Welcome and Rules
Posted: Mon Apr 29, 2024 7:55 pm
Welcome to the Longmont Stampers Message Board system. This is setup to help us all communicate and share ideas and topics on stamps! Let us know about the new cool stamp you found, or questions on how-to. We can grow this forum to fill the needs of the club and stamp community in general.
With being online, there are a few rules that we need to follow.
1. Be nice! This is a hobby to enjoy, not to stress about. Some people are new collectors, some are experience collectors. We are all here to enjoy the hobby together.
2. No profanity please. We want to be welcoming to all ages, so keep that in mind with what you say.
3. No politics. We are here for stamps, not politics. The most on “politics” would be what is going on with USPS. More than that, there are other places to talk about that.
4. Keep your topics to stamps and philately. We sometimes go off on odd tangents, but lets try keep the talking to the topic of the site, stamps.
5. No selling. We don't want to deal with conflicts with sales and such. There are sites such as Hipstamp and eBay.
6. No asking “How much is this worth?”. That is one of the killers on Stamp forums and social media sites. We will be more than happy to educate you how you can identify your stamps, and how to use stamp catalogs. But we are not here to try to apprise your stamps so you can sell them.
7. Be nice! It is well worth bring up again.
If you have any questions, let us know! Don't forget to introduce yourself. If you have ideas for sub-topics, let us know under Support->Suggestions. Remember though, this is all done volunteer. Don't expect instant results. We will try our best though to make this an enjoyable experience.
