b0st0n's Journal

Welcome to the Boston Community!

The Boston Community is not only for people who live
in Boston proper but those who live in the surrounding
cities, towns and suburbs and those who are generally
interested in what goes on in the area.

Please keep in mind that posts should be of interest to
the community at large. Posts that are not Boston specific
are fine now and again but please do not make a habit of quizzes,
forwards and off topic posts.

• All posts must have comments enabled
  
• Posters should refrain from deleting other users' comments.
  
• Please do not screen comments, unless you're asking for personal information or there's a need for people to post anonymous information.
  

Snark is okay! This is b0st0n. We are cynical and sarcastic. Deal.

What is not allowed in this community:

• Posts that are obviously personal in nature
  (i.e. should be in your personal journal)
  
• Hate speech (racist, sexist, homophobic language used in malice)
  
• Advertisements for pay websites
  
• All content that is Not Safe For Work should be placed behind a cut and labeled NSFW
  
• Trolling (You will be banned if caught. If you are slick enough not to get caught, go you!)
  

Also, Please use lj-cut tags for long posts. This means posts that do not fit in one screens worth of space. Also, please cut large images, off-topic posts and polls.
If you do not know how this FAQ can help.
