No personal attacks, period. This means that you are not to insult, harrass, belittle, threaten, accuse, or spread slander about another member, person, shop, website, etc. Nor are you to post a topic that is meant to attract flaming (we call this trolling). This applies to all public posts, private messages and email. Public complaints and accusations are not welcome here. If you attack or insult a Moderator as a result of a Warning or Infraction you received from them, you could be Suspended or Banned depending on the severity of the note.
No elitist or negative attitudes. Be helpful and friendly to all, no exceptions.
No Trolling. A "troll" is a person who posts content for the sole purpose of baiting someone into a confrontation - they do this for entertainment, to make themselves feel more adequate, and to get attention. It can be blatant or subtle. Do not reply to troll-like threads. If a message is posted that looks like the person is trying to get a rise out of someone, just report it and move on. The best remedy for keeping trolls away is just ignoring them. Do not reply to their baiting messages. Ignore them and they will go away and take their senseless agendas with them. Take the bait and they will stick around and keep posting.
No Flame Wars. A flame war is where a debate ends and an emotional argument begins. The intention is to get the last word in. Though it might not contain personal attacks the people involved are rarely civil and end up disrupting the discussion in progress with their back-and-forth banter. These arguments will be removed from the discussion.
This site should be a friendly place to interact with other enthusiasts. All hostile posts will be removed and those members will be warned/suspended/banned depending on the severity of the violation..
