reply to them. What we're saying, and what has been said throughout this thread is this:



If it fits the topic of the thread, then by all means, post it. If it doesn't, keep it to yourself. Simple enough?

Topics and threads are getting derailed left and right, help is not able to be provided because of that, and it's just not fair to people coming here looking for that help. If you want to have fun, joke around, do it in your own threads, providing they're in the appropriate forums and follow the forum rules.
