Great idea, and lets hope that is now the end of all the squabbling then.

Happy Pet forum. xx

Re: New Rules to Prevent Arguments on the Forum

Well done mods, good call.

I had thought that some of the comments made by people were a little excessive, rude and unnecessary so I hope this stops them after all why pick a fight with someone you don't really know except on a forum.

You have to remember that once you have put something in to cyber space it does not go away and will come back to bite you at some stage in the future.

Please note that this will not be tolerated from now on and any arguments started on the open forum will be dealt with quickly to prevent it from happening again. For anyone who starts the argument and takes the thread off topic, they will firstly be given an infraction, if they continue, they will be given a 1 day ban as a cooling off period. After this ban, if they continue they will be given a 2 week ban and then a permanent ban from using the forum.

When a member is banned, any pm's from users to mods or admin regarding the ban will be ignored and any threads started as to why a member is banned will result in an infraction and then a ban for the thread starter and the thread will be deleted. Any decisions made to ban a user by admin or a mod should be respected.

Please note that these rules have been created to stop the petty arguments that have been hapenning on the forum which get out of control and put our visitors off joining this forum.

Many Thanks for your understanding
Mark

thank you


well its about time something was done, pehaps now we can all get back to how it used to be, getting/givin advise helping each other, and having a laugh

Re: New Rules to Prevent Arguments on the Forum

Hopefully this will work. I do think though that if someone is being bullied via a PM it should be an instant ban Good Work

Re: New Rules to Prevent Arguments on the Forum

if someone is abusing the pm option and using it to intimidate couldnt that option be taken away from them?? but then saying that if they were banned it would be anyways
All good work mark and mods

Re: New Rules to Prevent Arguments on the Forum

Lets hope this makes people think twice before posting something nasty. After all, weve put these rules in place to prevent this, we dont want to have to ban anyone from the forum at the end of the day. We want people to enjoy themselves on here
