Guest posting, Membership Advantages, Rules - Start Here!

[admin]

Welcome to the Forums of RYOrevolution.com

Please be aware that this forum is only for Adult Smokers, if you are too young to legally purchase cigarettes at your local Qwicky Mart, then you're too young to be here!

The purpose and goal of these forums is to provide an easy and user friendly environment for people interested in RYO/MYO/SYO (Roll Your Own / Make Your Own / Stuff Your Own) cigarettes. All forum members are encouraged to share their opinions, preferences, reviews and tips & tricks with each other AND those who are still smoking pre-made cigarettes but might be curious about the savings and quality advantages inherent in switching to RYO and joining the RYO Revolution!

Guests are not allowed to Start New Topics. Guests are allowed to view the public forums but in order to post, a Guest must validate their post using a CAPTCHA. Additionally, all Guest posts are placed in a moderation queue. This means that ALL posts by non-forum members will require moderator approval before being posted into the topic. If you have any interest in RYO & MYO cigarettes (why else would you be here?) we encourage you to join us as an RYO Revolution Forum member.

Guests do not have access to the built-in forum search tools. However, the Google powered search function on RYOrevolution.com can be used to search the forums. (I will be integrating the Google Search function into the forums in the near future).

Forum Membership is FREE and only requires that you are OVER 18 and can provide a Valid E-mail address. It's very simple to register, please see the Forum Registration topic. Once registered and logged into the forums you'll never need to see another one of those annoying CAPTCHA's!

New Members can Start New Topics (in the Four Newbies Categories Only), Search the forums, Bookmark & Subscribe to topics of interest, Send Private Messages directly to other forum members, specify the forum style to match their preferences, automatically login on return visits and much more. Validated Users also can use custom Avatars and Signatures, Start New Topics in almost every Category, use the forum Email system to contact other members and access the FOUR "Members Only" forums which have areas for RYO Tobacco Specials and Member to Member trades, a Political Forum, create a topic about your hobbies & interests and also an Offtopic Forum where you can Rant, Vent or just talk about anything you like away from public scrutiny!

The RYO Revolution Forum Rules are simple and few, we're all adults here and should be able to behave that way. I'm not easily offended or particularly thin-skinned but please watch your language and avoid using profanity. The only things I absolutely won't tolerate are personal attacks or abusive language directed at other members, posts of that nature will likely be edited or deleted by a moderator and the offender will be issued a warning. Also, please try to remain respectful of other members opinions and keep your comments ON-Topic.

Also, we have a Zero Tolerance regarding SPAM. If you have a product or business you'd like to promote here you are allowed to create ONE topic in the appropriate forum. You may also add a link to your business in your user profile and your signature. However using the forums PM or E-mail functions to send promotional material to our members is NOT ALLOWED.

Multiple offenses of any of these rules WILL result in a Permanent Ban!

A Note about Alerts! You will see a button with an Exclamation Point "!" on every post. If you find a post that is offensive or offtopic, do not hesitate to press the button! to report the post. A moderator will view the reported post and deal with it appropriately.

I hope you'll take a moment to Register and JOIN in the discussions here. We welcome connoisseurs of fine tobaccos, RYO newbies, and those who are just curious about the RYO Revolution. So please take a few moments to register and share your knowledge and experiences with the rest of us, or if you're a newbie - feel free to ask lots of questions.

Whatever you do, if you're a smoker, stop buying and smoking those awful factory-manufactured chemical sticks made from reconstituted and expanded 'tobacco' products wrapped with FSC paper and start crankin'/fillin'/injectin'/stuffin' or Rollin' Your Own!
