Forum Posts: In the spirit of lightening up!

[CavySpirit]

I just wanted to let you all know that I've edited the great post that Ly made of summarizing our posting rules: Guinea Pig Cages, Care, Store, Photos of Guinea Pigs and More Forum! - Information in Forum : About Guinea Pigs.

I would appreciate it everyone would take a reread of it. For long-time members, it's the bottom sections that are more pertinent. I've also added a link to this post called "(more info)" at the end of the text about the posting rules above every post or new thread entry screen.

In addition to this, I've reworded and retitled the standard notices that are sent when we give out infractions for posting violations (wheeks and poos). Hopefully, they come across in a bit more friendly way so that members aren't as wigged out when they get them. I'm leaving the wheek and poo point system in place--which really only matters to repeat offenders. But it's not highlighted or even mentioned in the standard notices.

For example, here is a "wheek notice:"
