Change to Forum Rules wording

mmccarthy · 08-24-2007

Hi everyone

Due to complaints being made by a number of members in the last few days about what are to all intents and purposes petty remarks, I have removed the phrase "No Personal attacks" from the forum rules.

The rest of the rule still stands but there is a degree to which a forum like this is prepared to police petty remarks made by members. As the forum grows it would become impossible to police something like this.

If any member feels they are genuinely being victimised by another member or members they can take a case to the moderators for consideration. However, this is not an excuse to disintegrate a thread into petty arguments between members as this would still be considered to be hijacking a thread.
