Conduct Code

[RichardJensen]

CODE OF CONDUCT:

 

All members agree not to take this forum so seriously.

 

The moderator will warn members using ad hominem attacks, angry or aggressive language, or engaging in debates about religious matters that they need to 'cool off'. Anyone that ignores the moderator will be added to the Moderator's penalty box, at the top of the page. Members will remain in the penalty box until the Moderator sees fit to remove them. The Moderator's penalty box will be labeled "PENALTY BOX". It is the responsiblity of individual members to avoid personalizing debate. The moderator is not a referee a policeman, or your mom. You must control your own behavior.

REASSURANCE TO THE PARANOID:

 

No posts will be deleted, nor will any member's status be revoked, except for the following:

 

1) Posting of pornography

2) Repeated or violent personal attacks

3) Posting of copyrighted or confidential information

 

AD HOMINEM definition from Merriam-Webster's Tenth New Collegiate Dictionary:

 

1 : appealing to feelings or prejudices rather than intellect

2 : marked by or being an attack on an opponent's character rather than by an answer to the contentions made
