There is no strict moderation policy here, just common sense.
Members are usually intelligent, considerate, and honest enough to keep discussion flowing elegantly even when there are differences of opinion. So the atmosphere here is pretty relaxed.
At most, here are some suggestions:
* keep humor in good taste
* keep profanity/cursing to a minimum
* think before you react to provocation
Those who continue being disruptive despite warnings are eventually banned or deleted. Banning is for those with malevolent agendas, while deletion is a respectful way for a member to leave the forum.
If one has a problem with this forum in general, then:
1) give a thorough description of your problem and be specific
2) be constructive in your criticism by offering practical solutions or suggestions for improvement
3) if your solutions or suggestions are not even feasible, your remaining option is to leave
4) do not consistently resort to personal attacks, logical fallacies, or irrationally reject disagreement
5) This forum is not a war zone - If you have a problem with another member of the forum, please take it off line.
We do not entertain any form of slander or libel, against members of this forum, or any person alive or dead. If you have reason to make such statements, please back it up with indisputable evidence.
We've all been in other forums where either the board was overrun by saboteurs or the moderators were tyrannical.
Here at Noble Dreams we are aiming to avoid both of these pitfalls, and so far things have turned out great.
Ironically, it's always the honest people who worry about being admonished while the troublesome ones rarely admit to doing wrong. So in reading this, if you have joined this forum with honest intentions, then have no worries about posting freely.
Anyone using more than one log in, or personality, as Dana Scully would say, "Is to deceive, inveigle, and obfuscate. To obscure the truth not only from others, but from ourselves."
Please refrain from 'dual postings' eg, making a post and then repeating it in another thread
