ForumGarden Rules!
Hello All!
First, I want to thank all of our moderators for keeping FG neat and tidy from spam and worse! There have been ongoing discussions about the moderators and their roles. I am writing to clarify a few things. ForumGarden is a place where friends can gather and discuss issues that are important to them. Lately, we've wandered off the path and have an increasing amount of personal attacks, trolling, and just plain nastiness. Please take a minute and read our Site Rules. Pay special heed to rule #1.0. Your account depends on it!

Re: ForumGarden Rules!
 I second that, Tombstone.10 rules for being civil Here are some forms of engagement to consider for creating a civil society: By The Vancouver SunApril 4, 2008 1. Pay attention to what's going on. 2. Practise compassion. 3. Act. 4. Hold individuals accountable for what they do. 5. Be clear in stating your case. 6. Listen. 7. Be prepared to change. 8. Avoid violence 9. Remain genuine. 10. Treat others with the respect with which you'd like to be treated. - - - PS. I am NOT a Mod.

Re: ForumGarden Rules!
Thank you Tombstone!
This forum is just spectular! First and foremost is 1.0 1.0 Be Civil. If there was just one rule, this would be it. ForumGarden is not here to be your personal battlefield. The Golden Rule applies. People who embark on personal attacks or are unable to comment on the CONTENT but instead go after the poster are not welcome. ForumGarden is a place where friends gather. If you are unable to cope with a friendly and supportive atmosphere, then please leave. Friendliness counts and it will determine whether or not you have an account here. Draconian rules? If you are a non-civil trouble-maker, I'm sure you'll think so! For all other friends, welcome! -as AFTER said: Treat others with the respect with which you'd like to be treated. |

Thank you Tombstone!! This is a great Forum and what you've given us is much appreciated. I like the new style TOS. And the first and greatest rule particularly: 1.0 Be Civil. If there was just one rule, this would be it. And I'm sure it applies to all of us equally. I'll do my bit. Again, thank you!! |
