Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to make a few things clear, but before I start, I wanted to let you know that I use to read the free board almost daily several years ago before becoming a premium member. That was back in the day when a full time moderator was here, and as you know, things change and we don't have anyone like that anymore. Out of all of the free ND sites out there, I thought this one was far and away the best.
Anyone that knows me on The Roundtable will say that I'm fair, but at the same time I have to look out for what's best for the majority because what I've learned is that it's a very small vocal minority that creates all of the havoc, and I need to do what's best for this site. Please keep in mind that I'm not a full time moderator for this site, and neither is Mike Singer, but we do however try to address things that shouldn't be happening.
For starters. If your first post is an obvious flame, something inappropriate, or if it's spam then you'll be given a lifetime vacation to the cornfield.
People are going to disagree, and that's great because I like a good knock-down drag-out debate between posters, but if it gets too personal with name calling, or inappropriate language then that person will take a short vacation from the board. What I don't want to see happen though is a witch hunt.
If you're here to just flame or troll then see above. I know there are posters from other sites that drop by, and some of them are very good, like the poster from SC.
We get a lot of reports from posters, and some are legit, while others are not. My suggestion is to use the ignore function for people that you don't get along with, but keep in mind that if someone continually breaks the rules they will lose their posting privileges.
Hopefully, people can do their part to be civil to each other.
Thanks,
Rich
