trennelsWe have several new people posting and commenting recently, which is great, and we'd like to welcome them. We also have a new mod, though a long-standing member, poster and commenter - welcome ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ankaret!
We'd also like to remind everyone, old and new, about a few things (which will also be on the community info page):
1) It's fine to post anonymous comments if you don't have an LJ, but in that case please please please put your name (or your nickname) at the end of all your comments. Otherwise, although the mods could (if they thought about it) tell one anonymous commenter from another by looking at your IP address, no one else can. Conversations go much better if we know who is saying what.
2) Please don't change the font size or colour from the default when you post. This is an accessibility issue - people who have impaired vision or who cannot tolerate dark-on-light schemes will have their custom settings overridden if you do this. If you want to see larger text, for example, you can adjust your browser settings to do this without changing the default font.
If anyone feels we should reset the default font here to be bigger, please say and we will investigate doing this.
3) Please try and put tags on your posts, as it makes it much easier to find old posts once they slip off the front page. There's a list of tags on the main![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
trennels page in the left-hand column. If there's a tag you want and we've not thought of it, comment and we will add it.
4) Members of the community can also tag posts, so please do! Click on Edit Tags under the post. Especially if there are no tags, but also if there are additional ones you think will be useful to future readers.
5) In general, as always: we have people here of all ages and walks of life, from at least three continents, some of whom may not have English as a first language. We want everyone to feel welcome. Please be courteous and respectful, and remember that we're here to discuss Antonia Forest's books first and foremost.
Finally, although it probably won't be necessary, if you are unhappy with a post or comment, please contact one of the mods. You can reach us via our livejournal email addresses (eg coughingbear@livejournal.com), or LJ direct message, or by commenting to one of the mod posts to ask us to get in touch (if you don't have an LJ, please give an email address or other means of replying to you).

Date: 2010-02-26 07:35 pm (UTC)Apologies if we are supposed to introduce ourselves - I was thinking that everyone here would know that OOXC stands for Owner of X Computers, name bestowed by former Trennels member - had forgotten that other people might be new too

Date: 2010-02-27 12:37 am (UTC)I belonged to the same computer group as other LJers - I'm the youngest (only just) and last remnant (sounds biblical) of a group of 15 from 1997 or thereabouts - before weblogging was invented, I think.
Our firat members weren't even on the net, let alone owning their own computers - and now I'll shut up, hopefully before you decide that I must be about 100 years old.
