Welcome! Please read our guidelines before posting.

Welcome to the BTHSnews.org forums! You have chosen to join the #1 news source for Brooklyn Tech students. Below are some posting guidelines for the forums.

Your posts should contain:
  • An intelligible, useful comment.

Your posts shouldn't contain:
  • Chatspeak.
  • Spam or solicitation of any kind.
  • Curses, personal attacks/insults or other flaming language (especially threats).
  • Pornography, gore, or other offensive material (as determined by the moderating staff).
  • Anyone's personal information.
  • Post-dissection (breaking apart a post line-by-line into quotes to argue it).
  • Teachers' names. Do not refer to teachers by name, either positively or negatively, only informatively:
    • Mr. Smith is a terrible teacher and I would like to seek a transfer, what should I do?
    • Mrs. Doe is a great history teacher. (Because someone might disagree with you.)
    • My science teacher made fun of me in class, who should I talk to about it?
    • If you need to learn more about the Debate Team, go to Mr. Smith.
    In general: if it's something you would post on RateMyTeachers, don't post it here.

Try your best to:
  • Not revive old threads. If you want to continue discussion on an old thread, it's usually best to start a new thread and link to the old one as a reference.
  • Not have a humongous signature. Keep images around 300x120 pixels, and text no more than 6 lines long. (This is because the forums become unreadable when the majority of the page is composed of signatures.)

Note that:
  • Your post may be deleted for any violation of the above guidelines.
  • In addition to a deleted post, a violation of these guidelines may result in a warning from the moderators, or a ban, depending on the severity of the offense.
  • Private Messages (PMs) are regulated by the same guidelines here.
  • You are only allowed to have one account on the forums, and you are responsible for it. Don't share your password with anyone.
  • If you are having a problem on the forums with a user, report it to the moderating staff. If you're having a problem with a moderator or administrator, contact another member of the moderating staff.

And most importantly: no matter what, always be civil.
