THE RULES:

     Lucianne.com is a NEWS site. Please post news articles, columns and comment from legitimate on-line newspapers, magazines or news sites only. We prefer articles no older than one day unless an older article would serve as vital background or inform a current posted article.  

     Personal essays (known as Vanity Posts), chain letters, parodies, songs, poems and unattributed screeds are not permitted and will be removed. Chronic offenders will be banned. Please check the front page with a quick search (Ctrl F) before posting in order not to repeat an article already on the page. Duplicate posts will be removed. 

    Articles from hate group sites such as KKK, Aryan Nation, American Nazi Party, etc. are not allowed. Articles from AntiWar.com and Spotlight are not welcome on Lucianne.com. Anyone posting articles from any of these sites will be banned without notice. Nonwithstanding the above, the posting of breaking news from reliable sources or previews and/or descriptions of television appearances and/or statements that have no immediate link is permitted.  

    Cartoons, photographs and illustrations are welcome in the reply section if appropriate. Pornographic illustrations, cartoons or photographs are not considered appropriate. Child pornography in any form is forbidden by law and will be dealt with immediately and very harshly. 

    Please obey U.S. Copyright laws. Short quotes from copyrighted articles and web sites may be used in replies, but do not post entire copyrighted articles into replies. It is better to state your opinion in your own words. Any copyrighted material posted MUST link to the original source online.  

    Registration on this site is open to all who follow these rules. If you agree to abide by them, press the "Agree" button. 

    Anyone who has registered and filled out the appropriate, and brief, form may reply to any posting. We are not responsible for the content in any reply and unless the language used is objectionable or incites an extreme response you are free to speak your mind.  

    Lucianne.com is a real time site and is monitored at all times by the L.Com staff. We reserve the right to close any thread we find objectionable or block any article that does not conform to our stated editorial context. Should we decide that an individual poster is in repeated violation of these rules, that poster will be removed from the registry and posting privileges will be rescinded. 

    Those of you who have made use of this site know already what a fun, informative and highly useful place it is. 

    These rules are not difficult to adhere to and help keep Lucianne.com an exciting place to visit.
