Title: Offensive/Abusive behaviour
Post by: TheBoy on 07 August 2010, 11:18:59
It would seem that once again, I need to remind people of our stance on this.

I urge everyone to reread the "Forum Guidelines" posted at the top of each board.

Offensive or abusive behaviour on here will not be tolerated at all  >:(


Whilst on the subject, please note that the Administrators and Moderators here give their time freely and for no reward.  Its not a particularly nice role to have to fulfil, so by constantly making pointed public remarks to the team as a whole, or to individuals in that team, may be enough to make them not want to do it. I cannot run this site on my own, so no moderators, no site.  Please give them the same respect we demand you give to other members.


If anyone has an issue with this, or with the running of the site, please PM me. Privately, and in confidence.  If you think I'm a knob, and don't want to discuss it with me, PM another Administrator.

I swear this sleep thing is over rated... Get a couple of hours after my night shift and miss something exciting :'( :'(

Why, oh why, can't we behave like adults... Whoever has caused this, if you don't like the way the site is run, take your attitude and play elsewhere. If you can cope, put on your long trousers and play nicely! ;)

Fully agree - if members cannot in general accept the rules/guidelines then perhaps they should go elsewhere

Sadly, forum life is like this.

I used to moderate for an American gaming community and admin on their CSS game servers. Moderating can be fun, but on the whole it's a pain in the ass.

Funny thing was that the staff bitching for this company was far worse than any of the 'banter' on the public forums.

Keep up the good work :y

The moderators on here will always get my respect,especially when keeping some of you lot under control. ;D :y

Like TB has said no admin or mods no site where would we all be then. They should always get the credit and respect they deserve and if you can't live with that then go and run your own site see how far you get !!!!

Its time more people started to get banned who can't play within the rules

Your hard work is much appreciated Admin bosses, as forums go this is one of the more civilised ones (except for Skruntie 's dirty jokes  :D ) and the people,  though very down to earth and direct,  have hearts of gold  8-)

..you should go on the football or heavy metal forums for a really rough ride  ;)

The trouble with computers debs is that its very easy to argue with people you have never even met,you"ll probably find that these people will never have the bottle to say it to your face,or cause an argument without the need of a computer. ;)

All publicity is good publicity ;)

Deb's post earlier is a clear example of what we don't want to happen here.

That kind of behaviour will likely result in an instant ban, no questions asked.  The kind of language aimed at one of our overworked Admin Team the other day will also result in an instant ban should anyone ever use that language again. We don't like to ban people, but if needs must to maintain the harmony here...


We just want every member to be absolutely clear what is and isn't tolerated.
