Hi All,
We have decided to go for a zero tolerance approach when it comes to abuse toward posters and mods (who volunteer their time to try to make this a better place). Why? There has been a lot of abuse going on, and as a result we are losing long time posters from the board, losing mods, losing new posters and currently have an environment in which many posters are reluctant to post. In fact some of the discussion has been described as toxic. We take some of the blame for this as what your willing to walk past is what you're willing to accept, but no longer.
So what constitutes abuse? Abuse is attacking/insulting the poster not the post. We don't care if they you have a strong opinion on a topic, but having a go at the poster is not on. AT ALL! This includes put downs and name calling for the sake of belittling another poster. It doesn't have to be foul language to qualify either.
How can you help:
Mod Abuse: Any, and we mean any abuse to mods will get you a warning and removal from the board if it's goes too far. The mods on this board give up their time freely to try to make this place more enjoyable and some of the abuse to them recently was not just unacceptable but disgusting.
If you have any questions feel free to PM me for clarification.
Regards,
Mods

How can you help:
- Apply this rule and be respectful to others.
- If you are abused or see abuse report it.
- If you can't post without abusing then don't post.
- Suck it up and apply the rule.
- Stop posting on the board if you can't respect the rules.
- Keep posting abuse and be removed from the board until you agree to respect the rules.
