Hi there Crescent, and thanks for the warm and, relatively speaking, immediate welcome to the Guide. I can't tell you how effusingly exciting this is for me. The Guide in this form just makes SO MUCH SENSE and my only sad thought is regarding all the time I've been alive and unaware of it - me, a Guide (in book form) junkie for nigh on ten years now!

And now I have a question for you. Does *everything* I write get read by someone higher up than me? By everything I mean Guide Entries, Journal Entries and Forum Entries. It doesn't bother me either way, I'm just curious. I understand that there are standards that people are asked to adhere to (i.e. be nice to others and no spitting), so that leads me to believe that everything *must* be read by someone with the power to veto. But does that mean even the 42nd entry in a Forum thread exclusively between two people that has long since lost any meaning to well-intentioned onlookers is scrutinised by a near-suicidal Ace or somesuch? I ask merely for information.

Thanks again for your offers of assistance. You'll probably come to regret it later - me, brain the size of a planet, endless questions, etc...

- pleBa.

I think this Sol III Edition has been going for less than a year (so you havn't missed that much I have been here for about 7 months, and I got here from '/.' which is speedy on such news
Any guide entry you write, and submit will be vetted by a sub editor. It is then checked by an editor, after this it is either accepted as a 'Approved Guide Entry' or you are informed why it is not suitable. This is the only thing that will be definatly be checked by TPTB All other entries are left to their own devices. However, if someone finds it offensive, and complains, then TPTB will scrutanise it carefully, possibly talk to you etc. and then decide whether it is offensive or not Hope this helps, and I will try and patiently answer all your questions
