State What You Belive! :)

Post by Jake »

Recently, it has become obvious that some people around here have problems with how the site is being run (including some of it's mentors)......almost all of them have been silent about their opinions, because they are afraid of being rasterized by the members over it! :D So, I'm here to let you know: Don't hold back any concerns with teenhelp, because that's what this forum is here for, and no one will get mad at you for trying to help TeenHelp's situation.....if you're mistaken about a situation, we'll politely correct you, not insult you :) Again, please don't hold back any concerns you have for the site.....It's important that your view is expressed, and understood. :) If you are afraid of being criticised by the other people in the forums. There is no reason to be afraid of these wonderful people. :)



Current forum administrators: Skye, Cindy and Dustin

Current Chat Administrators: OverDrive and Four





Thank you for your concern for the well-being of TeenHelp.org :)

Woa Amanda has a question. Someone else had posted something like "oh thats great... i can trust you and be open" in this topic.. why'd you guys delete it?
When I hear somebody sigh that Life is hard, I am always tempted to ask, Compared to what?

If we did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves.

Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.


You see things; and you say Why? But I dream things that never were; and I say Why not?

It is a hard matter, my fellow citizens, to argue with the belly, since it has no ears.

We lost somewhere between a few minutes of posts and an hour of posts right around midnight of March 29th-March 30th because of a server switch, maybe that was it.

We have rules, they aren't that bad, they are reasonable rules. If you follow these rules none of your posts will be edited, and none will be deleted.

I agree....very well said four. There is a fine line that we are forced to draw to keep this place civilized. Believe me, without these rules, you'd see troublesome members left and right, the forums would be chaos and we would wind up taking them offline. I doubt you want that to happen, because I know I sure don't want that.

The flood control is a 30 second time out whereby you cannot flood the message boards with accedental or purposeful posts.



This is to keep spamming down to a minimum.

Flood control delay (in seconds)

Make users wait before posting again

Can be left blank for no flood control

That's a straight copy/paste from the admin pannel

Flood control is sometimes annoying if I am replying to more than 1 post within a topic and then I wander off to read other posts while I'm waiting for it to start itself up again.

We are currently compiling a FAQ. Until that is posted, and with any questions not mentioned in it, ask someone. Make a new topic or PM someone you think would know. We are here to help and try to make this as easy as possible to use.
