More changes

We're going to a "kinder, gentler" version of online discourse. All these weird people taking out their aggressions under a pseudonym are starting to wear thin.

From now on, anyone who registers a member name specifically designed to belittle someone else will sit in time out.

Anyone who starts a thread specifically to fight with someone else will sit in time out.

Anyone who can't express themselves without using a bunch of profanity will sit in time out.

If you are a paid member and you get sat out, you do NOT get your money back. Since you are a paid member, you have a perfectly good private forum to vent your spleen, and that's where those types of threads should go. This should be good motivation for you to behave yourself in public.

PS, the Private forum is still somewhat of a free-for-all. The above rules do not apply in there unless you really get carried away.

Thank you and have a snap happy forum day.

Hey, we're trying. It's just that the forums should be fun for everyone and not some scary place where cyberbullies lay in wait for victims.
