Respect for others in the forums

Name calling, berating, and overall lack of respect for others will NOT be tolerated. This has been a recurring theme lately between several people over a few different subjects.

I am not taking sides.

When problems erupt and are pointed out to me, I contact BOTH sides and give warnings. Repeated warnings will result in a 2 week suspension from the site. Unfortunately for the first time ever, I have suspended someone for this very reason.

If after reinstatement of an account following suspension, the above behavior continues, the suspension will become permanent.

It is perfectly fine to disagree with people on various subjects, but it must be done in a respectful manner.

Sorry about this... but I dont want to be a referee.

I Agree 100% Dallan. It's ashame you have bin put in this situiation. There's almost 6500 members here now, it has grown alot in the past few years. That has ALWAYS bin a great thing about this fourm we had topics that were discussed in a respectfull manner, thats why the members keep growing here if people don't want to be a respectfull part of our community then they need to go somewhere else, there are a lot of other fourms out there that don't seem to have manners. Well I'm damn glad we do here. Thanks for your efforts you have mine, and I'm sure many others support.

Sorry Dallan if I'm one of the people who have caused a ruckus.

Joe, I agree wholeheartedly with you mate.

Its an uncomfortable feeling to have to take the moral high ground, but its an unfortunate fact of life that it needs to be done sometimes.

I sincerely hope that I have not inflamed anything with my attempts at calming things down a little by being neutral and endeavouring to stick to the facts and not taking a personal standpoint. If I have I apologise and fully expect to get my butt kicked along with anybody else that deserves it.

Thanks for reiterating the rules of social niceties Dallan.

Cheers, Vince

I'm certainly guilty of continuing a altercation when I should have just ignored it. I appologize and will try to do better in the future.

I know what you mean mate - I somehow ended up as a Moderator on a couple of firearms forums & curtailing rudeness is a chore I'd rather not need to do.

Good for you Dallan.
You're a much nicer guy than me.
I would have done it a lot sooner than you.

You could have jump on me a couple of times, and I'm about as perfect as a guy can be. Hug
