Crackdown on abusive comments, UPDATED - PLEASE READ Options

[x2k]

3. YOU MUST NOT POST THE FOLLOWING

OFFENSIVE POSTINGS
Please respect the other users of the forums. Offensive postings regarding other users will not be tolerated.

Hi guys.

Please be remember that being abusive to other members is not acceptable. I've noticed a trend recently in the Agony forum that people mock others for their posts, and i nsome cases are just plain offensive.

A lot of the posts in Agony are genuine. As for the ones you may doubt, it's not anyone's place to dismiss a potentially genuine cry for help as rubbish. If you feel that any post you read is bullshit, please use the "Report" link on the post in question, this will alert us to the post so we can judge for ourselves. But do not take it upon yourself to have a go at someone.

So, from now on, I'll be watching this forum more closely for unnecessary or offensive comments. Ongoing bullying and abuse of members will not be tollerated (even if you think they deserve it) and will result in cautions being issued and offensive replies deleted.

Lighthearted comments are welcome, but don't be horrible!

Just a little reminder about this request.


Can I please add...

There is a trend at the moment for virtually all threads relating to sex or boyfriends to turn into a little chat between 4 regulars regarding a certain member who we shall call X (for some spooky reason) and who or what he will or won't sleep with.
Enough please!

UPDATE

Most people have been respectful in Agony until recently. Unfortunately, there has been a recent spate of members mocking people's problems in the posts here.

Because of a clique consisting of a handful of members who follow each other around the forums taking every post off-topic, we will now be handing out cautions for disrupting agony posts without further warning.
