***PLEASE READ**** before posting

I have received a couple complaints over the past week about gory and disturbing topics being posted here. I have had to close one thread already.

This is definitely a news-related forum and unfortunately we live in a world where we see disturbing news stories daily. I would like to ask, please, if members can try to use a bit more discretion in terms of what is posted and how gory/graphic/disturbing these topics are, it would be appreciated. We do have KIDS on this forum and they may see these posts. That is a concern. swankymama had to post something similar in the celeb section this week too, due to disturbing pics of Britney Spears being posted there.

Also, PLEASE remember that you MUST post a publicly accessible LINK to source your story. Links are being left off and due to rules about copyrights, we need them posted here so vlad and megs don't have problems. Because this has been more of a problem lately, if the links are not posted your thread may be closed/edited/deleted. Try to remember if you can.

Thanks!!!
