Guidelines
We cannot always be around the board when something happens. Please consider this if something ensues – it might take a little time before action is taken because of this.
Think before you submit, no matter how angry/emotional/hurt/wronged or misunderstood you might feel.
No personal information about another member to be disclosed without their express permission. Also PM's or Emails sent to another board member are to remain private unless the sender gives permission otherwise. Always ensure you report an abusive PM or Email to us though with full details.
Be forgiving of other peoples mistakes. So when someone makes a mistake - whether it's a spelling error, a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer - be kind about it. If it's a minor error, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before reacting.
Remember the world is a diverse place. You might have one set of ideals, another people their own. We are going to get pockets of difference on any board, no matter how good the atmosphere. Don’t begrudge others use of it just because you might not find them agreeable.
A debate - nothing wrong in a good debate. However, at times you will find yourself at odds with another poster. It might become personal to you and them - but please always try and avoid making it personal. In other words, don't attack someone, attack what they say.
Here are some suggestions:
- Don't be rude to others, or make an argument personal
- Know the difference between a difference of opinion and a personal attack
- Don't try to "win" an argument by repeating yourself over and over
- Don't tell others what to post
- Keep it clean, don't use profanity
