Happy Friday, kittens! We hope you have a fantastic, fantastic weekend.

So, I don’t know about you, but I think the world is a funny one. I’ve been watching the Olympics non-stop, myself, and rather ironically, after our post on Tuesday on bias against women in the 2010 Olympics, London 2012 has really been the year of the woman.

We’ve got two good articles for you today:

How much the world changes in two years!

1. The Feronia Project welcomes all users to join our community and to comment and treats all members of the community equally.

2. We want The Feronia Project to be home to open, transparent conversations in which people connect, discuss, share ideas, and debate the issues. Site your source if you are contradicting a statement made by the author.

We also do not allow false claims or misleading implications that any individual or group perpetuates hate or unlawful violence.

4. In order to preserve a functional and civil conversation, we do not allow trolls, trollish behavior, or stalking. We do not allow speech that is solely intended to provoke other users, to cause disorder or confusion, or to inhibit regular, on-topic conversation. In this area especially, we defer to the flags left by our users in the context of our growing community reputation system.

5. Be respectful of the blog author and community members by staying on topic with your comments.
