First Rule - BE SMART
Do not post any personal information about yourself on this site. Feel free to make up a different name as a username when you register! Be creative! You also need to be 13 or older to register and participate on this site!

-links to your MySpace or Facebook or other friend networks
-your instant message or IM names

Do not give any of the above information while on this site, and do not ask for the above information from members of this discussion group.
This is a discussion group, not a place to meet new personal friends. DO NOT under any circumstances meet anyone in person that you meet on this site. Ask your parents permission before signing on to this discussion group.

Acceptable information to give out (only if you want):

BE NICE!
Don't insult or be mean to other members, even if you have a different opinion than they do. This is supposed to be a friendly discussion group for fans of Simone Elkeles' books. Think before you write. Sarcasm or even some jokes might be misunderstood, especially because you can't see the person face-to-face. If someone says something on this board that you think is not nice, please report the post to the administrator or moderator.

Simone Elkeles does not assume responsibility for the posts or comments of members/guests of this discussion group.

ACRONYMS!
Simone Elkeles asks that you don't use acronyms on the site, unless they are widely known.

Sometimes content or posts will be deleted. This might be for space reasons or for inappropriate content.

If you break a rule, you will be given a warning. If you flagrantly violate the rules (start an inappropriate discussion or threaten anyone, etc.), you will be immediately removed from the site without a warning.

In the subject line, put the full question so it's clear to everyone.
