$ Posts containing hit maps/stat charts are okay, but do not post every single day. We are not that attentive to notice the subtle changes to your stats. Posting links to your hits are okay, but unless your latest hit is really strange or exciting ... we probably won't be all that interested.

$ Posts asking where to purchase stamps will be deleted. If you are looking to purchase stamps, Google it. We also have a list of online and offline shops here. If you know of some place else, let us know and it will be added to the list.

$ General "community" rules apply. This includes (but is not limited to) being nice to the other members and not starting problems or having an attitude. Also, comments have to be allowed on your posts. Why? Because it's not nice to turn them off. The reason you post to a community (and not your own journal) is to have other, like-minded people to talk to.

$ If you post a photo of American currancy, please blur out the serial numbers. Why? Because there are people out there that take the serial numbers off of photos of bills online and enter them on Where's George?. If you post a bill with legible serial numbers, you might end up with some false hits.
