Well, that time has come to an end. The2dogs and I thought the situation would play itself out. It has not. But it will now. This would have happened earlier, but it seemed the general viewers were enjoying it, as we did not receive any PM's complaining about it.
- #1 - Avoid cases of unprovoked rudeness to others. No place for it here. Yes, with the dynamic nature of the threads and topics, tempers will flare and things will become heated from time to time. You may often encounter individuals who become passionate or emotional when expressing one's opinion or point of view. That's all understood and perfectly acceptable within reason…….but, start slamming or bashing another member and be met with consequences.
- This is pretty much self explanatory
- #3 - Disrespect to others, IN GENERAL, will be considered an item of low tolerance, especially when posting in our coed forums. Follow the Golden Rule and treat others as you wish to be treated yourself. This applies to fellow members as well as staff. We do not require that you have respect for us, but we do require that you treat us respectfully in the public forums. If you feel the need to vent, gripe, or blow off some steam regarding a staff member's action or decision, we ask that you keep it private. Email, RTM, or the PM system would be the appropriate avenue to take in such cases. In cases where you would like to request additional clarity about a staff decision, you are free to pursue an answer in either a public forum or private means of communication. If handled publicly, post your inquiry in a respectful manner.
- Again, explains itself well
- #4 - Blatant insults or hostility toward another member will be met with staff intervention. This applies to using our coed forums for name calling, personal attacks, or vulgar slang terms to describe fellow members. If you have legitimate concerns about another member here, share them tactfully in the appropriate private forums or with staff.
- FYI_ the talk about who is a fag, queer, dicksucker, etc will stop. We do not care and those are some of the derogatory slang terms which will get points.
We want more posters in Pittsburgh forums, but not at the expense of relaxing the guidelines. Realize that the guidelines will be enforced as close (or closer) than they are in many other forums.
There is plenty to post about in the normal hobby life. Let's get back to it.
Hobby on.
