Forum Conduct

[ChinoCharles]

Hello YW'ers.

I think if you frequent this forum you have seen a couple of spats in the last few weeks. We are lucky in a sense to have some very passionate members, but that passion doesn't always manifest itself in a constructive manner... lately moreso than before. As we have become more strict on forum conduct, I think the forums have taken a turn for the better. As a moderator staff, we are committed to keeping that trend going. A couple points...

[1] The correct way to deal with a disagreement that results in a personal attack is to PM a moderator. We are here to deal with these situations, but we have been underutilized recently. Most of us have alternate contacts as well. If you have AIM, add me right now: ChinoCharles. You can find info for the other mods under their screen names in their posts.

[2] Generally, I think everyone deserves a warning, but in the future persistent issues with conduct will be met with a one week ban. That isn't to say we don't want you here, but sometimes it is best to cool down for a bit before returning to actively posting.

Thank you for reading. If anyone ever sees anything that they think warrants attention from a moderator or feels like they are being singled out unfairly, please don't hesistate to contact myself or any of the other mods. One of our greatest assets is our huge member base, and we would appreciate it if our members could help us in trying to keep the mood of this forum light and fluffy.

Thanks a lot everyone. Happy posting.

Charles
