Dear Board Members,
Unfortunately it has been brought to my attention by multiple posters (myself included) that we have had a situation where one of our members has been involved in actively flaming and upsetting other members with a negative attitude and rude comments. While this board is one that encourages conversation and friendly debates between Days of Our Lives Viewers, this kind of behavior will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
For the most part Patrick and Billie fans are a great group who get along and keep the faith as a whole for the pairing through good times and bad. It is common knowledge that not everyone will agree with everything they see in every post. However with that being said I do expect a certain level of courtesy among members when dealing with one another and speaking to one another on this forum. As I mentioned friendly debates are encouraged and welcome, but when one member launches a personal attack on another the result is as follows:
1st offense: The member will receive a warning from one of the board's administrators that will let them know that they have violated one of the rules.
2nd offense: The member may or may not receive a second warning as it is up to the moderator and their discretion on the subject of the offense. However, if the administrator/moderator would like to give a member another opportunity to redeem themselves, it is not out of the question.
3rd offense: The member in question is banned from the forum no questions asked.
If at any time the member in question chooses to argue with the moderator and makes blatant attempts to ignore the rules of the forum, then the member will be banned as this kind of behavior is NOT to be tolerated.
That being said I realize that a great many members do not have to worry about any of this because you are all very civil, very friendly people. However, due to some unfortunate situations lately where a member in particular not only continually broke the rules, but proceeded to argue with administration and be rude and arrogant and downright nasty with people on staff here, we must put these rules into effect. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions on the matter please feel free to send a PM to one of the board administrators/moderators or myself and we will be more than happy to help or clear up the confusion. Have a great day everyone!
Thank you for your time
