Hi
Over the weekend I had to remove a number of threads as these became out of control with name calling, forum member not respecting others.
I have taken action directly with a number of members.
Please respect each other, others have different opinions, if users start name calling, does not mean you can do the same.
Please note our moderation policy
· Swearing, racist, sexist, abusive, crude or politically offensive language or images. Please keep your language civil – this principle extends to modifying the spelling of profanity to avoid filters, and will be treated in exactly the same manner. Please see the full guidelines here.
· Posting bad or spam links. Do not add links to any racist, sexist or any other offensive (politically or otherwise) sites or pornographic websites - this will result in an immediate permanent ban.
· Personal insults or abuse of other posters. Disagreeing with someone's point of view or about issues is fine - enjoy the debate. What we will not tolerate is lacing your argument with personal insults or trading abuse.
· Using multiple identities on the site; this is a tactic often used by trolls to try to create conflict.
· Arguments or disagreements with other users should not be carried over into other threads or posts.
· When reading posts, try not to jump to conclusions and assume that offence is intended. An inherent problem with communicating on the internet is that facial expressions and tone of voice are absent, so it can be easy to assume that a comment which was intended as banter was a direct provocation - potentially leading to retaliation. Try to assume the best interpretation of a comment; the alternative would be to ban humour and banter, which wouldn't make contributing very enjoyable
Should this continue, further action will be taken to stop this!!!
