Reiteration of members responsiblities in the PoFo. MUST READ BEFORE POSTING!!!

Due to recent behavior patterns among Political Forum users, it is time to clarify what behavior is EXPECTED and ALLOWED among participants.

Expected

• Members are EXPECTED to be curtious and polite to one another. This means, no more character assassination, no more calling another members political views or preferred parties into question. No more games of trying to bait other members into losing their bearing and getting themselves in trouble.
• Members are EXPECTED to debate the subject matter at hand.

Allowed

• Members are ALLOWED to evolve threads from on subject to another, provided there is some link between the two subjects. Some of these Evolved threads will be subject to being split into different threads.
• Members will be ALLOWED the occasional on-liner, provided it is an on-liner about the thread subject and doesn’t vaguely refer to another member. Who determines if the one-liner refers to another member? Staff. Period. In other words, you better make sure your on-liner cannot be misconstrued, because you will be held responsible for whatever you post. Not negotiable.

Enforcement

• All rules used for enforcement of behavior in the TOS will apply. If you have a question about these rules, please review the TOS.
• You do the crime, you do the time. If you come back and make your displeasure with staff known in an improper manner, you’ll be punished for being antagonistic. There is a questions forum for a reason, use it.

Guys, I am REALLY getting sick of all the potshots some of you are taking at each other. Read and take someone's opinion in, then respond in a respectful manner. If you can't do that without insulting someone, POST ELSEWHERE!

We've tried giving people time off and it doesn't seem to work. We're gonna make it work one way or another, so everyone here needs to get their act together.
