Read the Rules! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

ThomasE · 05-07-2008, 12:36 PM

Most of us are grownups on these boards and should know how to govern ourselves. All this name calling jazz and disrespect is out of line. I for one am getting tired of this mess. I feel like some people use these boards for purpose of acting like children. Yes, we have children that frequent this board and children are the ones that I would expect the unruly behavior from and not the adults.

1) REFRAIN from excessive foul language. If you use it, at least be discreet.

2) Absolutely no name calling. I know its hard, but you can do it.

3) If you feel yourself getting angry

at others because they share a difference of opinion than yours, try to see things from their perspective and respectfully challenge it or argue your P.O.V., not lash out at the other person.

4) If you disagree and feel yourself getting mad at others, challenge your own self and let the maturity within take over.

5) No insults or slurs to ones, race, religion or gender allowed.

6) Let's not get ridiculously deep. Do not take things so seriously. Remember that this is a board for discussing TV Shows.

You guys please make it easy for myself and JethroSimpson as we moderate. If there are any other issues feel free to contact us via private message or e-mail. I also want to take the time to thank the individual that reported a recent issue with the D.S. board. You know who are. You guys are my family online and I wanna make sure you are all comfortable enjoying your time here.

Thank you Thomas for making this sticky post. I am glad you took the time to make this and to try and stop this problem.

well done thomas for clarifying this

. it has been rather hectic on this board but hopefully, your message will send a clear signal to others not to use this forum as a platform to vent their hate towards others and of which this should put a stop to all this nonsense that has been going on in the last few days

Overall, I hate when good things are abused and used for another purpose. Any derrogatory posts or comments stand a good chance of being deleted for people that are bringing trouble to the boards will be recommended or placed under suspension... or in preschool terms they will get a "time out". Don't waste time posting non related material. Just be chill and have fun!
