OUR RULES:

These rules keep Lucianne.com a respectable website.  Lucianne.com’s registered users are its reporters.  By extension users are the editors too.

Lucianne.com is a NEWS site. Please, only post news articles, columns and commentary from legitimate, on-line newspapers, magazines and/or news websites. We prefer articles no older than 48 hours - - - unless an older article would serve as vital background for a current posted article.  

Personal essays (“Vanity Posts”), chain letters, parodies, songs, poems and unattributed screeds are not permitted and will be removed forthwith. 

Articles from hate groups’ sites are not allowed.  For example, sites operated by such groups like KKK, Aryan Nation, American Nazi Party, Black Panthers, AntiWar.com and Spotlight among any others that are anti-ethnic, anti-race, anti-religion, anti-nationality, etc. are not allowed.  Sites that are not allowed are automatically blocked to the best of our ability.

Cartoons, photographs and illustrations are not allowed to be posted anywhere on Lucianne.com simply to keep bandwidth to a minimum.

We do not have room or time for duplicate posts.  Duplicate posts will be removed. 

To avoid making a duplicate post:  First, check the front page to see if the article has been posted.  If you do not find the article on the front page then use the ‘Search’ function:  Click on the ‘Search’ link at the top of the page inside the Lucianne.Com logo box.  The ‘Search’ function will scan Lucianne.com by Article Title, Publisher, Author and User Name.  Once you have determined an article has not already been posted you may post that article.  This is necessary to insure that an article does not have more than one thread.  We want all replies in one thread.

Replies must refer to the specific article within its thread.  Replies on a thread that do not refer its posted article will be removed.  [For example, if the there is an article that addresses a particular issue then all replies must on that article thread must address that issue.]

Users must obey U.S. Copyright laws. Short quotes from copyrighted articles and web sites may be used in replies, but nothing more.  It is always best to state your opinion in your own words.

Posting articles:  All copyrighted material posted MUST link to the original online source.  Posted articles should be no more than 24 hours old - - - unless an older article would serve as vital background for a current posted article

Anyone who has properly filled out the registration form may reply to any and all postings. However, we are not responsible for the content in any reply.  Unless the language used is objectionable or incites an extreme response, you are free to speak your mind.

We reserve the right to delete any post for any reason.

Lucianne.com is a real time site.  Lucianne.com is monitored at all times by the Lucianne.com staff.  Should we decide that an individual poster is in repeated violation of these rules, that poster will be removed from the registry and posting privileges will be rescinded!

Lucianne.com’s registered users are our reporters.  By extension our users are the editors too.  Remember these rules keep this site a salon and not a saloon.  Don’t type anything you would not say in your mother’s living room.

This is your site and it is up to you to keep it a civilized place.  Users who do not follow these rules will be warned.  Users who continue to break the rules the user will be blocked.

 

Thank you for your cooperation!
