Abuse of forum and other forum users
Posted: Wed Mar 01, 2006 2:10 am
As everyone has noticed, there has been a surge of activity on this board recently. Some of this is welcome, but much of it is just garbage or abuse that will deter legitimate users from contributing if it is allowed to continue.
Please try not to start new threads where you can simply add to existing ones. Vigorous debate is tolerated and even encouraged, but please do not allow yourself to be sucked into gratuitous slanging matches.
There is (currently) no maximum number of posts or threads you can create in a given time period, but if you exceed what is reasonable and litter the board with garbage, we may take action.
Zathura's account has been suspended, pending his satisfying us that he is not our old 'friend' Matt Stollar. For newer users who are not aware, Matt Stollar is a former pupil of St James who registered under various different guises in 2004 and virtually took over this board (as well as Mike Warham's Yahoo board) with numerous lunatic threads until he was banned.
In summary, please remember that this board is here for all to enjoy. It is not your personal soap box. Act with consideration towards other users.
