Bullying and respect.

By now, everyone active on the boards should know the basic rules. If you have not read them yet, then do so here.

As the board grows, there may be people who only come here to disrespect and "troll" other members. Disrespect to another member of the boards will not be tolerated. A few odd joking comments may be fine but if the person is hurt or offended by what you say to them then the person can be reported. We don't currently have a "Report" button installed on the board but it is possible to [and suggested that you] contact either myself or Jessy.

There are three levels of punishment
- A basic warning
- A temporary ban
- A permanent ban

So far, we have already had one person banned. Take this as a warning that we will not accept any hurtful or offensive comments to members of the boards. We will act.

If you are being targeted and do feel hurt or offended then do PM myself or Jessy with what they have said and how you have replied unedited. If it took place on the board then we will be able to check if your post has been edited or not.

Depending on if you provoked the person or what was actually said, we will decide on a suitable punishment. Some people can take the whole "banning" thing a bit too far and throw people in for the smallest of comments or actions.

This goes the same for online bullying. If you are being bullied by a member of the board then we must be alerted. Bullying and trolling [to an extent] will not be tolerated here so we will have to rid of it before it becomes a serious problem.

Thank you.

Thank you, Amy.
