What is Madville ?
Founded in 2001, Madville.com is a Web community of 17,000 members and is growing every day. News, unusual links, games, weblogs, comic drawings and various
oddities all come together on Madville to make it a unique Internet experience.
We pride ourselves on retaining a small-town feel and a real sense of community. We are not trying to be the largest community on the web, just the best one.
As you get to know your way around Madville, you'll appreciate the open communication and creativity our users demonstrate. Your input is vital to Madville. By submitting links and becoming active on the site, you enhance the Madville experience for everyone. We encourage you to get involved.
Madville is moderated by a group of people who volunteer their services each day to ensure that our content is the best it can be. The moderators review submissions and schedule the links on Madville's main page. Offensive or inappropriate content is rejected, and adult content is clearly labelled as such. Should you have a question or concern regarding the day-to-day activity on Madville, you can contact the Lead Moderator, Shiva.
The other current moderators are ZemRrushe, Kalika and Radioactive Man.
Madville's private messaging system makes it easy to contact people on the site.
Madville moderators weed out the boring news and make it easy for you to find the most interesting, thought-provoking, relevant, and often hilarious stories of each day. If you like to visit Madville while you are at work, you can use our unique censoring option. It filters out all of the NSFW (not safe for work) content to reduce the chance of inappropriate material showing up on your monitor.
Madville also allows you to see at a glance how many other readers were interested in each link, which is a good way to spot the most popular items each day. You can read the commentary submitted by other users and post your own thoughts and opinions. It's no secret that some of the comments can be more entertaining than the news itself! Madville members are free to submit almost any comment they wish, but there are some limitations. Madville moderators review all of the content and remove any highly offensive remarks. We don't like to do it, but members may be banned for not "playing fair" in the Madville community.
Madville offers our members an Blognitorial section where Weblogs meet Editorials. You can post items of interest, look for advice, or just entertain your fellow Madvillians. Every day there is a new batch of interesting topics to discuss. Each blog is assigned a category to make it easier for member to find the type of
blog that is most likely to interest them.
Madville sponsors a monthly link contest where the top 3 members whose links receive the most referrals from outside of Madville will win prizes.
Madville also sponsors a weekly comic contest where comic renderings made using MsPaint are entered. The weekly winner recieves a month of premium privledges.
For those of you who like to chat in a more dynamic fashion, there is also Madville Chat. The Madville Chat room is sometimes quite crowded and occasionally sparse. The only way to find out is to hop in. This room is essentially uncensored so enter at your own risk!
Thanks for taking the time to read about Madville.com. I'm glad you decided to visit and hope you'll stay and explore. Putting down roots in Madville is a rewarding experience, highlighted by a great community of people who call this their Internet "home." I encourage you to register and see why so many people like it here.
I look forward to seeing you around Madville!
Sincerely,
Maninyellowhat
