It's time to take care of a bit of FlowerChat business.
Downtime & Upgrades
It's that time again - vBulletin has released a new upgrade to our forum software that offers a cool selection of new features. This means that between now and next Tuesday FlowerChat will experience short bouts of downtime and the appearance will be changing as we update styles, templates and various modifications. Please be patient - I think you'll be happy with the results.
Profile Information
FlowerChat has always maintained a policy of disclosure that requires all members to post accurate and true information on their profiles. However, expect for the most obvious cases we have been fairly lax in enforcing that rule. That will change effective Feb 1st - we will start penalizing any users who display false information in their profile fields. Mandatory fields are:
http://www.flowerchat.com/forums/profile.php?do=editprofile
Language
At it's core, FlowerChat is a community of professionals, and as such we request that all conversation on FlowerChat be handled in a reasonably professional manner. From the beginning we have had in place a language filter that blocks the most commonly used inappropriate terms. Deliberate attempts to circumvent the language filter will be addressed by the admin team. We appreciate your understanding and co-operation.
