I would just like to add one thing , well maybe a couple of things here that is covered in the "friendly reminder" thread also.
When a member gets an infraction for using language in their posts, the very
last thing they should do is to PM me or one of the other mods stating that their choice of profanity should be acceptable or even that it is spoken in the bible (yes we had a few of them to). Had one today that insisted "It is my opinion" and I guess in his mind that was OK then to use the language then :52:. He's no longer with us here.
The reason I say this is the last thing to do is because it
will be the last thing you do on the forum.
Common folks, it gets very tiring to go back and forth in PM's trying to convince people that they are a guest on the forum and should follow our simple rules or get removed. It's kinda like a no brainer.....but then again maybe this explains it
Another thing is I might add here is that if one of the other more tolerant moderators runs into a situation with a member, I get CC'd the PM's to that member and I'm not too tolerant when it comes to anyone trying to work over one of the moderators here. Most often when I have to get involved in a situation like this there's only one PM sent by me to that member to put an end to the games and that is in the form of a ban.
Respect for the other members and above all the moderators is manditory here on HDT.
Thanks for your time to read this :lero
