Lately there have been quite a few posters that we get a lot of complaints about for various things like;
1) Flaming
2) Baiting
3) Trolling
4) Lack of respect
5) Forcing their opinions on others
I and the rest of the staff are tired of these situations.
We are not trying to censor anyone or play Gestapo, there is a general lack of respect going on and it will stop.
It is ok to disagree with ones opinion; HOWEVER forcing your opinion on others and flaming them for it is not acceptable.
Example
User 1: I liked the transformers movie and what Bay did to them
User2: I don’t care what you like, bay sucks and so do you for liking him
If this was the “real world” your teeth would be knocked out for telling something like that to someone. This is not acceptable conduct.
How things like that should be handled..
User 1: I liked the transformers movie and what Bay did to them
User2: That is your opinion, I don’t like bay or his work and that is my opinion
See, much better. No hostility and the convo can continue with everyone talking and discussing like mature people.
Baiting and trolling is self explanatory, there is no reason for someone to follow someone else around and argue with them in every thread they post in.
The rules are here http://www.seibertron.com/forums/viewto ... =9614&sid=
This will not be tolerated anymore and it could end up with users being perma-banned from Seibertron.
