Time Out!
This is a three step process for those members who decide not to follow the forum rules.
First step;
three day time out or temporary suspension of privileges on the forum.
Second step;
One week time out or temporary suspension of privileges on the forum
Third step
Permanent ban
We really don't want to use this but believe that it is needed since some do not wish to follow the forum rules. Those who do not follow the rules will be subject to one or more of the actions above. The seriousness of the offense will determine which action is taken. So if a member does something more serious they may skip step one and receive step two or even three. The seriousness of the offense will be determined by an administrator. You may or may not be warned since you all should know after reading this announcement.
Moderators have the ability to close a thread or delete a post if needed to keep them within the forum rules. We don't want to have to do this either but will if needed.
If everyone will stay within the forum rules when posting and make use of the pm's as needed then this will not be needed.
PM's are private, they are not to be posted on the forum. If you feel the need you can contact a moderator or administrator if you feel threatened.
If you have any questions you may contact a moderator or administrator.
