Arguments from other forums stay on other forums - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Just a quick note to say that any arguments relating to other forums stay there - I have no interest in seeing TW get caught up in any kind of inter-community flame war.

There have been a few arguments of late, where discussions have become heated and turned into personal attacks. I can allow for the heat of the moment, but just to make it clear, personal attacks are against TW's rules and won't be tolerated further. That includes in Private Messages as well as in public.

If anyone feels they are being subjected to abusive behaviour, please use the red triangle icon at the bottom of the username box to report public posts, or forward any abusive PM's to me.

I shouldn't have to get heavy handed - we're all supposed to be mature adults here. So let's behave that way, thanks.

In the meantime, I expect that we've all moved on from the recent foolishness.

If you have an argument from someone from another website, take it there - it's not welcome on Techwatch, and I have zero tolerance for any further bickering.

Moving on, to the vast majority of our members not involved in any of this, thank you for your patience and for helping make the Techwatch community the positive and helpful place that it is.

Don't know what its about but feel admonished anyway. a real telling off that.

Its not a telling off as such its more a case of follow the rules and everything will be fine

Depends a bit on the wording I would have thought but not offended

Just to repeat this message.

I don't know what's happening at/with Wizardmods, but issues relating to that site have absolutely nothing to do with Techwatch, and I am very fast losing patience with people spamming TW with illegal content because of what has happened on another website.

Disruptive members are not tolerated, and it's genuinely sad when people feel their own website has been attacked to then go out and attack other people's websites themselves.

If anyone from wizardmods wants to remain on TW, they had better ensure this finishes now.
