Javis Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Hello all, I just want to send out a general post about forum behaviour, since it has become such a huge issue lately. Generally most people are respectful, and courteous to others, on this forum, and we appreciate it very much! However, a few bad apples can ruin things for everyone. Especially if that bad apple can pull strings. The good news is the bad apples are no longer being tolerated, to keep with the fruit analogy. The admin staff are no longer tolerating insults, bigotry, antagonizing behaviour nor any bullying of any type toward any user or admin. No one is exempt. Repeat offenders WILL be banned. Alright. Carry on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javis Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 Forum Conduct- No beating a dead horse - Constantly repeating a point, complaint, or otherwise bringing up an issue over and over does not improve the quality of discussion. There are better ways to bring issues to attention.- No "versus" threads - Direct comparisons of one software over another are not allowed. Discussions about tools, workflows or development implementation is fine, but absolutely no "app vs app", or derogatory statements about an app. These bring needless debate that too often becomes contentious.- No quote battles - Line-by-line arguments, particularly those on semantics of individual sentences do no one any good. These take away from the quality of the thread and discussion. If an issue cannot be resolved in a post or two then it should be taken to private messages, or dropped.- No harassing, insulting, trolling, antagonizing or other such behavior is allowed. Treat others with respect at all times. - If you have a problem with another user, don't be a vigilante. Take it up with the user in question in private or report the problem to a moderator. For cases involving insults, bigotry, antagonizing behaviour and any bullying of any type toward any user or admin/moderator, a temporary ban without a warning will happen. Repeat offenders WILL be banned. Please treat others with respect. Let's keep the forums a fun, productive, and positive place for everyone. As a reminder, it's our practice to first privately warn users of any violations. If the user continues to push their bounds then we'll either follow with a second warning or temporary ban. If you ever feel you've been unfairly targeted, or that a moderator/admin is abusing their power you can email via sales AT 3d-coat DOT com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
