In recent times, there has emerged a pattern of members dominating threads with ongoing "back and forth"
personal attacks and argument. There have been multiple suggestions and requests communicated to the moderators to manage these issues and extensive concern has been expressed about the impact of this behavior on the site (potentially driving away current or prospective members). We moderators have been discussing this issue at length and are likewise concerned. So, we propose a new policy in an effort to improve the situation: Moderators will monitor threads as usual, but when we witness threads dominated by personal attacks, "flaming", ongoing arguments consisting principally of attack/counterattack of a personal nature, moderators will initially delete the thread (warn the participants), then with repeated violations will respond with either a temporary or permanent ban (depending on the individual situation). Hopefully, it won't come to this and we can see an end to this pattern.

Good call

thanks battelcat i hope this'll work

I really do hope these new enforced rules will apply to everyone. This meaning 'certain members' won't get leeway.

Good move mods.....Hope this gives us all a much need it guideline for peer respect...

These guidelines are there for everyone, as they always have been.
They are there for newbies to follow, and to remind peers.
They're there for the whole community and for the site.

If you dont agree that someone should start a thread somewhere......tell them in a PM and then complain to a mod.
If you dont like the fact that someone posts something in a thread....tell them in a PM what you think of them and then complain to a mod.

Just do anything but bicker openly in nearly every thread in the forums....it's becoming a bit embarrassing guys and galls.

Sounds great, well done Mods

Yeah, sounds good...hopefully this will bring some in the forum, and things can go back to running smoothly! 

Good call mods

Now let's hope nobody gonna make me miss my big red ban button anymore!
