[Archived] Abusive, Insulting, Intimidating or Threatening Behaviour

[Paul]

In response to suggestions of board censorship the Brexit thread has been reopened. 

From this point forward behaviour which is deemed abusive, insulting, intimidating or threatening, in the moderators’ view, will NOT be tolerated. A single instance of such behaviour will result in a permanent ban.

As examples calling a member daft or stupid, while unnecessary may not attract much attention, calling another member, for example, vermin scum or racist will result in a permanent ban. Repeated incidences of minor insults may result in a similar ban.

Any member deemed to be goading others with the intention of achieving an insulting reaction will face a permanent ban. 

The moderators may choose not to discuss their actions.

There are, in the moderators’ view, no acceptable insults.

Persistent questioning of these decisions may result in a ban.

PLEASE NOTE THE ABOVE IS WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT
