0 Subject: Dealing with Abusive Messages

Occasionally, an immature user will bombard the forum with inappropriate messages. Usually, moderators are around and quickly clean up the situation, but sometimes this will happen while the board is temporarily unattended. If this happens, please heed the following advice:

(1) Please do NOT respond to any inappropriate messages. Any harsh responses only serve to encourage this behavior. If we show a group resolve to totally ignore these intrusions, we will thwart the craving for attention. Thus, no matter how much you want to respond to abusive messages - PLEASE DON'T. (Consider this a form of "shunning".)

(2) If inappropriate posts are not being addressed, send me an email. I spend a lot of time online, but (believe it or not), not all of it is at this forum.

(3) Users who post profane or disruptive messages will be blocked from the ability to post new messages. If you engage an abuser in a profane exchange, you risk losing your privileges as well.

As we all know, the world is full of jerks who crave attention and who don't know how to conduct themselves in public. Although the overall quality of the messages at this forum is usually quite high, occasional unfortunate episodes have occurred in the past, and will occur in the future. Be assured that they will be dealt with as quickly as is possible. But please let me (and the moderators) handle these situations.

Be strong. Ignore them.
