Lemmie try to explain this. I'm sure I'll do a horrible job but here goes.........................
The Jemsite mods/admin have taken a bit more of a lax approach on the moderation the last couple months giving people a bit more freedom and allowing slight bending of the rules and more freedom in how/what they post. After all it is a forum and not a prison (right?
) We don't want to rule with an iron fist and shouldn't have to...straight up!! But, inevitably (unfortunately) true to form you give people an inch and they take a mile:roll:
Over the last 11 years Glen has instituted/added/modified forum rules for just that reason, all the while keeping it a family community and a damn good one at that!!! Thank you GLEN!!!
This is what has made Jemsite such a great place!
We would like to keep it that way!!
But.....as we have found out first hand, when you don't enforce the rules people see that and push the limits as far as they can go. Must be human nature:lol:
What irks me most are the downright mean/condescending/hurtful posts
Why do people have to be like that?? :| This is a place to learn and grow together!! You can share knowledge and debate such without hurling abuse at each other which in essence ruins the whole concept of debating and passing on knowledge in the fist place!
Anyhow, bottom line: when rules aren't enforced you begin to lose control and we just aren't going to let that happen here
This forum has been a wonderful knowledge filled caring community for many years now! The main reason (other than the many awesome members) is the fact that the rules have been enforced over the years!!
Lastly, the only people who have been banned are the people who deserve it and continually push, break rules and are extremely rude and impolite (to put it nicely)
Now not to mention any names *already mentioned earlier in this thread* but one of them is gone for good (too many chances)
The other will be back.
Now come on guys, lets make this work!! Please post with consideration to other folks opinions and try to have a little respect for the others in your Jemsite family. It's a great family to be a part of! Please follow the Classified rules and slack off the chit chat unless it is pertinent to the OP subject!
Laugh, have fun and share/gain knowledge!
*peace love and good happiness stuff*
Oh BTW - Bones is a dork and Jax is a wimp :razz:
WOO HOOOOOOOOOOO!
Exit stage left.....with verve even!!!
