Nobody should be afraid to post here because they think they may be personally attacked. People are going to have different opinions and people will disagree over things -- that's fine. Disagreements can be productive and educational. The key is to disagree without making it a personal issue. If you find yourself threatening someone or calling them names then you are going to have to deal with the moderators.
I will not tolerate personal attacks of any kind and we are going to come down hard on people who engage in personal attacks. Our goal is to have a friendly, educational forum which the whole family can enjoy.
Before anyone is banned you will receive a warning from the moderators. If you ignore the warning, then you will be banned from the forum and yes....I have the technology to prevent you from getting a new email address and re registering using a different IP address. So if you value your membership here, do not throw it away lightly under the mistaken belief that you can get back in -- you can't.
If you do find yourself banned, you may contact the moderators and ask to be let back in. If you send a thoughtful and apologetic email it will be considered. Nobody will be let back in without promising that they stop the personal attacks. If you are let back in and become banned again -- that's it...no third chance you are gone for good.
If you are unclear if something may be considered a personal attack, you can always use the notify moderator link to ask them before you make your post. We are all here to help and to help you have a wonderful experience in these forums.
REPORTING PROBLEMS IN THE FORUMS
