Just thought I'd clarify some stuff here about 'bashing'. I don't think I need to explain what it is. If you do have a problem about something or someone on the forums, please keep your comments respectful and if you feel that your problem will not be resolved like this, please contact either myself, Mr E or Frozen_Lily and we'll look into the problem for you. That's what we're here for.
The same goes for any kind of problem you have on the forum, whether it is about the forum itself or about another member. If you feel that any problems with other members can be resolved peacefully they by all means get to it, that's between you and whoever you have a problem with. If, however, things do get out of hand one of the moderators will step in to put a stop to it and attempt to sort out the problem.
I don't like seeing anyone punished in whatever way or for whatever reason. But, the truth being, we want to keep things friendly and as insult free as possible. The fact is that when someone does insult someone else or something on the forums, that member has a problem with something. And if that's the case, then by all means tell us, we want to hear about it. These forums are here for you and we want to make them an enjoyable place to be... but it needs to be enjoyable for everyone. So please, if there is a problem, even if it seems trivial, if you feel that you have tried to sort it out peacefully, but it is not happening, then speak to one of the admin staff and we'll help set things to right and attempt to improve things for you.
At the end of the day we're going to get alot of people from different backgrounds and different ways of life who will react differently to certain comments and situations. Me, personally, you can insult me all day and the most you'll get out of me are a few sarcastic remarks. But alot of people can take things different ways and respond more negatively to certain comments. So it is important to be respectful, even when it is the last thing on your mind that you feel like doing.
So please, keep that in mind, and any problems you feel you cannot sort out yourself, or have tried, then please ask someone here and please don't say things out of turn that can be offensive.
Thank you for your time and if you haven't fallen asleep by now reading all of that, I congratulate you. Have fun.
