This is a friendly reminder from your administrative staff - Please mind your posts. There has been quite a surge in negative, inflammatory, and downright rude posts of late and it needs to stop. If you happen to see a thread that gets under your skin, please resist the temptation to spit written fire upon the thread. If moderators come across such posts, one of the following may occur.
1) Your posts can and will be deleted without warning.
2) A warning post from a moderator may appear in the thread itself.
3) Frequent offenders will receive a warning via PM from a mod.
4) Repeat offenders (i.e. those who have been warned via PM) may receive a forum ban.
Seriously folks, this needs to stop. Use common sense when posting. If someone flames you, ignore them. If you feel the need to flame someone, don't. And as always, DON'T FEED THE TROLLS!
- The Management.
EDIT: And in case this wasn't clear, flaming known forum trolls is frowned upon. Do not take it upon yourself to address a forum troll's posts. Notify a mod and walk away. Otherwise, you will receive a PM from a mod asking you NOT TO FEED THE TROLLS!
EDIT #2: It seems I overlooked our PM system and how it falls into all of this. Common sense would dictate that you follow the site's rules when sending PMs. However, some of you seem to think that if we don't specifically dictate the rules then they don't exist. Therefore...
You can still be reported for PM ToS violations by other CAGs. If you are reported, expect to be dealt with by a mod. You are expected to conduct yourself the same way via PM as you are on the boards. Failure to do so will result in disciplinary action.
