Exclamation New Forum Rule: No Personal Attacks in Thead Titles

Hi, guys, I'm back for One day only and then off to Hong Kong (which I am NOT looking forward to, ever work with indigenous foreign crew who don't speak English all that well? Ahhhhhhhhhhh!)

Anyway, new rule here. NO Personal attacks or 'outing' (regarding someone's mistakes or lack of manners) on the IMFDB forums. No more "USERNAME" is stupid, a tyrant, a moron, an idiot, etc. as the title of your forum thread.

You CAN start threads generically noting your displeasure at mistakes in general and you can 'gently' direct some of your rants in the direction of some members, but we should NOT have thread titles (that are seen all the time) insulting, denigrating or criticizing members by their user name, regardless of whether they richly deserve it or not. Maturity dictates that you control your anger in public, whether or not a member is doing something really ridiculous.

I've ranted about noobs and kids and VG wannabes on the site in the past, but usually generically and did not target individual members preemptively as incompetent. So you can still exercise your free speech rights to rant about bad behavior of others on IMFDB. Just do it in the thread posts themselves.

Thank you for your cooperation.

If you want to rant about someone, go to the Arthur's Hall forum. They have a whole thread devoted to it

P.S.- join the Arthur's Hall forum (sorry, I was asked to try to rustle up some new members)

Sorry about that. I've been having a bad week and there is an individual who has been known to produce posts that have NFA community members destroying keyboards with various liquids. I have corrected much of their missinformation as according to people who have first hand experiance with the weapons in question they are totally wrong alot of the time. They claim to be an armorer someplace but they don't give any details. What is really telling is that they best segments they have written have been about video games.

As said months old thread on them is no more i will not start a new one.

I'm sure most of us can be civil here.

There's no reason we can't be civil. *stabs Persian soldier with a spear*
