Ahem.
For avatars, use the direct link for the image...
Meaning, do NOT, under any circumstance, use any coding around your image link.
Ahem.
I'm not a mod, but I play one on TV.
Okay, not on TV, but on the internet.
Okay, not on the internet either. In my bedroom.
Okay, in my bedroom, in my underwear. Happy?

I have a question regarding threads about alcoholic beverages. In the rules it says that mentioning drinking in passing is ok if you are of legal age in your state/province etc, so long as you don't encorage others to drink that are not of age. It also says that threads promoting and or asking about a brand of beer/spirit is not allowed because it a form of advertisment. Again this is fine, but what about a thread that ask for advise on a type of beverage that one could serve or enjoy at sometime? IE is suggesting that a scotch is can be a good after dinner drink in the winter the same thing as mentioning that a certain brand of scotch is a good after dinner drink?

One would think that asking advice could be construed as encouragment for consumption of said beverage, so I'd think with it being that grey, it'd be something stay away from. However, ProBoards needs to frickin' clean up their rules so they make more sense in those sorts of matters.

Does the "member is online/offline" text indicate whether or not you are logged onto the forum, or whether or not you are connected to the internet?

We are currently updating this paticular rule as it isn't as clear as it should be. Suggesting a drink for something would lend itself to encouraging others really. So overall I'd say no to that type of thread. If you go by the proboard rules then they say it's ok to mention 'That you put a bit of sherry in your trifle'. Although in your scenario this is hardly helpful. Currently I would avoid naming brands of drinks at all, but expect a more definitive ruling in the near future.

Is there any way to make it so spoilers wont show up on the "Recent Posts" page? Is it possible to create a separate forum just for spoilers and then change the settings for that forum so that posts from there wont show up in the recent posts? Or some other way?

Define "spoilers." Once something is aired on TV, it's no longer a spoiler, so if you're referring to something you haven't seen yet, that's not fair game. Everything else is supposed to be labeled spoiler, if I'm not mistaken.

The Smackdown! and iMPACT! spoilers are posted prior to the shows airing. I'm talking, on the bottom of the main forum page, where you click "10 Most Recent Posts".

The Smackdown and Impact spoilers are usually labeled "SPOILERS" as well. If not, they're supposed to be. EDIT: Never mind...I see what you're saying. From running another ProBoard for a philanthropy I work with, I don't think there can be much done about that. Since that shows specific posts, and not just a link to the posts, the only way to get around that would be to not click on it. Even if it's in its own section, it'll still show the entire post when you click on the 10 Most Recent.

No I've been making some PM's to random mods about it with random occurrences. It's been overboard in my eyes... bad.

There's always that element that has to poke you for daring to think differently. If it happens again, PM your nearest mod with your complaint AND the link of the thread it happened it. Evidence can only help you out.

I've noticed it mostly in the Off-Topic board, particularly posts made by a single poster (not you) just to get people PO'd.

There may be only one person that you've seen but it's worse than that really.
