Racism and abusive PM's - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

I want to ensure we are clear there will be zero tolerance over a couple of clear issues:

1. NO RACIST COMMENTS

Racist comments will be absolutely not tolerated here - anyone found making racist comments in public OR private on the forum software will be booted out of the community - permanently.

No warning, no infraction - just gone.

I appreciate I've just missed a flare up on one thread about this, so I'm making it plain that from now on, the mods are instructed to nuke on sight any such posts, and posters.

Any such PM's forwarded to me will also be dealt with in the same manner.

2. NO ABUSIVE PM'S

There have been a few cases of people taking flame wars to Private Messages (PM's), and I'm making it clear it's not acceptable.

If anyone wants to act like school children and call people names, do it elsewhere - I absolutely will not tolerate people wasting the forum software resources and server space just to send abusive PM's to other members.

If you have any problems or issues with another member, try and resolve it in a civilised manner. Myself and the staff are here if you cannot resolve it

I don't care who starts any fights here - I will finish it for you. And you may not like the way I do it. So just don't get involved in one in the first place.

Any questions?

These rules also apply to visitor messages so please let's not have any more abusive or insulting messages on the board.
If you have a problem, with another member, please contact a moderator, do not post, PM, or leave visitor messages, containing abusive or racial language.
